Des bouts de bio...

Elle se forme au début des années 90 avec Bobby Patterson (chant, basse), Brian Dennis (guitare, choeurs), Kenny Soule (batterie, choeurs) et Doug Jervey (clavier). Après plusieurs années passées sur scène, Dag enregistre son premier album Righteous en 1994. Le groupe repart en tournée et subit quelques modifications dans son line up. Doug Jervey quitte la formation et est remplacé par Kai Russell et Jen Gunderman. Suit successivement en 1998 l'album Apartment 635 et A Guide To Groovy Lovin'.
DAG is a funk bar-band that earned a loyal following around their hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina in the early '90s. The initial incarnation of the band featured Bobby Patterson (lead vocals, bass), Brian Dennis (guitar, backing vocals), Kenny Soule (drums, backing vocals) and Doug Jervey (keyboardist). After spending several years gigging, the group eventually earned the attention of the major labels; they signed with Columbia, releasing their debut album Righteous in 1994. It was a modest regional success and earned some positive reviews in national publications. Following its release, the group toured steadily and their lineup changed slightly, as Jervey left the group; he was replaced by Kai Russell and Jen Gunderman. They finally delivered their second album, Apartment #635, in the summer of 1998. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Bobby Patterson It's always good to see NC veteran guitarist Scott Sawyer teamed up with bassist Bobby Patterson and drummer Kenny Soule. Go There has been playing, off and on, for three or four years. But, it's been probably a year or so since I last heard of them playing together again. Thanks to WideSKY productions, this reunion of local musical heavyweights was made possible. WideSKY got the band back together for four shows, one of which was at Raleigh's Pour House. If you're familiar with the music scene in our area, you will surely recognize the names of the members that make up the trio that is Go There. The 400lb gorilla on stage would be the combination of Patterson and Soule playing together again. It's hard to ignore the fact that these two used to make up the rhythm section of the successful Raleigh funk and soul outfit called Dag. Joining forces with Scott Sawyer, they make quite a formidable trio.

http://www.applejuiceorchestra.com/bio.htmlBobby Patterson, AJO’s bassist, brings years of touring experience and studio expertise to the band. A former bassist/singer of DAG, which released two albums with Sony in the late nineties, he “anchors the rhythm section like a ten-ton weight,” according to Juice. “Given the diversity of the music we play,” the drummer continues, “it’s crucial to have a bass player with the kind of taste and funkiness that Bobby has. Everyone in the band was a huge fan of his before we got together, and we still are now. Plus, he’s ridiculous live.

Je sais pas pourquoi son look me fait penser à Joe Strummer...
