The Sheepdogs - Coachella 2012

This rock group from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada(somewhere north of Montana to give you an idea) focuses on melody, harmony, guitar solos and general feel-goodery. Comprised of Ewan Currie(Guitar and Vocals), Leot Hanson (Guitar), Ryan Gullen(Bass and Backing Vocals), Sam Corbett(Drums and Backing Vocals); these rockers pull their influence from 60's and 70's rock. They really have that old timey heavy guitar rock sound down, some nice riffs and a solid melody. The vocals aren't lacking either. Something similar to The Black Keys actually, they just don't have the discography to compete or the amount of good songs, but with three albums and an EP they are gathering momentum. Formed in 2005, they have had time to realize what makes a live performance good, and judging from youtube videos I think they have it figured out. Expect a good rock show while you sip the first beer of friday.








They also have some great inspired by iconic rock song songs! check out
