Friday 21st October:As it approaches twenty five years since their breakthrough album ‘In the Dynamite Jet saloon’, The Dogs D’Amour will make a return to the live arena for five UK shows this December. Now legendary, Dogs D'Amour gigs are surrounded by tales of debauchery and destruction, unadulterated rock 'n' roll antics and excesses.  

 

Fronted by the inimitable Tyla, The Dogs D'Amour were unleashed onto an unsuspecting and somewhat mediocre UK music scene during the mid 1980s. With their ramshackle pirate-meets-Dickens style they pioneered a unique mixture of glam-punk and stonesy rock 'n' roll. They sang songs about sweet sorrows and told torrid tales of destruction - all perpetuated by their ‘do-or-die’ attitude. Their music and style stood out from the rest, as did their iconic artwork created by frontman Tyla. His quirky illustrations of mischievous rock n’ rollers up to no good adorned the bands album covers and sleeves.

 

The Dogs D’Amour played their debut gig in London, England on April 12th 1983. They had UK chart success with ‘Satellite Kid’, peaking in at Number 26, as well as several other Top 40 singles and albums. From 1994 Tyla focused on his demanding solo career and in 2000, The Dogs release ‘Happy Ever After’, and in 2002 the band opened for Alice Cooper on his European tour. In 2005 Warner Brothers release a best of ‘Heart Shaped Skulls’ featuring new artwork and liner notes from Tyla, plus all their promo videos on a DVD bonus disc. 2006 Tyla tours the Dogs in UK and Europe  for over 100 dates releasing a live DVD/CD of the shows titled ‘Unleashed’ whilst also maintaining a solo career which includes  well received Art Exhibitions in Europe and an extensive 6 month solo tour of the USA in 2007.

 

And now, 2011, in between all the Dogs activity, Tyla has managed to release an impressive 18 solo albums to date and has recently re-recorded ‘In the Dynamite Jet saloon’ for its 25^th Anniversary. He is also set to release his latest solo album ‘Quinguaginta’ marking his 50^th year on this earth. In true Tyla style the album is an eclectic mix of songs about real life, heart ache, tragedy and true love and a wonderful collection of soul searching anthems from a man who has never been afraid to put his heart out on the line.
