Led by Matt Mccourt from NW
Metal heroes Wild Dogs, has long been called "the lemmy
of Portland oregon" due to his longtime fanatic fanship for
the loudest band on earth which began in 1978 when poison idea
gtr man PIG CHAMPION played the song MOTORHEAD for him en route
to a Ramones show "I was immediately hooked on the bass sound
and lemmy's vocals -
in 2007 looking to do something fun, Mccourt decided to put out
a call for players for a band to pay homage to his favorite tunes.
the first lineup included Tim Hastay, drums and guitarist Jason
Moser. the group banged out some gigs locally before the 'call
of the wild dogs" came and a German tour was scheduled and
became the priority for the next 2 years performing at headbangers
open Air fest and dates with Raven, Culprit and other others from
the same era.
