J Geils Band Love Stinks CD

Over its six-year tenure, Blue Dog Pict came to be known as one of Toronto's most engaging, controversial and exciting acts, often illiciting reverence and repulsion alike from Toronto's hard-sell audiences. When they were featured on the internationally acclaimed "New Music Show" the segment began by saying that some called Blue Dog Pict a CULT, others still a CULTURE. One thing was for sure; this was a band worth paying attention to - they meant what they did, ensuring that every show was a real life experience, not just a reasonable facsimile. This band set a pitch for the Toronto music scene that can be looked back upon as one of its golden eras. This scene also included such prolific and seminal bands as Project 9, hHead, Yet Another Posse, Plains of Fascination, Grasshopper, Lowest of the Low, Dig Circus, Suckerpunch, Anhai, The Look People, The Rheostatics, Ron Sexsmith, The Dinner Is Ruined, nc17 (now treble charger), Fancypants Hoodlum (now Peaches), The Leather Uppers, Chicken Milk (now Venus cures All) and various others.

Blue Dog Pict's founder, Keram Malicki-Sanchez, originally had plans for a solo album, but opted to develop an elaborate, experimental support group of musicians. This evolved into Blue Dog Pict. In January of 1992, the band released their debut album, "The Picture Album" which was recorded live off the floor (in two days) at the now defunct Eastern Sound. The album received high praise from college radio stations throughout Canada and the U.
