DOG BUS consists of two brothers; Jules Mkools, age 17, and Jakey MkSpanky, age 11. The two formed the band in 2006 and began recording music at home in Waterloo, Ontario around the same time. Both of the brothers are multi-talented insrumentalists and songwriters. Inspired by a love of old school hip-hop and rock that they grew up with, Jules and Jakey chose to record their hip-hop material for their first, self-titled record. DOG BUS were helped with their first foray into the recording process by producer/musician and Canadian music industry veteran, Danny Michel. Lyrically, they are hilarious pranksters with attitude. The album is a blend of old school fat drum sounds and dance banger synth riffs with vocal hooks that will only be overshadowed by their live performances, which are high energy romps featuring a massive, smoke blasting robot. DOG BUS had their debut 'live' performance at the North by Northeast music festival in the summer of 2008, and the boys have been playing shows ever since, recently playing a showcase for Canadian Music Week. They have played live with Hawksley Workman and Danny Michel among others, and even had their robot stolen by The Tokyo Police Club! They were most recently featured on an episode of Much Music's Disband, spiking interest and garnering near perfect reviews from industry celebs such as Greg Nori (Treble Charger, Hedley, Sum 41), Mark Spicoluk (Underground Operations; Lights, Andrew W.K.) and Chase Parsons (Chris Smith Management; Nelly Furtado, Saukrates) with their infectious rhymes and live skillz.
