Dr. Dog fills up Crowbar
Posted by btreotch on Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 10:00 PM
The last time Dr. Dog played Tampa was Halloween '07 to a light crowd with only a few fans singing along. Though it was only a year-and-a-half ago, it was must have felt like a small lifetime for the Philly fivesome. Since then, the band has been on several "Best of" lists, put out a well-received album, '08's Fate, and eevn appeared on NPR a few times, too.
A guy in a dog costume replete with lab coat and stethoscope joined Dr. Dog for some dancing and clapping during “Oh No,” the the band closing the set shortly after with a haunting rendition of “The Beach” and “The Rabbit, The Bat and The Reindeer.” The crowd roused the band for a two-song encore, “Say Something” and “My Old Ways.” The show ended somewhere around 1 a.m.
Here's the complete setlist:
The Ark, The Way the Lazy Do, 100 Years, The Old Days, Hang On, The Breeze, Worst Trip, Ain’t it Strange, My Friend, Army of Ancients, Fools Life, From, Oh No, The Beach, The Rabbit, The Bat, and The Reindeer
Encore: Say Something, My Old Ways
The band has been on the road for a good while, but they say they’re staying sane listening to a good bit of M.Ward and the Black Keys. They’re back on the road this Spring and after playing a date at Coachella Festival, they plan on taking some time off and hitting the studio this summer.
Local boys Win Win Winter opened up the show with a short, seven-song set that included a bold, but capable cover of The Beatles’ “Something.” These guys are a good, young band, but the frontman is an oversinger and I just don’t believe him (yet).
Touring with Dr. Dog is Boston quartet Drug Rug. They were good enough, but ultimately forgettable save for their mix of indie rock and blues riffs and, of course, the girl guitarist/singer, who played a mean little Gibson.

Was a great show, really enjoyed it. The review of Win Win Winter seems uninformed. Not 5 months Creative Loafing awarded WWW Best Of The Bay. The singer is powerful on a level unseen in the local music scene. They will forever be the Kings OF Tampa. It's rather poor reporting to say a band has yet to convince you when your publication has awarded them the best band in tampa title. It's actually sad.

James.. that's some sweet logic you've got going.. "These guys are a good, young band" and note the subtle difference between "I" and "we"
I think this is a great post. One thing that I find the most helpful is number five. Sometimes when I write, I just let the flow of the words and information come out so much that I loose the purpose. It’s only after editing when I realize what I’ve done. There’s defiantly a lot of great tips here I’m going to try to be more aware of.

Faith just isn't anything you possibly can need or command; it happens to be a end result of dedication to perception. Do you assume so? Posed By Jordan Spizike
