The Chill Room, September 18, 2009, 11pm PST

192k, 42 minutes. A special on Wet Dog.

Seeking the opposite of excess, here is minimalism in the form of a contemporary British avant-punk trio of stabbing staccato guitar, mighty thick slabs of bass and teetering, crashing drums with complex vocals and terrific voice. This is Wet Dog, a band you'll want to know.

The current lineup is Rivka Gillieron on vocals and guitar, Billy Easter on bass, and Sarah Datblygu on drums, though Sophie Politowicz plays bass on many of these tracks.

All performances by Wet Dog: Steal a Car / Send a Delegate / Zah und Zaheet / I Can't Say It / Train Track / Train Track (live at 12-Bar) / Nancy Riley / Eight Days / Alibi / Alibi (session) / Stumpy Torso / Counter (session) / How Sweet The Sound (new song) / Jane Bowles / Lower Leg (live) / Steal a Car (live)

from the files of Dave Parker, from the album Enterprise Reversal (Angular Recording Corporation), from Resonance and XFM radio sessions, one track from the new album, and their myspace page.

Special thanks to Dave Parker for sharing this marvelous band with me, to Rivka for "How Sweet to Go" and for being great, to my listeners for their encouragement.

Comments are much appreciated.
