ABOUT
"Who needs a recording studio when you have a 14-year-old laptop, six friends and a neighbor with a working leather factory in Louisville, KY?"
Stealing time between cow hides being wheeled in and out, Black Dog Otis banged through 11 songs in two days. Leather Factory is six guys tearing apart the blues and restitching them together with punk, garage and country threads.
Those six guys are former pawn shop employees, bar bouncers and hand models, current archeologists, creative directors, designers and satellite installers. Guys who used to play over 200 shows a year, been in dozens of bands from Seattle to Pittsburgh and recognized routinely on the CTA in Chicago as, “That one guy in that one loud country band.”
This is Black Dog Otis. A band that’s every bit Louisville. Not quite midwestern. Not quite southern. And of course, not quite sober.
