“These are solid gold indie pop songs ornamented with real precision and flair” (The Guardian)

“Main stage stars-in-waiting” (NME)

These youngsters from Britain's Nottingham steal your indie-pop heart Robin Hood style with their debut ‘All Our Favourite Stories’ that bursts with poppy, sing-along songs with a jazzy twist here and there. They describe it themselves as “an original blend of harmonious, indie-pop in the disco, with a cheeky jazz hint” or as "uplifting pop for jazz junkies and choir folk".

In ’10 the five from Dog Is Dead came peeping around the Britpop corner with first single ‘Glockenspiel Song’- including catchy sax-riff! They played themselves into the spots at Glastonbury’s BBC Introducing Stage and as support act to OK Go with it. Picked up by Atlantis Records (Warner Music) they steamed on through Britain's hinterland as support to Morning Parade and Bombay Bicycle Club.

This summer they even ventured the crossing, in the direction of the Marquee at Pukkelpop, where they played an extremely infectious set for the early birds. Summery, danceable rhythms as antidote to the sometimes melancholy song parts and heavenly vocal harmonies coupled with a British tongue-in-cheek flair… That's what awaits us in the AB Club during Dog Is Dead’s first headline tour in Europe.

The British clubs already go topsy turvy when this indie-pop force passes through so let's do the same – hospitable as we are – when they visit us.

Support Robbing Millions

Farm-fresh fodder from Brussels that surfs along on the psychedelica-revival inundating indie blogs with bands like Jacco Gardner, Bed Rugs (both in AB on Sunday 12 May), Allah-Las, Unknow Mortal Orchestra and Foxygen. The very impressive ‘Ages And Sun’ debut EP is played non-stop here and you should do the same. This is one you'll later be able to say “I was there in AB, way back then!” about.
