Raymond X-Ray Dog-vocals
Marcus Marootian-keyboards
Rick Reneau-guitar
Davey Fowler Blayney-bass
Wayne Garabedian-drums
Marcus, Wayne and Rick from the SUBTRACTIONS hooked up with
flambouyant Raymond X-Ray Dog, a snappy dresser with a brilliant smile
who seemed like a logical frontman. Marcus knew Davey Fowler from high
school ,(they played in school band together) and he was brought in to
play bass. Those wonderful Davey Fowler house parties had been going on
when DOGMEAT formed, I remember seeing them play there. With the
keyboards and slower tempo it had a heavy, post-punk feel similar to PIL
but with more of an arty/experimental edginess thanks to Raymond's
screaming punk vocals. I remember a song called 'French and Indian wars'.
DOGMEAT rehearsed at the same auto-body shop as the SUBTRACTIONS.
They played a few gigs, the most notable was opening for BLACK FLAG at
the Belmont Ballroom,(see photo from that show) and house parties in
'81-'82.
