About Dogs In A Pile:
Something organic has been blooming from Asbury Park, New Jersey, and is now making its way around the world. Dogs In A Pile, aband of five twenty somethings with old souls and limitless chops, is waking people up to the timeless and ineffable joys ofpsychedelic-tinged jazz-funk rock n’ roll.
This is one of the busiest touring bands of today, averaging 130 live shows per year since 2022. The road has become their creativeengine, generating a rapidly growing catalog of original tunes. Distroid, the band’s newest album, is a 10-song collection featuringlong-awaited studio versions of some of the Dogs’ most beloved repertoire.
Dogs In A Pile is guitarist Jimmy Law, guitarist Brian Murray, keyboardist Jeremy Kaplan, bassist Sam Lucid, and drummer Joe Babick.In addition, the Dogs In A Pile community includes the Dog Pound, the group’s extended family of fans across the country.
Besides being a lyric from the Grateful Dead song, “He’s Gone,” the name “Dogs In A Pile” is an apt description of the five-pieceband’s stylistic breadth. The sonic image it conjures is a heap of storyteller Americana, bluegrass, jazz improvisation, eccentricinstrumental excursions, pop-rock sophistication, and deep-pocket grooves, ranging from funk to Latin to reggae and beyond.
Distroid features material that has already become staples of the band’s live show. These studio renditions have afforded the groupa chance to present the compositions just how they envision them. Distroid offers a cross-section of the Dogs In A Pile essence, tightand tuneful four-minute funk and jazz informed psych-rock songs, and then sprawling 15-minute compositions with intricate unisonlines, agile genre-jumping, and dazzling improvisation.
