  • Pavlov's Dog is a 1970s progressive rock/AOR band formed in St. Louis in 1972. Pavlov's Dog originally comprised David Surkamp, Steve Scorfina, Mike Safron, Rick Stockton, David Hamilton, Doug Rayburn, and Siegfried Carver (born Richard Nadler) (various string instruments including the rare vitar, a cross between a guitar and a violin). Carver left the band after the first album. On their second album At the Sound of the Bell (1976), Tom Nickeson was added to the line-up on guitar and he took over Hamilton's keyboard position after the album had been recorded as Hamilton left the band. Safron was still a member of the band but did not appear on the second album, former Yes drummer Bill Bruford played as a guest musician. Safron left in the aftermath of this, partially due to his failure to receive a promised credit on the album sleeve and the band's third album featured Kirk Sarkisian on drums. The band's debut Pampered Menial was briefly released in 1974 on ABC Records but then quickly re-issued by Columbia Records. The result was that both versions appeared in stores at nearly the same time, which may have confused the public. The album was produced by Sandy Pearlman and Murray Krugman who had found success earlier in the decade producing Blue Oyster Cult. Their second album At The Sound Of The Bell followed on Columbia in 1975. In addition to the personnel changes noted above, a raft of guest artists contributed to the album including jazz saxophonist Michael Brecker and Roxy Music's Andy MacKay. The band recorded a third album in 1977, but due to poor sales of the first two albums, Columbia refused to release it, hastening the band's split. The third album finally appeared as a bootleg in the 1980s, a limited edition pressed from stolen master tapes. It was released under the name The St. Louis Hounds, without Pavlov's Dog's name on the sleeve. The third album finally was released legally in 2007 by German label Rockville Music, titled Has Anyone Here Seen Sigfried?, remastered and including additional 10 bonustracks of unreleased material from the 1970s. The German label TRC illegally bootlegged the album, with title Third, but this version does not include the bonustracks. In 1990, a reformed version of the band, with only Surkamp and Rayburn from the original line-up along with some contribution from Scorfina, recorded Lost In America for US label Telectro Records, which was re-released worldwide by Rockville Music in 2007, after TRC also having illegally bootlegged it in the late 1990s. Also in 2007 the solo album Dancing On The Edge Of A Teacup by Pavlov's Dog's lead singer David Surkamp was released by Rockville Music. On June 26, 2004, a reunion concert with the original line-up, except for Siegfried Carver, was scheduled to take place in St. Louis, Missouri. The band tours annually in Europe since 2005. Among others they played the Arrow Rock Festival in Holland 2006 in front of 54,000 people, as well as headlining both the Burg Herzberg Festival in 2007 (12,000 people) and the Woodstock Festival in 2008 (5,000 people). David Surkamp's distinctive voice has been compared to that of Geddy Lee of Rush. When the band split up in the late 1970s, Surkamp was rumoured to be dead, although in fact he was working with former Fairport Convention member Ian Matthews on a band named Hi-Fi. While living in Seattle the group was successful on the club scene and recorded a 5-track live 12" EP in 1981 entitled Hi-Fi Demonstration Record and a studio album in 1983 entitled Moods For Mallards. Both Hi-Fi's albums were released on First American Records and distribution was mostly limited to the Pacific Northwest region. The label self-destructed soon after investors ran into troubles with the Internal Revenue Service. So, in the end, Hi-Fi proved to be even more obscure than Pavlov's Dog.
  • Pavlov’s Dog ist eine US-amerikanische, 1972 in St. Louis, Missouri gegründete Rockband, deren Sound durch die ausdrucksstarke extrem hohe Falsettstimme des Leadsängers David Surkamp unverwechselbar ist. Die Band wird zur Stilrichtung des Progressive Rock gezählt. Neben Surkamps Stimme wird der sehr rhythmische Rock dadurch geprägt, dass zusätzlich zur Standardrockinstrumentierung (Gesang, E-Gitarre, Bassgitarre, Schlagzeug plus Keyboard) einige klassische Instrumente wie Flöte, Geigen und andere Streichinstrumente sowie das Mellotron melodietragend eingesetzt werden.
