| The Ivory Elephant - Like a Dog Rock, Blues, Roots, Psychedelic | 23/02/2013 |
A gritty DIY trio, playing greasy, heavy blues. The Ivory Elephant are Melbourne's answer to The Black Keys. Guitar riff fueled music.
Like a Dog is a swampy-bluesy ballad. Although more subtle than some of the bands other work, this track has been one of the most popular with listeners due to it's unique guitar riff and tone. Watch out for the freakout guitar solo in the middle!
