For more than fifty years, Pavlov's Dog, led by the inimitable David Surkamp, have occupied a singular place in rock history. Their 1975 debut, Pampered Menial, defied every expectation, blending progressive rock, folk and theatrical ambition into an album unlike anything before or since.
While critics and devoted fans embraced its brilliance, the band's uncompromising sound proved impossible to categorise, and they gradually drifted from the mainstream into mythology - leaving one of rock's most extraordinary voices waiting to be rediscovered.
“The whole band is absolutely thrilling.
The passion involved in every note is astounding, and everyone is left at the end of the night with the priceless feeling of having witnessed one those rare gigs that will remain long in the memory.”
