Formed in 1988, The Tattooed Love Dogs scorched the Sacramento music scene with their country-tinged rock, long before terms like "alt-americana" were coined.
Lords of the local live music scene, they also toured the West Coast to Austin circuit, opening for legends Leon Russell and Steppenwolf, and sharing the stage with bands Rage Against The Machine and Cypress Hill in "Big Top Loco." SAMMIE (Sacramento Area Music) AWARD HALL OF FAMERS (3 time winners; Twice in ROCK, Once in COUNTRY)
They finally hung up their spurs in 2001, and things have never been the same...
Until now. After a special "5 year reunion" show in September 2006, the flame is once again burning. Original members Mike Blanchard, Vince Montoya, Scott George and Larry Schiavone, along with new bassist Ryan "Whiskey Pills" Blanchard and David Van Dusen (Seventy) ..s, TLD are back for a little more. How long? Only time will tell, but the tunes sound as fresh as ever and we're having fun!
we promise to pull original bassist peter gandesbery down from aslhand - for a show sometime in the near future....
