Dr. 8 is the culmination of more years in the art of making music,
than they would care to admit.
Many years in the past, several artists all of which are part of Dr. 8
came into contact with each other through the osmosis of the
underground Chicago Music Scene. Dr. 8 is a recording act that defies
description because of all these incredible musicians who are all at
the top of their craft and creative power when they are playing on Dr.
8's Songs. Each song is a work unto itself, which in the end is a
stand-alone vibe of Dr. 8 as a unit, how and why they sound like this.
Take a listen to the way the solo break section in Venice Beach takes
off! The whole development to the crescendo of this section, puts you
in another zone. This tune is a put the top down, hit the pedal and
drive song. Scott wrote it in 45 minutes one morning after seeing the
scene a day before on a visit to Marina Del Ray, Venice Beach, CA.
Equally facinating though, is that the no one on Venice Beach took
more than a couple of takes each to make the tune happen, so in terms
of production, it only took around 13 hours. The same goes for Love
Hound, which is the story about how a girl of 19 finally snagged her
boyfriend. He wrote this tune for her to sing in her band after
telling her he would during a chance meeting in the lounge of Studio
Chicago, over a cup of coffee but she never got around to it.
Ultimately though, the point is; that when pro's this good get
together it's easy and way cool.
Scott Pollack and many of his friends are the producers and performers
in all of Dr. 8's offerings. Scott sees the unit as a montage of
talent formed to record a particular Song at which point Dr. 8 becomes
an assemblage of artists united around the single vision of a song
they are currently recording or have recorded...so the lineup changes
with each tune. Sometimes entirely.
Each song has a history behind its creation into a final mix.
This is an act in Development...they are not available as unit, they
are listed for the purposes of market awareness.
They debuted their music on MySpace 11 June 2006 and in the beginning
months of their promotion quickly received accolades from all who have
listened while their airplays climbed quickly. Things have
tapered off a bit, but as they release new recordings we're sure the
response will be the same. With plenty of hours prescheduled in
one of Chicago's best studios, there's plenty of more great tunes on
the way. Their EP-CD is available through Bittersweet Records.
They are an act slowly but surely on the rise...so hit the Bittersweet
Records link and buy this historic release now!
