Philadelphia-based band Dr. Dog stopped by The Current's studio while they were in town to play a couple of shows at First Avenue in support of their most recent album, B-Room.

In their interview with The Current's Mark Wheat, Dr. Dog's Toby Leaman and Scott McMicken explained the album's title was inspired by their newly constructed (DIY) studio. Leaman and McMicken describe why it was important for the band to create their own studio space and to set it apart from the busy urban environs where they had previously done all their recording.

McMicken and Leaman also talked about how they like to create a rapport with their audiences, and they also shared some insights about their favorite sports mascot, the Phillie Phanatic.
