Member Since11/17/2005
Band Websitestrawdogs.com
Band MembersDave von Beck - Vocals, guitars; Darren Smith - Guitars, vocals; Phil Hirschi - Cello, vocals; Eric Bryson - Bass; Casey Miller - Drums
InfluencesJayhawks, Ryan Adams, Son Volt, REM, Grateful Dead, Everly Brothers, Tom Petty, Simon & Garfunkle, Indigo Girls. Straw Dogs was selected to play the 8th Annual Jeff Buckley Tribute in Chicago, where they performed two songs off the new record, including "Amelia." Here is a review of the new record, "Tell the Rising Sun," from www.smother.net: "Roots-rockers Straw Dogs tell it like it is to the 'Rising Sun' or anyone within listening range. They recall the Jayhawks in their vocal department but also make sure that their twang is up a billion notches more than anyone else. Lyrically its crafty and clever yet downright real. Their music is top-notch and would be quite entertaining to see live since the guitars just wail with tone and power." Want more songs? Songs from all records are available at iTunes.

See The Staxx Brothers fresh off the Bumbershoot Fisher stage this September 13th at The Jet Bar in Mill Creek. It's gonna' be one of the biggest Saturday nights the Jet has ever seen, with Portland's funk brigade Lowenbad joining 90.7 KSER's DJ Nanino on a bill Richard Grieco calls the biggest project he's been a part of since Jump Street.

Visit The Staxx Brothers at myspace. com/thestaxxbrothers and download their debut album The 12th Street Blues for FREE for a limited time at staxxbrothers. com, before they wise up and start selling the album The Seattle P.I. calls:

". . .something distinct and genuine, a road map of a diverse musical Odyssey"

-Seattle Post Intelligencer 3.15.08

Discover Lowenbad and listen to tracks from their new album at myspace. com/lowenbad

The Sun Seekers have recorded a version of Teenage Kicks for a national radio station competition in Ireland. This song was a hit in the 70's for the punk band The Undertones who hailed from Derry in the north of the country. The recording features Derek Murray of great Irish band The Stunning on lead guitar. Listen and download it for free on The Sun Seekers myspace page.
