Details:
When MuchMusic''s "New Music Show" ran a segment about Blue Dog Pict, one of Toronto''s most engaging and controversial live acts, they noted that some called Blue Dog Pict a CULT, others still a CULTURE. One thing was for sure; this was a band worth paying attention to - they meant what they did, ensuring that every show was a real life experience, with fans dressing up to fit the theme of the event and even helping to transform venues into immersive environments!
The band released its second album "Anxiety of Influence: a nodding into...?" in September of 1993. This recording took close to two years to complete and embodies the intricate nature of the band''s production. At one point three Marshall amps were placed in a 1400 foot concrete basement and six microphones were set up along its length to create the massive guitar sound affectionately dubbed "DOOM". (And this was before any shoot ''em up shareware games...)
Constant Change, the indie label created by BDP''s founder Keram Malicki-Sanchez, joined forces with DISTRIBUTION FUSION III from Montreal, and the album "Anxiety of Influence" was re-released nationally. The band''s debut video "Tainted" premiered in September 1994 at a well known Queen Street Toronto club to a crowd which well exceeded fire safety numbers. "Natureboy" the BDP-speak newsletter had warmed up to this event for nearly four years.
May 1995, MuchMusic, Canada''s national equivalent to MTV, received the biggest request in its ten-year history for any video, and that was...Tainted. Sixteen feet high and fourteen feet wide, the neon pink banner displayed well over three hundred signatures compiled by fans of the band who were tired of seeing their culture overlooked. A nation of music lovers can attest to having witnessed the depth of Blue Dog Pict''s bond with its circle. It is became a way of life for the ever expanding circle of creatives who enjoyed the sense of community Blue Dog Pict afforded, this community came to be known as Sky Pirates.
This extraordinary album, two years in the making, also features gospel singer Jackie Richardson, vocalists Kathryn Rose and Joanna Schellenberg and world-champion harmonica player Carlos del Junco. This album also comprises the only release that included all five members of Blue Dog Pict at the same time:
Keram Malicki-Sanchez - vocals, guitars, keyboards, programming
Keith White - vocals, bass guitar
Danny Kovacevic - vocals, lead guitar
Peter Devlin - lead and rhythm guitar
Jeff Hayward - drums and percussion
Produced by Mario Marengo, David Buchanan, Keram Malicki-Sanchez and Josh Miles Joudrie
Highly recommended for listening with headphones in the dark.
