RELEASE DATE 1990, 1994
Tone Dogs were formed in 1987 as a collaboration between bass players Fred Chalenor, Amy Denio and recording engineer Drew Canulette. Denio & Chalenor thought a 2-bass band would be great, and began writing music together. Soon, they roped in other great musicians & friends on the recording - Matt Cameron of Soundgarden, Fred Frith and Hans Reichel from the European improvising scene, and others. Superbly recorded by Drew Canulette, this CD received a nomination to be nominated for a "Best New Recording" Grammy. The band went on to tour Europe 5 times, and to release a second CD, "the early middle years".

Bodo, this record is a killer! Since I first heart the BTMSQ, I've searched for this one (well, I finally found it in some cut-out bin - but it's great to see it here in the light of blogging day again!!!).
I'm a simple blogger myself, but with the recently disappearance of Herr K. of the Totally Fuzzy, they invited some bloggers to post on it - and of course I have linked to your very fine blog! ;)
