Doo Rag

Doo Rag was an American lo-fi blues band duo from Tucson, Arizona, United States. The band consisted of Bob Log III and Thermos Malling. By the time of their breakup, they had supported a number of artists on tour, most notably Sonic Youth and Beck. The members of Doo Rag first began performing together at a party in Tucson in 1990. "I had a snare drum with a guitar bolted onto it, and I was playing Fred McDowell songs when a friend jumped up and started banging a cheese grater with a spoon," guitarist Bob Log recalls. "The next day we went out on the sidewalk and played, hoping to scrounge up cigarette money". The band recorded a cassette together, which they self-released, and then began touring

==Links to Peel==
Peel was enthusiastic about the band's lo-fi blues material and would play their music on his shows including having the band do two sessions for his programmes. The band's first session was recorded over the telephone line. After 1996, Peel seemed to have lost interest in the band's music.
