Dr. Dog

On March 3, 2014, Dr. Dog delivered an electrifying performance at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, showcasing their song 'Ain't It Strange.' By this time, the band had recently released their album 'B*-Sides,' which arrived in early 2014, just ahead of this live recording. This collection featured tracks that didn't make it onto their prior studio album, 'B-Room,' emphasizing their dynamic range and creative process. 'Ain't It Strange' speaks to the band's reflective songwriting style, melding vintage rock vibes with a modern sensibility that resonates with fans. It’s fascinating how Dr. Dog, with roots in the indie rock scene, balances catchy melodies and profound themes, keeping audiences both entertained and introspective. Performing this track live, they encapsulated the energy of their journey, reminding us of the powerful connection music fosters in communal spaces like the Crystal Ballroom.
