Workdogs

The Workdogs are an American alternative rock band consisting of Rob Kennedy (bass, vocals) and Scott Jarvis (drums), who have provided the backbeat for Half Japanese, Velvet Monkeys, and a number of other bands over the years (Jarvis also produced and engineered the Beastie Boys' Pollywog Stew EP and served as their tour manager when they hooked up with Madonna's 1985 Like a Virgin tour). The only Workdogs' constant is change as they've operated under a different lineup for most every release and/or live performance. Jon Spencer (Pussy Galore, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) and Jerry Teel (Honeymoon Killers, Chrome Cranks) have played with the duo so often, however, that they would almost qualify as permanent members. A variety of other New York and New Jersey-based indie rock and avant-jazz artists have joined in throughout their career to back them up on guitar, saxophone, and other instruments.
