Dr. Dog

In September 2008, Dr. Dog was at a significant point in their career, having recently released their album "Fate" earlier that year. This marked a pivotal moment as it was their first album to be recorded in a professional studio, showcasing a shift in their sound while still maintaining their distinctive blend of rock and psychedelic influences. The live recording of "The Beach" at the Paste Magazine offices demonstrates the band's engaging performance style and connection with their audience. Interesting to note is that during this time, Dr. Dog was gaining increased recognition and was beginning to expand their fan base beyond the indie scene, which would lead to more significant opportunities in the years to come. Their performance in a casual setting like the Paste office also illustrates their commitment to intimate live shows, which has remained a hallmark of their appeal.
