KAT011: The Ho'Dogs - Oral Tradition (CD Album)

Dunedin garage metal misfits from the late 90s,their one and only album after a number of cassettes and a shared 7" with Invercargill's Hounds of Zaroff. Take Guitar Wolf, Slayer, Kiss, the Stooges and the Sonics and numerous more lo-fi rock influences and ya get the melting pot from which this southern 5-headed beast sprung forth...a singer who smeared himself and audience members with vaseline, guitarists launching themselves from tables and bar counters, broken ankles, electrocution-threatening antics involving swimming pools....the myths multiply with the passing years...suffice to say these guys were "thee" live rok act in Dunedin fer several years...a revolving membership of guitarists and drummers...but always the same fast crazed sonic approach...captured at Paddy Moran's Tailgaiter Studios down in the wharf and warehouse part of town...a slab fer both metal munters and garage creeps...
