Dr. Dog

In October 2010, when Dr. Dog graced the KEXP studio with their performance of "Stranger," they were riding high on the wave of their album "Shame, Shame," which had been released earlier that same year. This album showcased their unique blend of rock and roll infused with a vintage sound, marking an important moment in their career. Dr. Dog had been steadily gaining traction since their earlier works, but "Shame, Shame" really pushed them into the spotlight, thanks to standout tracks that highlighted their infectious melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Interestingly, the recording at The Showbox SoDo occurred shortly after the album's release, capturing a band that was clearly in sync and relishing their creative momentum. The intimate setting of KEXP's studio allowed them to connect more deeply with listeners, showcasing their musicianship and charm—a reminder of how important live performances can be for both the artist and the audience. It's moments like these that leave a lasting impression, don’t you think?
