Broken
Dog was formed in the summer of 1994, when Clive Painter and Martine
Roberts met and began to record and develop their songs on a worn out
reel-to-reel machine.
Influenced by the spirit of such American luminaries as the
Grifters, Swell, Pavement, Smog, Will Oldham and Guided By Voices, they
set about recording what became their debut album, discovering along
their colourful way a penchant for dark, brooding undertows.
Clive and Martine spend some of their time collaborating and producing records for other bands.
The Broken Dog live band is possible with the help of the Mark
Wilsher on drums, and some other of their musical friends: Sean Newsham
from Quickspace on bass, and the occassional assistance of Andrew Blick
of Blowpipe.
