A search showed that Dog Fashion Disco was suggested for inclusion in 2007; however, since old threads are locked now, I will start a new thread. Here's a link to the old topic for reference:
It is quite an eclectic band that blends death metal/ rock/ screamo/ nu metal and various other styles. It's more of an experimental/ avantish metal band. It's kind of crossover and prog related in some aspects (bands which have similar traits), but I think it might well be a good addition to the Experimental/ Post Metal or Extreme Prog Metal category (damned if I know those categories that well). There are many myspace pages with music: http://searchservice.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=sitesearch.results&type=Music&qry=Dog+Fashion+Disco&submit=Search - CLICK It pays to listen to many of the samples, and I found it good to listen to various pages, because the music is quite diverse (that being one one reason why I think it good for the archives) -- rather retro pop/rock in some..

Very interesting band indeed, with a very eclectic sound. Their music could be debatable weather if it's prog or not. This band deserves a few more listens...

If it weren't so metal, it's one I would have kicked around for "art rock" appraisal. It has prog qualities, but there is definitely music of the non-prog variety, I'd say. Wish I had the Adultery album to check out. art metal crossover of the heavy eclectic variety.... I thought this page pretty good for song selections before: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=156297550 - Dog Fashion Disco - "Don't fall..." At the very least, it's Prog Related (maybe even sounds more Prog than Iron Maiden ;)). Incidentally, the avanters originally took an interest (based on description -- compared to Mr. Bungle), but it's not good for avant prog. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

I'm not a metal fan but I love the band name.

Agreed. And I think there's more of what is in bold than prog. Like I said before they need more careful listens.------------- "I've walked on water, run through fire, can't seem to feel it anymore. It was me, waiting for me..." |

That's what I meant in my first post when I said, " It's not altogether prog to these ears, but interesting, and I think worthy of addition." Worthy of addition to the archives I thought, though that may be in a prog related capacity. Perhaps I was being generous with "altogether" -- thought of editing that before or rephrasing as I meant while it's not that prog to me, it has elements/ qualities that I often associate with Prog (fusion of styles, some interesting twists, quirkiness etc.). Anyway, I knew I was pushing it a bit with this one (secret agenda: the furor over this addition may create a smokescreen for Metallica and Coltrane to get in. Just kidding, of course, as that makes no real sense). Slartibartfast: it's the name that drew my attention. I love those wacky names. :) Check out this faux dog food commercial (just popped into my head): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZUYDtF_aj8 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZUYDtF_aj8 ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

Yeah...I think prog related might be best suited for them, since I don't think their a fully prog metal band. It's just like you say: they just have some of the elements. ------------- "I've walked on water, run through fire, can't seem to feel it anymore. It was me, waiting for me..." |

Indeed they aren't a fully prog metal band -- they aren't even fully metal, let alone fully prog anything. Anyway, thanks burritounit (I just got your name -- as in a "burrito unit") -- depending on what the other Prog Metalers say, I expect they'll agree, I won't bother pushing it for PR. The PR guys have so many evaluations on their plates as it is, and I didn't even know these guys before (the name has wacky avant overtones though). I still rather think that if there were art metal subcategories, this might be considerable for one of those (a crossover one). No, none of that, "Isn't art metal contradictory?" from the wags. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

Well...no problem.Not sure what you meant with my name(Inglish is not my main language after all and even if I know a lot of inglish I still have some trouble with certain frases). Oh and my name is related to the mexican food. Anyways back to the subject, if their not fully metal as you say then with more reason they shouldn't be in porg metal. Besides their not even fully metal nor prog(just like you said). But I'll wait what others have to say.

I'd been reading your name sort of like "burn it out" as said by someone with a serious speech impediment until I suddenly saw it as two words, burrito and unit. Never examined your name that closely, but I have a tendency to, sometimes ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

I understand what mean. Sometimes I read names really fast and think their spelled in someway but when I read it carefully it says something totally different. ------------- "I've walked on water, run through fire, can't seem to feel it anymore. It was me, waiting for me..." |

Their lyrics are very, very strange. Saw them live at a local club probably 4 or 5 years ago. Really wasn't interested in meeting the band at all ...  Very pyschizo band. Kind of like a nu-metal version of Unexpect.
