Oki Dog, now closed, was the "Home of the Oki Dog" (a flour tortilla wrapped around two hot dogs and filled with chili and cheese) was a thorn in the neighborhood's side because of its popularity amongst punk rockers during the early 1980s. Good times then…
Better times are yet to come…
Oki Dog is London’s answer to “Psychiatric Chic”!
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.
It all began at home of the pointy scuffed, London’s Trash. Someone asked if anyone knew a band that could do a gig and Oki Dog instantly offered their services, via a bit of nifty talking with absolutely f*ck all to back it up. Once booked for said gig, they thought they’d better write some songs. “Suddenly we were victims of our own hype,” rabbits Grace, the ear-bleeding lead singer and lyricist, “and we were a band without ever intending to be in a band.”
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. Phil, the “mad artist” and a man evidently wearied by his time in bands who rehearsed for months before doing a gig, is all in favour – why spend so long? “Nothing will ever be perfect,” he says and he’s quite right. “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.
A six-month hiatus in Autumn 2003 and a line up change later, Oki Dog is about to turn a new leaf. For starters, they are about to give birth to their first 3-track EP. “We will carry on causing mayhem, expect us to stir some major trouble in a venue near you!” concludes Phil, the mentalist. “Last time, we saw Grace hurled a beer crate into the audience, It was awesome!”
Oki Dog is the brutal bitch.
