Now, on to the bio.......
Dog Latin was formed by ex-Leisure Class bassist Chris, many moons ago, with Ken Hottmann on bass, Tom Riss on drums, and Chris switching over to guitar and vox. Released a notorious 12" single containing two odd Christmas songs, which were played for years by Scott Campbell on his local music show, and by David Wisdom on CBC, who played it every year, till his show ended in the early 2000s. In recent years it has gotten airplay on WDET and WMFU.
After a long hiatus, the band was reformed in 2005 with Ken on bass again, XD Wei on erhu, and Chris on acoustic guitar/vox. Played to wildly appreciative crowds, till that line-up ran it's course. Since then there has been an ever-evolving, revolving cast of musicians and other co-conspirators, with McGorey and his jarring, caustic, out-in-left-field lyrics being the common factor.
The crowds are still wildly appreciative. Apparently people still appreciate a bit of musical originality and thought-provoking lyrics.
