that was actually quite funny

Someone (January 31, 2004)

they should try looking up wade's butt. or maybe its wade who's up rob's?

Someone (February 16, 2004)

he's joined far from finished, they're playing a show where the dogs are also on the bill. one word for you people - and you know i'm right; FIGHT.

Someone (January 21, 2004)

Does anyone know what the deal is with their drummer? I know he has yet to tour with them, and I was wondering if he is still in the band or are they replacing him?

Anthony Modano from Kicked in the Head is filling in right now, but he will NOT be a permanent replacement.

Someone (January 22, 2004)

Kicked In The Head ROCKS!!! And Tony Modano is a motherfucker on the drum`s. Make sure to check out these Street Dog`s show`s if you can.

Someone (January 26, 2004)

He got arrested

Someone (January 27, 2004)

He can't tour; he left DKM because of that.

CactusSac (January 21, 2004)

I had it confused for Snow Dogs. So I didn't understand your post at first 'cause nobody like Snow Dogs.

Someone (January 22, 2004)

Isn't that the homo Disney movie with the talking huskies?

I'd go just to see Nate play, never got a chance to before.

yeah, I would probably do the same.

Someone (January 26, 2004)

It ain't that great.

Someone (January 31, 2004)

Go see naterino play!

Someone (February 16, 2004)

its worth losing rob to get nate out on the road.

Someone (January 22, 2004)

So Rob's left the band, Jeff Erna doesn't tour with them, and the band's original bassist, Michelle Paulhus, left the group before they recorded their album. So for all intents and purposes Mike is the only remaining original member? Man, that's quick work!

Two words: Johnny Rioux.

Someone (January 28, 2004)

Whoever you are. You are in for a fucking beatdown.

Someone (January 23, 2004)

Mr. Rio destoryed the Street Dogs. Now they shut down their message board because they didn't want the truth to be heard. Blame Mr. Rio.

Someone (February 16, 2004)

thats pish and you know it.

Someone (January 27, 2004)

Jeff doesnt and can't tour. That's why he left DKM in the first place.

Someone (January 22, 2004)

pfft. tour. four fucking shows in california. thats not a fuckin tour. bastards. at least youth brigade is playing, that is a band that fucking rocks. the street dogs album was really dissapointing to me. i didnt really like it at all. oh well, lots of people like it a lot so i guess its good, just not my thing. peace

Hey, I guess my band has gone on a couple of tours if four or five back to back shows is a tour. Hell, I'm kinda on tour right now!

Johnny Rioux-ended the Street Dogs. He bitched about wanting to be a touring band and claimed to have all of these contacts. So he took over managing them and took over the web page. He forgot to pay the hosting company so they shut the page down for a while. He moved to Texas (that is a little far away from the other members) so how do you practice or even do local gigs? He complained and bad mouthed how everything was going and was blaming Cross Check Records (who in the begining made some mistakes but this was their first release and they got better). I wonder if he knows that Mike picked Cross Check and worked the contract end of things. Anyways, Rob got sick of this situation and decided to leave the Street Dogs so he could start a band that could actually practice together and maybe even do a tour that has atleast 6 dates back to back. That is too bad si

Amen. More people need to know how one person can ruin a great band. Blame Johnnie, he sucks!

Someone (January 31, 2004)

your lame spelling reveals who you really are. nice work!

Someone (January 31, 2004)

fuck that shit, blame wade.

Someone (January 27, 2004)

Seems like Johnny can totally tour; the lack of shows was due to Jeff and Mike. John found fill in drummers that could tour and got them all of their tours. And, the guy was one of the Dropkick Murphys managers for years, so, yeah, he does have "contacts." The band was still doing about one local show a month, which is fine for a band their size. Sounds like you've got a personal vendetta friend. John's the best thing that happened to that band.

Someone (January 27, 2004)

No vendetta. I thought he was a nice guy when I met him but he is not the best thing that happened to this band. Remember this is my opinion and I am sharing that in this open forum. I would have done it on their message board but that seems to have disappeared from some reason.

Someone (January 27, 2004)

That is the whole story. The lack of shows was not the issue; problems with the label, managment, and what some people's intentions for the band is what is tearing it apart. Essentially, it's been a lot of infighting and it's unfortunate. I have been very close to the band and have known the former manager for a year now and can back up EH's statement. I can no longer support this band.

Someone (January 28, 2004)

That is sooo fucking gay. You need to go bury your head in your vagina.

Someone (January 31, 2004)

former manager is an asshole scenester.

Someone (February 16, 2004)

agreed.

Someone (January 31, 2004)

johnny didn't end the street dogs, they're still around and will be for a long time to come. he does his job and he does it well, leave him the fuck alone.

Someone (February 16, 2004)

johnny didn't end this band, they're still here. he didn't bitch, he left that upto somebody else. that totally sounds correct about the website deal, typical fucking jackass. he moved to texas to make his fortune. he knew he wouldn't do that with this band, but someone else thought they could.

Someone (April 10, 2004)

oh really?

Someone (April 10, 2004)

oh eric, would you like some chesse with that whine?

Someone (January 27, 2004)

Rob has lost his marbles! This band is on the way up and w/Mike and Johhny on board and Anthony Modano on drums,they will find a replacement with no problem.Plus its kind of obvious some of the posts on this board are from disgruntled past employees,pretty fucking sad! Go Street Dogs!

I spoke with past members and friends of the Street Dogs and they only had good things to say about the band and their future. I even spoke with Kincaid last week and he only had good things to say about everyone. Cheers

OnTheAttack (January 28, 2004)

Gotta look below the surface, friend. You've gotta be naive to think that when a guy leaves a band HE started, it's just because he has "other projects". The band will continue on but I give them until October. Trust me.

Someone (February 16, 2004)

thats just peachy. i can't believe kincaid had good things to say about anyone when he made his feelings known so eloquently.

Someone (January 31, 2004)

rob's out, big deal. like we didn't see that one coming. whos gonna come out with the truth, thats what i want to know. give the fans the truth for once.

OnTheAttack (February 1, 2004)

EH and I gave the truth. Try emailing the band and see what happens.

Someone (February 2, 2004)

Are leaders don't give us the truth, do you really think a band is going to tell us the true story. NOT!

Someone (February 3, 2004)

My post was sarcastic. I've emailed the band and I've yet to get a response.

OnTheAttack (February 3, 2004)

That was me.

Someone (April 10, 2004)

that much was obvious.

Someone (February 10, 2004)

Someone (February 16, 2004)
