The Dogs

OUT ON TOUR, JUST GRUMPY The Dogs are back again!

A new album from The Dogs is coming just after summer, so naturally they’ll be touring a little too! Frontman Kristopher Schau explains the headline:

Grumpy old men on tour might be the saddest thing you can pay to see, so we absolutely have to avoid that. This time, we’ve therefore tried to maximise every parameter to give people the chance to see a beaming band on stage. After a four-minute workshop, we settled on these three points:

1. Play smaller venues That gives our ageing senses a better chance of seeing, smelling and tasting the people who’ve come to see us. So, for example, we’d rather play John Dee twice than play Rockefeller once in Oslo this time. Win-win for everyone involved. We have more fun, and you get to see a real pensioner up close. Well lit and with a microphone in hand.

2. Start the show as early as possible! That way, we’ll still have enough energy after the concert to chat with people at the merch stand. Another win-win. Some much-needed socialising in these alienating times, and everyone’s in bed by midnight.

3. Even more sweets on the rider A double jab right to the chin of dietary advice, so hopefully we can feel a little “punk” in the autumn of our lives.

In short: We’ll do everything in our power to become a SMALLER band, not a bigger one, this time! Growth is for idiots. Or, as a wise man from Østfold once said: “Spektrum is for influencers”.

On 20 March, The Dogs are back with a new song, “Back to Fucking”.

On their previous album, The Dogs were stupid enough to release the single “I’m done with fucking, I just wanna dance”, which was a lie. The fear of consequently being FORCED to dance — something they neither want to do nor know how to do — meant that the band sadly didn’t dare to tour or release records for well over a year. With “Back to Fucking”, they want to apologise for this fiasco.
