"We never wanted any of them ladies to get killed. But they kept on bleeding and Willie kept on stabbing, so, well, I reckon we HAD to write a song about it."
"We just hope to be an inspiration to the kids."
"If you wrote the greatest murder ballads in the world, we'd listen to you."

Philadelphia based psychedelic rockers Dr. Dog have had their share of ups in down in recent times. The group is set to kick off a whirlwind tour, from Brooklyn to Berlin, in support of their upcoming 5th full length album Fate (Park The Van). The group explains it as an "album Dr. Dog were destined to make", mainly due to the fact that the opportunity to bring new elements into their recording sessions has arisen.
Tomorrow night (Thursday, July 17), Dr. Dog will perform on Late Night With Late Night with Conan O’Brien, the group explain on their blog that for this performance, our boys won't exactly be at 100%.
Toby Leaman , known in the group as his stage name "Tables," was recently punched in the throat. While this might sound humorus to some, it was in fact a serious ordeal for the Leaman who shares in the singing duties for his group.
"We're still playing Conan. So this Thursday (That's Tomorrow), at whatever time Conan O'Brien is on in your house, just towards the end there when they squeeze in the musical guest.. that will be us, playing The Old Days from our new album. Toby will be the one not singing and trying not to look bummed."

They explained in a statement on their blog:
"Toby got punched in the throat last weekend and he is just now getting back to talking. After some cat scanning and throat poking the Doc told Toby that, while nothing is broken or cracked, he would risk more severe damage if he tries to sing too soon and strongly advised that he not sing this weekend. They gave him some drugs and told him not to talk which is maybe the only good thing to come of this mess. We're all really sorry to have to do this but we have to make some changes to the upcoming tour schedule."

Man.. sup with that? Getting punched in the throat. I think I'd be a little torqued about that. I hope he recovers soon.
real psyched to see these guys. got turned on to them by a mogger and love 'em. drag about the throat thing, but hopefully he'll continue to rock.
While back went to see them in San Fran and they sold out the place before you could even get out of the van let alone 'Park' it. I ended up missing them.
That was pretty lousy.

Gossip. I feel for the guy. No privacy. Criminally stupid. A drunk. Livin' in a fishbowl. I feel for his wife n Family.
Thank goodness he won't be dealing with an addiction to coke or smack. If a Rolling Stone can't handle hard drugs, then what hope is there for the rest of us?
It's always those 19 year old Russian waitresses isn't it?
