" San Bernardino's DOG FACED GODS take alt-rock's angst-ridden minor-key modulations, metal's chugging riffs, and dashes of hip-hop, and mix the influences into a debut album that has more twists than the Pacific Coast Highway" - REVOLVER Rob O'Connor

The Vibe-SINNERS NIGHT OUT
Feb 25th w/In Silence and Dog Faced Gods....203 heads last night!
Alright so lets get to the review of the bands...starting with D.F.G
If u haven't heard about these guys,they are most well known for there single "Its not a waterpipe,its a bong"which got heavy radio play from our local stations.But should a band be defined on a particular hit?No...cuz hits can fly by night and the band can easily be forgotton.Not D.F.G. these guys are a total package band with charisma,personality,talent and a great presence onstage.First thing you notice about Dog Faced Gods is there bigger then life personas that when u come across them u feel that your with someone special.Once they hit the stage the aura that surrounds them is magnetic and even if you try and turn out the lights to set the mood,the drummer keeps thing lit up with his custom made drumkit with lights within the drum heads to keep there performance bright and in your face.I would say a good 40-50people were there upfront and in support of D.F.GBut don't hold me to those numbers cuz i didn't keep track but it was apparent when In Silence was being announced that they were on next...the whole club roared in support. - DIRTY D X 103.9

Bio
Currently, after comnig home from their fall/winter 2007 tour with Tech N9ne, Dog Faced Gods is playing regionally and locally, increasing their fan base with every step.
Not long before this, when they completed their late 2005 tour with Century Media recording artist Brand New Sin, Dog Faced Gods saw a lineup change with new guitar player Aaron Brown, and bassist William Winburn.
This foursome has an edgy, yet melodic sound with influences that range from memorable artists like Alice In Chains, Godsmack, Sevendust, and Metallica. Add in the bands own eclectic flavor of up-tempo rock and emotionally charged, down to earth ballads, and one soon realizes that there is no place Dog Faced Gods can't take their performance, whether electric or acoustic.
The title for the latest record, Spit In My Eye, believe it or not, came from a day when the band was hanging out at the reservation. Bats were flying around and one of the guys suddenly screamed out "The Bat!!! It Spit In My Eye!!!" He was serious, he actually thought the bat spit in his eye. No one knows if it actually did though.
