They popped up on Spotify while listening to Zodiac Mindwarp. Any fan? Discuss.
I just started listening to their catalog, but here are a couple songs that stood out.

Think their basically the same as the London Quireboys. Could be wrong. Pretty sure they are more or less interchangeable. At least I've always heard that.

Whatever Gerri Miller loved I loved
Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"

Massive fan, first saw them in '88. Not quite as party-oriented as the Quireboys, they're a lot darker in subject matter and tone. In their day they were one of the greatest live acts around, and the run of albums from In The Dynamite Jet Saloon to More Unchartered Heights Of Disgrace is incredible.

Re: How have I missed The Dogs D’Amour all these years??
Most all Dogs albums are great, esp the early stuff. Dynamite is a classic start to finish. Tyla’s early solo stuff is also great. Some point he started making too many albums and the quality suffered.
Highly recommend checking out Tyla and Spikes album Flagrantly Yours, amazing album.
Was lucky enough to see them in San Antonio back when Dynamite came out. Pariah opened and they got us into the show because it was 21+ and we were only 18 or 19. Bam was an absolute maniac and had kind of scars/scratches all over his chest.

I hated them at first but love them now.
Re: How have I missed The Dogs D’Amour all these years??
I love, love, love the Dogs, I was playing some last weekend. Alas I never got to see them live though I did see Tyla solo in the early 00s and Bam was superb in the early Wildhearts.LeeRatbag wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2024 5:50 pm Massive fan, first saw them in '88.

I'd include The (Un)Authorised Bootleg album - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkLx888 ... g8&index=2 - the sound quality ain't the best (hence the title) but the songs are definitely there.
And - in my opinion - their creative masterpiece was the acoustic Graveyard of Empty Bottles mini-album - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KoRYdkMt18. Tyla re-recorded it in 2019 but it's a pale imitation.

Re: How have I missed The Dogs D’Amour all these years??
I’m a huge fan.
Tyla from the Dogs actually made a record with Spike from the Quireboys (and - BTW - no, they aren’t “interchangeable”).
Here’s a track:

Also check out albums by Dave Kusworth and the Bounty Hunters/Jacobites, original Dogs member who left to do his own thing.
Gunfire Dance are worth your time as well, same part of the world, Birmingham UK.

I have that Bounty Hunters on vinyl. Guessing that is pretty rare, wonder if it is worth anything.Whatever Happened To… wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 2:16 am Also check out albums by Dave Kusworth and the Bounty Hunters/Jacobites, original Dogs member who left to do his own thing.

Re: How have I missed The Dogs D’Amour all these years??
I had never heard of The Bounty Hunters/Jacobites, but they remind me of Gene Loves Jezebel (Jay fronted, more rock version) albums 1993 Heavenly Bodies, and 1999 VII.
Re: How have I missed The Dogs D’Amour all these years??
Heard of them, but don't think I have listened to anything.
Checked out the songs OP linked....and they are actually really good.
I'm not the biggest Quierboys fan, so was skeptical at first, but I really enjoyed the tunes. I hear a lot of Electric Angels in there.
Gonna check out more for sure

Quireboys LIVE are awesome, records don't capture "it".
Dogs are incredible and the songwriting is next level. The songs are bit more timeless in that sense.
Spike is killer live.
