Phactfile
llory Weller answers those crucial queries.
I flame? Mcgadog. I Age? Been around in various guises since 1985 when they held pysehedelic rock gigs as Club Dog.
I Occupation? fix-hippies turned providers of an alternative. spiritual. New Age. 90s ambient-techno festi- club crossover vibe.
I Eh? You heard.
I So, a load of old crusty long-hairs on acid then? Au contraire. my friend. I So, less dog-on-a-string, more handbag-on-a-gold chain then? They've come a long way since the inevitable dog-on-a-string jokes.
I Says Who? Says a whole host of celebrity DJs who‘ve been so impressed by the Megadog experience that they've offered their services for the forthcoming Sabre Tooth Dog Tour. I The what? It's one of the most ambitious and exciting tours of the year (apparently) w ith the combined talents of Sabrettes. Emissions Audio Output and Megadog on show. plus special guest appearances from the likes of Andy Weatherall. Mr C. CJ Bolland and Carl Cox.
I Whoah, hold on a minute, not Carl ‘l’ve just been voted the world’s best DJ by the readers of dance music bible M (Ir/Hug (.‘ox'.’ Yup.
I Surely not, he wouldn’t have anything to do with those nasty hippies would be? Well. you wouldn't have thought so but Mr Cox recently played at Decadog and was apparently astounded by the whole experience.
I Yeah, I bet he was, all those naked hippies, all that bad acid . . . Wrong again. I'm afraid. He thought the whole thing was so professional and so well— organised that he agreed to do some more dates.
I Sounds too good to be true. Well. maybe it’s time to bury the hatchet wilh the Megadog people and lay all those ill-founded ‘they must be crusty" misconceptions to rest then.
I Why should I? Cos they‘re making an effort to move on and so should you. you sad old bigot.
I Steady on, mate, they‘re only hippies, not worth arguing about. Give it a rest. this is I995 and it's time to
I But, the whole thing‘s so wierd, it’s just not the same, it’s just different . . . Get a life tosser.
