Rumbledog

RUMBLEDOG is the little known project of DIRTY LOOKS frontman Henrik Ostergaard, the singer deciding to have two projects running concurrently in the 1990's, RUMBLEDOG and DIRTY LOOKS. Stylistically, there were very few differences between the sound and style of melodic hard rock acts. The self-titled debut RUMBLEDOG album came out in 1993 on the Mirror Records label, who Hernrik had worked with almost ten years previously. The RUMBLEDOG albums would come out in years alternate to those of his main band. The debut was really just a solo project with Henrik listed as the only member but featured many guest contributors. These guests included Dave Naro, Paul Monroe of XYZ, Robbin Crosby of RATT and four members of DIRTY LOOKS namely, Cary Devore, Jim Harris, Paul Lidel and Brian Perry. The album also featured a couple of reworked tunes from some of the lesser known DIRTY LOOKS albums. Again in an 'off-year' from DIRTY LOOKS, Ostergaard released the second RUMBLEDOG album. Entitled 'The Drowning Pool' it was also on the Mirror Record label and this time was a more cohesive band affair with original material and a five-piece line-up comprising guitarist Mike Ondersek and Mike Smith, bassist Jassen Wilber and drummer Ron Sutton. The music took on a slightly more Grunge-influenced sound and included a cover of RAM JAM's seminal 'Black Betty'. In 1997 three members of RUMBLEDOG, Sutton, Wilbur and Smith, formed the band BURNING ORANGE. In later years Wilber and Sutton worked with Blues guitarist BERNARD ALLISON. Read more on Last.fm.
