Quick update!

2010-02-03T05:12:00.000-08:00

After a start hampered by crap weather ( read snow & ice) we're finally getting back in stride & this year looks to be another blinding one for the band!

Last friday we ROCKED & I mean ROCKED the Polar Bear in Hull, what a buzz with the whole place dancing & singing along...... present in the audience was a very talented guy by the name of TOM RITCHIE who is hotly tipped to be the next big thing to come out of our region. Tom's an amazing singer/songwriter with interest from several major record labels & Bad Dog's very own Steph & myself have been fortunate enough to have been working with Tom on his soon to be released e.p. Look for Tom on myspace music! You heard it here first!

See you out there!

FRI 13TH!!

2009-11-19T16:26:00.000-08:00

WE are not superstitious but........ over the fri 13th weekend we suffered a series of catastrophies that we could only put down to the gremlins of fri 13th!! How about a rougue mic lead with a mind of it's own, a lady fainting in the front row, and yours truly getting a cast iron mic stand base dropped on me tootsies? Steph & Andy got a puncture to add to the list!

Still, in true rock & roll style, we pulled through to deliver blinding sets at both The Highway & The Red Hawk!

This weekend sees us in action at a private function Fri 20th & back at The Hare & Hounds on Sat 21st. Hope to see you there!

So what are we gonna do with our weekend off??

2009-11-02T02:01:00.000-08:00

WELL! Steph & Andy sloped off for a "romantic" weekend in The Emerald Isle, whilst Mark headed across the bridge to see Kevin bloody Wilson... Mike most likely spent time with the family. As for myself, I spent time celebrating another halloween birthday with family & close friends, fiddled with some new bass rack gear & rocked out to the awesome sound of Limehouse Lizzy. Was great to chat to JT & Wayne, cheers lads you never dissapoint! Benny Boy

And saturday we graced the stage again at the Polar Bear in Hull. It was great to see some of our friends & fans turn out as usual, including my crazy mate Eddo...... Legend! Here he is -

2009-06-23T14:00:00.000-07:00

LEGENDARY session bass player Guy Pratt! A top bloke , very witty & entertaining storys of life on the road. Yours truly & good pal Sam went along to PMT MUSIC in Leeds last week to see Guy & get a signed copy of his book "My bass & other Animals." I'm halfway through it & lovin' every minute of it. Guys credits include, amongst many many others, Pink Floyd, Dave Gilmore, Roxy Music, Bowie, Madonna & the list goes on & on.

FYP 09 The weekend that was!

2009-06-22T12:44:00.000-07:00

Fresh (or quite frankly) un-fresh back from the Farmyard Party in lovely Helmsley my pooch bounced up to greet me & promptly turned his snout up! It seems after a couple of nights under canvas on a muddy field I actually smelled worse than he bloody did.......the cheek! Still it was a heck of a rock n roll party for us little lot....

I got myself some new leathers from Ali (innit!) at City of Leather which I'm gonna save especially for bike rally gigs! Ali, if you're reading this mate we are still interested in doing some promo for ya...

The weather wasn't great, in fact it was ferkin' crap... but that didn't seem to matter once we took to the huge stage in the big top. Let me know if you spot yourselves on any of our pics as it's always good to put names to faces!

Steph's mid set cossie change went smoothly while me & andy rocked out centre stage, gods of rock that we are! Nice to catch up with friends of the band from home & abroad, HD, Sarah & Peter to name but a few

Check this blog soon for piccys from the rally

THREE shows in 4 days......... weds City Hall, fri we filled The Sun Inn Beverley to the rafters & last night we layed the smack down at the Roman Bath in York! What a cracking venue that is for live music, right in the middle of historic York. We had 'em singing & dancing right from the off, with Steph in fine voice & the boys tight as a nats chuff.... Hopefully we gave 'em a show to remember, if the number of people asking for business cards afterwards was anything to go by...

Andy & Steph made my night by presenting me with a superb framed shot of me in action at The City Hall which I'm really proud of if I do say so me self. Cheers guys

WHAT'S NEXT? Bad Dog return to the stage at one of our fave venues this friday night at The Sun Inn at Beverley, show starts about 9pm & it's always a full house so get there early if you're coming along.......

Saturday night sees us heading down the road to York to rock The Roman Baths for the first time. Hopefully we'll make some new friends & fans there! Steph has promised to give her new outfit an airing this weekend, and let me tell ya it's a bit special! Think Tina Turner in Thunderdome & you'll be right on the money.

Sonically yours............ Lazz

And the winner is.......

2009-05-21T06:47:00.000-07:00

........unfortunately not us! Beaten in to 2nd place by 1 point according to event organizer Liz, local rock outfit Dirty Wish fronted by Damian Balthazar took the top spot in the Hull Daily Mail Talent Trail 2009. Well done boys we wish you every success for the future!

Still, 2nd place & £750 for our troubles ain't too shabby and it was a real pleasure to rock it up on the big stage in front of 1200 heads! The fact that bands came first & second was a real coup for live music in a sea of solo artists using pre-recorded backing. My prediction is that next years event will be awash with bands, we'll see......

The good news is that Andy's phone has already started ringing with agents/bookers etc so the chances are we will go from strength to strength.

HOT OFF THE PRESS!

2009-04-25T05:27:00.000-07:00

WE'RE in the semis! Thursday night saw us unanimously win the final heat of the Hull Daily Mail Talent Trail 2009 at the Dene Park Sports Club. I for one am gonna hold my hand up & say I was pretty blase about the whole shebang.......that was until I'd seen the competition! With only the top 2 acts from 8 going through, we all thought we'd crapped out as there were 2 or 3 superb acts. I mean the young girl with the operatic voice was astounding!!

We think our semi final is again Dene Park on Tues 5th May, when we are going to have to pull out all the stops, if we have any chance to get ourselves into the final at the Hull City Hall May 20th. Rock on!

Big thanks go out to my good mate Simon Stevens for offering to get behind the kit for us as Mike had a prior committment. Cheers Si, you done us proud me old china!

Mike's Bands

Leeds Festival 05

Mike has been behind the kit with lots of bands over the years including the original outfit The Last People on Earth who are on the verge of breaking through to the big time... I saw 'em at The Sesh in Hull & was mightily impressed. Good luck boys!

Ok, so this is the 90's, times have changed, the Chippendales are huge & Benny Boy has realised that ditching the bass guitar in favour of prancing around in various states of undress can pay him a few more dollars... Housequake remain one of the busiest & best showgroups on the circuit.

This crazy guy had come all the way from Rio to MUCKY MURPHY'S just to see one of our shows.......ok he was in the area visiting friends anyway, but he's now officially a BAD DOG fan, and was REALLY enthusiastic about Steph! He also loved the music and wanted more more more!

Goes to show, we reach the parts other bands fail to reach ;-) We will be back at MURPHY'S rockin the house FRI MAY 1ST

UP NEXT!

JUST to keep you rock fans in the loop....... don't go to the Highway in Hull this fri expecting to see us because they've cancelled the show at their end grrrrrr. "But we think you're great" they said......go figure! Anyways suffice to say we will be back there Fri July 31st.

This forthcoming Saturday will see us back in action at Burton Pidsea Village Hall.. Tickets should be available from the venue & I am reliably informed there are roadside signs in the surrounding villages. Be there!

Yours Truly

Easter weekend shows

2009-04-13T10:02:00.000-07:00

We had 2 great gigs this weekend kicking off with Thursday night at the Sportsman in Hull... Went down great as usual but unfortunately for us we were booked to play the UPSTAIRS function room! Jeez, carrying the gear upstairs before the gig is bad enough, but lugging it downstairs at the end of a hard rockin' night is a MOTHER! However, we had a lovely message from landlady Pam saying what a great night they'd had.....sweet!

Friday night was a night off, think Andy went off on his Goldwing (now fitted with sound system- woo hoo!) to a bike rally whilst yours truly couldn't get off the sofa after tweaking a muscle lifting the gear out of the Sportsman....rock & bloody roll!

Saturday night saw us back on the road to Doncaster to a club in Bentley, trouble was, there was two clubs in Bentley with similar names & half of us arrived at the right venue while the other half of the band enthusiastically loaded the gear in at the wrong venue......ooops. Never mind we went on to have a storming night with Steph in fine voice & me sporting my new stage attire, & ended up being asked to go back for New Years Eve. Result!!

Our favourite venues- part 1

2009-04-13T09:28:00.000-07:00

Over the course of a year we get to play so many different types of venue, but there's always a few that we particularly like! Why? Well, could be a variety of reasons.... a great stage, a great crowd, free beer, good lookin' bar maids....well you get the picture! One of these great venues for us has to be The Sun Inn at Beverley. They love us there and we rock it hard every time to a full house. Here's a few piccys from the Sun Inn and we'll see ya there Fri May 22nd
