DOG TRUMPET
Is
REG MOMBASSA
and
PETER O'DOHERTY
Dog Trumpet has a NEW double (2CD) album due on August 12th, 2013. It is called Medicated Spirits. You can purchase it through their website HERE.
Why should you care?
Here are 10 very valid reasons:
- Because Dog Trumpet features two enormously talented singer/songwriters who also happen to be two of Australia's finest artists.
- Reg did the artwork for PiL's Greatest Hits album!
- For 20+ years, Reg and Peter used to be members of one of Australia's finest Pop combos, MENTAL AS ANYTHING.
- Mental As Anything did THIS song (btw, that's Reg on slide guitar and Peter on bass):
- Reg and Peter are brothers.
- Reg Mombassa is one of the coolest names in Rock. But alas, it is not his real name. I reckon those who have known him since he was a wee lad probably still call him Chris O'Doherty.
- Peter O'Doherty is NOT Pete Doherty, the drug addicted dickhead from The Libertines and Babyshambles. Peter O'Doherty is the melodically-gifted basshead from Dog Trumpet. And formerly of Mental As Anything.
- Dog Trumpet has already released five albums:
Two Heads One Brain (1991)
Suitcase (1996)
Dog Trumpet (2002)
Antisocial Tendencies (2007)
River Of Flowers (2010)
- Their 2013 release, Medicated Spirits, is a double album (on two CDs). Not many bands have enough quality material for one album, let alone a double.
- Dog Trumpet has released some amazing material in their 20+ year career. Including songs such as these:
So, what are you waiting for? Time to head over to www.dogtrumpet.com and order Medicated Spirits.
