Dog Is Dead

Hopefully the name Dog Is Dead is from a movie. If it’s a quote that lives within a special part of the band’s heart and has emotional significance then it’s potentially excusable. This blog should be called ‘Good Bands, Bad Names’. Every post seems to feature my initial apology for the bands name followed by my endorsement of their songs. If you’ve got a good thing going though, right? guys?

Dog Is Dead have a saxophonist! None of us thought we’d see the sax coming back in to popular music for a quite a while yet. I won’t mind if this is a one off. It’s used well though. The two tracks that I’ll stream (Two! Gift upon gift!) have pretty obvious sax melodies which work in tandem with keyboard to give them a smooth sound. Above all that though, the gang vocals make for some cool crescendos.

You may remember that in the last paragraph I promised two songs. I’m here, hat in hand, letting you know that I’m sorry, there’s just one. It’s great though. To hear a second song (and a third even!), visit their myspace. Bonus: The Zoo is a free download from The Culture of Me.
