To get people partying, you need music with passion, energy, and encouragement to leap about like a distressed salmon. Cometh the hour, cometh the man… well, six men in the shape of Ferocious Dog to meet these requirements with their balls-out approach to folk punk music.
Is performing with orchestral support simply a gimmick? I understand why some may think this; we live in a cynical world, but nothing could be further from the truth. Musicians are always looking for ways to stretch themselves and continually evolve.
Attending a gig, you may always expect the band to deliver their best, but Ferocious Dog went well beyond that when they played at Nell's on Thursday night, a venue usually known for Jazz and Blues performances.
