Dr. Dog is an American rock band based in Philadelphia. Its lineup consists of Toby Leaman (bass), Scott McMicken (lead guitar), Frank McElroy (rhythm guitar), Zach Miller (keyboard), Eric Slick (drums), and Michael Libramento (percussion, lap steel, acoustic guitar, bass). Lead vocal duties are shared between Leaman and McMicken, and all members contribute harmonies. In addition, each band member has a nickname beginning with the letter T and they have explained that friends of the band also receive nicknames, which are drawn from aspects of their lives and personalities. (Former member Andrew "Trial" Jones, for example, is a licensed attorney.) The band's musical styling of indie rock is strongly influenced by bands of the 1960s and 1970s, such as the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and Big Star, but they have also touched upon more unrelated genres since their inception. Their earlier recordings show influence of the lo-fi sound and pop sensibilities of indie rock bands of the 1990s, including Sonic Youth, Guided by Voices, and Pavement, although recent albums have featured more polished production.
