"The Dogs Rock Forever. They wrote their own great 1,000 mph songs, wailed out a few choice covers, reeled around with the music flashing flying V guitars, and projected the perfect us against the world barrier, courtesy of the guitarist and bassist, aided by the perfect thug drummist. I felt as if I could watch them for hours. I was knocked out by them thirty five years ago. 'Still am, because they're still playing and recording." - Heather Harris, Paraphilia Magazine 2011

A cursory online search of “The Dogs” will yield at least 20 bands who’ve used that moniker over the decades. But for disciples of high-energy Motor City rock & roll, the only Dogs that matter are the proto-punk trio from Lansing, Michigan that recorded lo-fi off-the-rails garage punk stompers soaked in swagger, sweat and tears, cranked up guitars and fist raising rock n' roll anthems. Touring the world over their storied career from playing every street corner whole in the wall, local dive, mid-sized club, and outdoor Festivals.

Formed in 1968 and consisting of guitarist/vocalist Loren Molinare, bassist Mary Kay and drummer Art Phelps later Ron Wood joined forces with the band. The Dogs played shows with their idols The Stooges and MC5 before moving to Detroit in 1973. They are noted for presaging the energy and sound of the later punk and hardcore genres. By the following year, they’d moved briefly to NYC (where they shared stages with KISS, Television and The Dictators) but ultimately set up base in L.A. and recorded two now-legendary singles. As a part of the nascent LA punk scene, however, their Detroit roots were a mixed blessing. Their sound bridged the gap between hard rock and punk, meaning they could land gigs with the Ramones as well as Van Halen and AC/DC (on the Oz band’s first US tour, no less!). The Dogs would try their luck briefly in London but returned to L.A. with their tails between their legs, kicking around in one form or another until going on hiatus in 1989. Loren devoted his attention to being a guitar-slinger with Geffen-signed hard rockers Little Caesar. The Dogs have remained on the West Coast awaking from hibernation initially for one off shows followed by years of rejuvenated writing and recording sessions along with interest from independent label reissues of their classic catalog and archives. Loren Molinare has also continued writing, recording and performing with other notable acts in the garage pop and swaggering rock n' roll scenes including Slamdinistas, Cruzados, Tony Marsico and the Ugly Thingz, as well as representing bands and artists such as The Hollywood Stars (and the ones he performs in) through his very own Plexi-Head Management Company.

Writing, recording and performing LIVE dates featuring original members Loren Molinare and Mary Kay joined by veteran drummer and lumber slinger Rob Klonel. The Dogs are officially back and UNLEASHED...

This is the real Detroit rock Ala The Stooges and MC-5 a resurgence of this Iconic three piece band.
