Dr. Dog visits KXUA

Last year, before hitting the big time, the previous exec staff was able to secure Dr. Dog for a very memorable back to school bash. The crowd was huge, and everyone seemed to know every song. Earlier that day for some reason I had agreed to interview the band in the studio. I freely admit that this was a mistake on my part. I had no interviewing experience at the time and was pretty nervous about the whole thing. I plowed through the four or five questions I had jotted down on an index card, mainly about recording music cause thats about all I know, and then was pretty lost as to what to ask them. I laugh a lot when I'm nervous, and it really comes out in this interview. Despite my inept journalistic instincts the guys were really nice and we had a good time. we were still experimenting with podcasting at the time, so we managed to record the interview although the quality is pretty poor. But Jordan snapped the picture of them above (which happens to be their picture on Wikipedia.) I also recorded the show with my tape recorder, and that actually turned out pretty awesome. I am a firm believer that good music is always good no bad how bad the recording.

EDIT: I just remembered that The Traveler chopped up my interview the best they could and published it later that week. It's pretty obvious that they were struggling for to find something useful out of the interview.

You can download the interview and the recorded performance from later that night at the Gypsy right here.
