Featured in this space two years ago, The D.O.O.D. grew musically, shrank physically and rearranged its lineup. The former six-piece (now five) plays sans keyboards, clarifying a hefty two-guitar sound recently rounded-out by new man Renehan. Another solidifying element is a consistent foundation laid down by nine-month-member, drummer Jerry Sullivan (of now-defunct Mind Machine). Deana Lawrence (Deana Doll Designs Management Group) also aids the collective now. She garnered a spot for it on a RatPack Records compilation CD, for example, and snagged an opening spot for nationals Cold, thereby allowing members more creative time. Given that, The D.O.O.D.'s cranked for a new recording; it is scouting studios for a three-song EP release to coincide with a September showcase.
Quote: "We all know that there's problems in this world and we have to take care of it without taking, you know, a violent step," Stockton says. "And that's our idea of 'The Distinguished Order of Disobedience': distinguished people who take their stand against ... the wrongs of the world."
