 Dr. Dog with special guest The Growlers
Saturday, February 13, 2010 @ 8:00 PM: The State Theatre
Cost: $19
FATE is the record Dr. Dog was destined to make, a timeless yet contemporary distillation of the band’s open-armed, big-hearted sound taken to new heights of craft and creativity. Dr. Dog bonded FATE with the sound of one of the album’s most frequent lyrical symbols, the train. A romantic, distinctly American metaphor, the railroad ties the songs together, spanning the many parallels in the process in which Dr. Dog was immersed. They viewed themselves as hard-working craftsmen, delighted in the homonymy of the railroad and recorded tracks. Most significantly, it seemed an ideal physical manifestation of fate itself. Forward-thinking but reflective, searching yet remarkably confident, FATE is the work of an extraordinary band operating full steam ahead and perhaps, inevitably. Dr. Dog has always trod its own analogous path, a band of outsiders from the start, now more than ever holding true to its own inimitable place in the universe.
