Philadelphia's own grass roots rockers Dr. Dog released their sixth album Shame, Shame last month and the quintet is currently in the midst of a North American tour. They arrive in New York this Saturday, May 15 to play Terminal 5. The Alternate Side caught up with bassist and co-founder Toby Leaman in Austin and he revealed what he thinks is part of the group's appeal and longevity.
