Dr. Dog

As I see it, Dr. Dog is one of the most under appreciated artists that I can think of off-hand. They are ridonk good in the studio and put on a great live show. I saw them open for a sort-of popular Austin band and Dr. Dog just blew them away. It was kind of like that scene in the VH1 MC Hammer movie where the acts get really mad that Hammer is hyping the crowd up too much, but he only knows one speed. Basically, Dr. Dog is the ‘60s-pop inspired MC Hammer.

I saw a little bit of their set at Austin City Limits, but I arrived too late. If you see them on the schedule of the festival you are going to, I would definitely stop by for a few songs.

Cool Fact: They performed at 2007's Lebowski Fest in Louisville, Ky., doing some of their own songs as well as some songs from the film.
