Born in the Royal Festival Hall, overcome by the raw power of Iggy Pop's 2007 Meltdown gig, a beautiful evening, and a smattering of beers... The line up includes Rob Boyd of lo-fi noiseniks Partition and his solo work with Ian Catt, and Grant Wilkinson, filmmaker, writer and recovering bass player... and then, as the clocks changed and the summer of 2007 formerly turned into autumn, Carlos Russell slipped in - born south of the Amazon, he toured the world to arrive in London in 2002, where he decided to upset the local musical scene with his bohemian drumming and a heavy support to lost causes...
Cheers! It was a fabulous night. Sorry we had to leave, or I had to leave anyway, before you came on, we had to get back down south. Hopefully play together again soon :-)
Hello Hillfields... Good gig last night - I had a nice time. Thanks to yourselves and your pals for making me feel welcome. Let's do it again sometime - I want hear those songs live again. Delightful and lots of rocking (special note for buzzsaw bass in "Down on You", haha!).
skatadeedoodabopbop... oh, hello Hillfields. I was just doing some skat for myself when you reminded me you got your gig next week. I got you booked, I am determined to come and looking forward to meeting up and seeing you play live.

"...loose, Fall-informed drunkeness to their guitar-rock approach. They shout a little, grovel in riff-dirt a little, and sound happy to hoot while they shamble." - THE WIRE
"More than pretty damn unique, interesting...and, listen up - inventive. " - Sleazegrinder
"Stray Dog Cafe aren't a band that sound like anyone of their influences - there is more than enough Stray Dog Cafe here to make this LP a fine debut in it's own right. I, for one, want to hear more bands taking this harder edge to their guitars. Highly recommended." - Indie MP3
"Noise-pop trio Stray Dog Café have an admirable range of influences and leftfield ideas…self-mocking really underplays the impressive level of imagination on board. " - Manchestermusic
