Oki Dog

Oki Dog invented themselves by accident a while ago and are a) very close, b) very shambolic (in a tight-as-rude-things sort of way, though), and c) very shouty. They make shouty music to shout to, with shouty guitars, shouty rhythms and ever so shouty vocal - “Why don’t you eat me baby? I taste like Lychee honey” becomes the band’s motto. Oki Dog do smash-and-grab ditties to ram raid East end boutiques to, with evil glint in eye and pointy scuffed shoe aimed at groin. In other words, they are much fun - so much fun that they even played in a REAL toilet in London Fashion Week.

And it seemed like luck’s been on their side. Over 40 shambolic gigs were played with violent whip action; outrageous songs were written that wet a lot of pants. Soon, they found themselves played alongside TheD4 and they had only two rehearsals. “It’s all about live music and energy,” Grace adds. Since, the dogs have enjoyed mayhem with Neil’s Children, Nic Armstrong, Mikabomb, The Rocks, Martini Henry Rifles, Crack Village, Electric Eel Shock, Oceansize, Milk Teeth, thisGIRL, Ludes and the Roolettes.

Oki Dog is the brutal bitch.
