StrayDogCafe

Stray Dog Cafe hail from the Northwest of England. Their unique approach to noise (aka 'Minimal-Dirt-Rock') leaving audiences entertained and bewildered in equal measure.



Drawing from the deep well of guitar music that has gone before reviewers have name dropped McClusky, Shellac, The Fall, Country Teasers and Truman's Water in an attempt to define what it is exactly that Stray Dog Cafe do.



The Minimal Dirt Rock Manifesto is the only comment the band will make.



Minimal - Because less is more!

Dirt - Because raw is better!

Rock - As in 'designed to wow'!'



Fat, incessant bass lines coupled with scathing, scratchy guitar riffs and complex jazz-rhythmic drumming have earned them a reputation as one of the best live bands in Manchester's underground scene.



Stray Dog Cafe have played with Part Chimp, James Chance, Oxes, Silver Apples, Blood Red Shoes and Youth Movies.



The release of a 7" vinyl single in 2007 (Maxamillion/THEME: from Warlock) got them a mention in WIRE magazine 280. and the album THE EXPERIMENT REQUIRES YOU TO CONTINUE is now available through UBiK records.
