Established high powered
Sydney garage/rock/punk/funk outfit Citizen Dog - what is all the fuss?
United in musical vision, their songs reflect the neighbourhood they grew up in, the characters and experiences that define their lives and loves, and they sing of this country and a world that can both amuse and confuse them with humour, anger and reflection. Couple the grit and dirty funk of the 70s with the power of Rage Against the Machine and Helmet, the melodic smarts of Supergrass and you have an idea of the experience that is Citizen Dog.
Backing up the release of their debut album Urbanology, with the single All Good receiving high rotation on Sydneys Nova 96.9, solid play across dozens of regional stations, toured extensively Australia wide, and successful shows in New York City in 2003.
Then came the cracking new EP to present to their adoring fans. .. features four new tracks and marks a return to the bands high energy roots, proving a favourite with fans.
'The Dog' have been in pre-production and writing for the last 12 months, a new album on the slate later in 2007. With new member and long time producer and friend Nathan Johnson now a permanent fixture as guitar 2 in the band, the brotherhood of D-man, Iv, Marky Bear and Ronnie sparks an all new direction and the music has taken another evolutionary step into the great unknown.
Both albums are available through MGM at all good record stores, or visit www.456records.com

G'Day fellas! Thanks for the add, I'll agree with steve-o and say I am stoked to see you're still together. I saw you at the Annandale back in about 2003 (?) and remember it vividly. I was there to see a good mate's band that I can't remember the name of! Their music is but a distant blur, but I still have your EP in my car to this day! Thanks for the entertainment. Coming to QLD ever?
Thanks for the add guys. Pumped that you are still together, we thought you must've broken up coz we hadn't heard anything for ages. You will have to get on to Big Paul and organise some gigs in Bris coz Monkiblood is back together. Rock On, Stevo
