EL PERRO DEL MAR
elperrodelmar.com
I used to collect autographs from bands that I love in the 90s, but ultimately gave that up when I got older... mostly because I would leave for home right after a show or it was too much of a hassle trying to meet the artist (some musicians don't make it easy!).
Anyway, I caught El Perro Del Mar (real name Sarah Assbring) at the Cedar Cultural Center on 07 March 2007 and I loved her self-titled debut album that I had her sign my copy of her 12" record (see photo of the autograph).
I was also moved by her live performance and noted that she even had tears in her eyes during "I Can't Talk About It" (which I speculated was because the song was so emotional or personal to her).
So... her debut album is now officially ten years old, originally released in 2005. The record is being reissued as a special 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, and I'm pretty excited about this (even though I already own the original album). For those fans in the same boat, you can also look forward to ten bonus tracks, demos, b-sides, and acoustic cuts... which you might already have since many of the early B-Sides were given away for free via her record label.
The 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of El Perro Del Mar comes out next week, February 17th via the Control Group. Before you get too excited, I tried looking it online for USA store (Amazon), the Deluxe Album is not listed... so this may be an import-only record.
As a preview, the new Deluxe Edition, the label released "Do The Dog" for streaming, which El Perro Del Mar commented was the genesis of writing her debut album, “I was obsessed with old school reggae and dancehall around this time and after having recorded those first songs I wanted to do something that kind of took the edge off, or almost ridiculed that serious mood that I'd found myself in while writing the album.”
Also as a special 'dog' bonus, El Perro Del Mar translate from Spanish to 'The Dog of Sea'.

DOGHEART
dogheartband.com
Speaking of next week, February 17th will see the release of What Burns The Best from Dogheart. The record was a result of a successful Kickstarter campaign to raise over $7k to record and press the album.... pretty impressive considering that the band is only slightly about a year old (having only formed in early 2014.)
I believe the band is a trio Matt Jenkins (guitar, vocals), Cameron Hering (drums), and Gray Hildreth (bass), but I've seen some photos of four people in the band.
As for the Dogheart name, this was from singer Jenkins, who suggested that the name can be a selfish creature... or a loving being.
