The Lost Dogs describe their music as “traditional American music with a decidedly modern feel.” (I like American music; do you like American music? I like American music, too.) I probably would have said alternative rock, except that that brings to mind Pearl Jam or the Smashing Pumpkins, which is entirely the wrong genre, or alt-Country, except that not all their songs are really “country” — I don’t know. Their “American music” description fits pretty good.
At any rate, they are a good band, and their members hail from some of the all time favorites of my youth; the Choir, Daniel Amos/Swirling Eddies, and the 77s. What, you’ve never heard of these bands? Clearly you were not hovering around the Rock Music shelves in your local Christian bookstore in the eighties and nineties.
All this to say; I’ll be going to see these guys tonight. They are the only band playing, so hopefully it will be a long set. I’m looking forward to it. I’m a little ashamed that I will not know the words to all their latest material by heart; all my favorites are getting a little old and mouldy by now. All the same, it will be a pleasure to finally see all these guys play a live set. I’ll try to take some pictures, if the club allows cameras.
Just for completeness sakes, the current line-up is:
Terry Taylor (Daniel Amos, the Swirling Eddies)
Michael Roe (The Seventy-sevens)
Derry Daugherty (The Choir)
Steve Hindalong (The Choir)
