The Riot Dogs

The Riot Dogs is a fresh 3-piece band with powerful vocals with a lot of range, and talented musicians to boot! Their specialism is in rock and pop, though you will also find a fair few soul, reggae, and punk favourites in their repertoire. Their standard line up is a trio with lead vocals with electric guitar, bass with backing vocals, and drums with backing vocals. They can add a 4th band member, such as a lead guitarist, or saxophonist if you would like. Whether you go for the 4-piece or stick with the trio, the band will be sure to surpass your expectations - with previous clients reviewing the band as “superb musicians” and being highly recommended time and time again. The Riot Dogs have been working together as a unit for a considerable amount of time, and therefore they are very in sync with one another. This synchronicity allows them to keep their eyes and ears on their clients and audience to ensure you all are having the best time ever. They come to every event fully prepared and briefed, follow schedules, check in with coordinators to ensure a smooth operation, and are happy to take on board requests and schedule adjustments throughout the day and night too. The band is led by Sam, who likes to think of himself as Jack Black from School of Rock. Monday to Friday Sam teaches kids in school how to be in a band, and on the weekends he joins his band and brings party music up and down the country to weddings, corporate events, and festivals. Sam has a distinct and versatile voice that lends itself perfectly to pop and rock. Sam’s voice also marries up beautifully with soul, reggae, and punk too. Sam is backed by Ewan on bass and backing vocals, and Rob on drums and also backing vocals. The band has a 4th member, Paolo, on lead guitarist and backing vocals, in case you want more musicians on your stage and a bigger sound. All three backing musicians have trained collectively at the prestigious British Institute for Modern Music and Plymouth University. The Riot Dogs have got an extensive repertoire of over 100 songs covering the best pop and rock hits with a touch of soul, reggae, funk, disco, punk, and jazz to nicely round off their repertoire. And Ewan doubles as the band DJ, so if you’d like to book him to bring his booth and his decks he can make sure your dance floor stays busy in between and after live sets
