Wetdog
Bio: London three – piece, WETDOG are set to release their new album on Angular Recordings on the 30th of November 2009.
‘Frauhaus !’, the follow up ... (more)
to last years debut long player ‘Enterprise Reversal’, is released on CD and vinyl and features fourteen new tracks including forthcoming single ‘Lower Leg’.
Formed a couple of years ago with a line up of Rivka Gillieron (vocals & guitar), Billy Easter (bass) and Sarah Datblygu (drums), their overriding aim has been to write good songs and ‘Frauhaus!’ assures their position as an outfit who rely on substance over style. WETDOG will not be seen in a bar in Dalston pretending to like Italo Disco. Sarah will be at home, crying and listening to Morrissey. Rivka farms a tortoise and chickens in the Kent countryside. Billy lives in Arsenal and likes lego. Together, they form a triad of female energy vibes not seen since Wilson Phillips.
Amidst the wave of female bands emerging in the US and UK at the moment – see Trash Kit, Plug, Vivian Girls, New Bloods etc – WETDOG stand clear and strong. The band have an affinity with Welsh genius, counting Datblygu and Euros Childs amongst their influences (there are hints of pastoral climes in the melodies), but The Wicker Man, Micachu, Syd Barrett and Robert Crumb are just as likely to feature in any album-related discussions.
