Live Forever (Blk) (Ofgv) (Uk) [LP]

Fronted by brothers Peter O'Doherty and Reg Mombassa, Dog Trumpet have been playing, writing and recording their music since the early 90s. Reg and Pete were founding members of iconic Australian band Mental As Anything, who hit the charts around the world with "Live It Up". The band made a mark with their left field mix of music, art, video and humour and leading eventually to ARIA awards and induction into the Hall of Fame in 2009. Dog Trumpet's new album Live Forever is the result of 2 years in the studio. For this, their ninth album, the song writing brothers Peter and Reg have brought Peter's multi instrumentalist son Declan in on drums, production and mixing duties, enhancing and expanding their sonic palette. At times psychedelic and ethereal, the album weaves together Dog Trumpet's signature acoustic and electric guitar and bass driven sound with melodic drums, synthesisers, mandolin, saxophone and added backing vocals by their touring bass player Bernie Hayes.
