The day that every vinyl circles in their diary, RSD 2023 takes place on the 22nd April and the official list has now been announced. Visit the RSD website to find participating stores near you!

A lot of people have brought to our attention that the tracks on CD2 and CD3 are the same and they are both CD3.

The tracks on CD2 are actually correct, they have just been mislabelled on the Disc itself and have the same track names as CD3.

It appears that there has been an error in the track listing on Gracenote (which pulls in track information from a database) where Disc 2 has the same track names as Disc 3 but they are mislabelled, the tracks themselves on Disc 2 are correct.

We have contacted Gracenote now and asked for the track names to be updated but in the meantime, please can you check that the tracks on Disc 2 are correct despite the mislabelling.

Dog Trumpet, one of Australia’s most unique bands is about to go global with Demon Music.  After thirty years of performing and recording, all seven albums will be available on vinyl for the first time and remastered for digital release. https://smarturl.it/DogTrumpetDigital

Reg Mombassa and his brother Peter O’Doherty began their musical careers playing and writing in the ARIA Hall of Fame inductees band Mental As Anything. The Mentals had 20 songs in the top 40 (a record for an Australian band) and a global hit with ‘Live It Up’ that only last Christmas hit #1 on manyUK charts.

In 2000, Reg and Pete split from the Mentals to pursue their own sound. Describing what that is can be tricky – an eclectic blend of rock, psychedelic folk and semi-abstract blues; whimsical, political, curious, intimate, scientific, erotic and witty.  They are part of a long tradition of left-field song writers and storytellers relative to the canon of work by such acts as the Kinks, Nick Lowe, Squeeze and John Prine.

The Sydney Morning Herald said: “Brothers Peter O’Doherty and Reg Mombassa can’t help themselves. The charm oozes from the lyrics, the singing and the instantly appealing melodies. Part of it is down to the absence of posturing, part to the way the catchiness of pop is anchored to earthy grooves.”

Dog Trumpet have released seven albums so far. Produced by Peter and written by both of them. The title of the first one ‘Two Heads One Brain’ sums them up, the brothers having an intuitive melodic connection that infuses their music with a classic timelessness.  

Peter and Reg are also visual artists.  Reg is one of Australia’s most recognised artists well known for his work for the Mambo label, along with graphics, posters, album covers and many decades of fine art. Peter’s fine art painting focuses on the urban and suburban built environment and is equally well regarded.

Dog Trumpet have toured extensively throughout Australia, and a little bit across the US, culminating at SXSW a few years ago.  Demon Music recently approached Dog Trumpet about releasing their back catalogue internationally.  The Demon label was started by Jake Riviera and Elvis Costello who later produced the Mentals single ‘I Didn’t Mean to be Mean’.

Demon Music is known as one of the best catalogue/reissue labels in the world releasing specialist BBC titles and focusing on niche and cult bands.  Digital release on all platforms is 16th July 2021, vinyl release is 29th October 2021.  

Dog Trumpet’s seven albums are; Two Heads One Brain, Suitcase, Dog Trumpet (self titled), Antisocial Tendencies, River of Flowers, Medicated Spirits and their latest Great South Road.
