Blue Dog Pict

The band released three albums: The Picture Album (1990), Anxiety of Influence: a nodding into...? (1992), and Spindly Light Und Wax Rocketines (1995).

Blue Dog Pict was one of Toronto’s most beloved and misunderstood bands of the early 90’s. Between rave reviews and abject bewilderment, the media recognized their musicality and organically grown and fiercely loyal and colorful audience, one that the Toronto Star and MuchMusic likened to a cult, while others used analogies like a flying saucer wreck on Easter Island or any number of bemused adjectives to attempt to explain what they witnessed or perceived from the outside.

Their songs were in regular rotation on college radio throughout North America for half a decade and their self-released albums got international distribution from Distribution FUSION III out of Montreal and Yikes! Records in the Unites States. Their song "One Hour's Sleep" was featured in the Degrassi TV Movie "School's Out."
