The Dogs were formed in Rouen (Normandie) in 1973 around Dominique Laboubée (vocals, guitars), Paul Peschenaert (guitars), François Camuzeaux (bass), and Michel Gross (drums). At first, the band could have been filed under pub rock for its set lists comprised of many covers, from <a href="spotify:artist:1nJvji2KIlWSseXRSlNYsC">the Velvet Underground</a> to <a href="spotify:artist:3yesh1QeNXucaDFw8ZPKxd">the Flamin' Groovies</a>. But they quickly came up with some English-sung original material, mainly inspired by their British and American peers, from <a href="spotify:artist:3yesh1QeNXucaDFw8ZPKxd">the Flamin' Groovies</a> to <a href="spotify:artist:25IRTisJjqI6JlkyCVMBsV">Dr. Feelgood</a>. Like locals <a href="spotify:artist:4M6D1qeaVOmprO5Ga7NAPe">Little Bob Story</a>, they were something way more than just a regional phenomenon, and despite an unsuccessful commercial career, the Dogs left a considerable legacy with the release of their two most famous LPs: 1979's Different and 1982's Too Much Class for the Neighbourhood. The constant support of France's veteran music magazine Rock & Folk wasn't enough to make the Dogs explode to a larger scale, but they remain a treasured cult band for many, especially since their definitive end with singer Dominique Laboubée's death in 2002, at the early age of 45. ~ Olivier Duboc, Rovi
