Dog & Sky - Lhasa Express
Dog & Sky is a Norwegian band fronted by the American singer-song writer Matt Burt. Matt collaborated with Motorpsycho on Demon Box & Blizzard. Susanna and the Magical Orchestra covered one of his early songs, These Days, on their last album titled Melody Mountain.
If you cooked together Jack Kerouac, Sonic Youth, Neil Young and finished it off with a hot cup of coffee and piece of rhubarb pie…
Dog & Sky is a band for people who place a premium on lyrics you can chew on. And the music is damn straight — no hiding.
The vocals are not for the faint-of-heart, so if you want pretty boy singing — stay home and play with your hamster.
Vigdis Sjelmo brings energy tempered with discipline to the drums. Michael Duch’s trademark bass sound speaks grown-up punk. Truls Lorentzen knows his guitar so well that he has nothing to prove (the beginnings of genuine generosity). Eirik Hegdal’s unsaxy saxophone means air strike improvisation, the intelligent kind.
Check ‘em out. (And don’t forget the part about the hamster.)
P.S.
And to all you jelly haired 20-year-old-something arrogance painted over your insecurity Oslo booking pricks — F YOU ONE AND ALL.

One of the most interesting and original bands to emerge from this genre in the last 10 years.
A kind of Kraftwerk goes human…
” A rich voice drifts and hovers…tomorrow’s setting sun, with room to change it’s mind. A sort of bird shadow disco— a correction in direction, as in boats, as in navigation, as in the authentic..BC, the darkness beyond the headlights “
