Dr. Dog

In July 2010, when Dr. Dog took the stage at the XPN Music Festival, they were riding high on the momentum of their album *Broom* (released in 2003) and *Fate* (released in 2008), both of which had established their distinctive sound—an infectious blend of rock, folk, and indie charm. Just around the time of this performance, they were preparing to launch *Shame, Shame* in 2010, which would further cement their presence in the indie scene. What's fascinating here is that this live recording of "Jackie Wants a Black Eye" showcases not only their signature harmonies and playful lyrics but also serves as a testament to their growing popularity. The energy from the Wiggins Park audience is palpable, reflecting the band's ability to connect deeply with fans. So, this particular performance isn't just a snapshot of a moment in time; it's a celebration of Dr. Dog’s evolving artistry—a blend of familiarity and freshness that practically invites you to sing along.
