Dog Trumpet is spearheaded by brothers Peter O'Doherty and Reg Mombassa, original members of iconic Aria award winning and Hall of Fame band Mental As Anything. The Mentals had a worldwide hit with Live it Up. Their songwriting contributions to the Mentals include Berserk Warriors, Egypt, Brain Brain, Apocalypso, Surf and Mull and Sex and Fun, Close Again and Psychedelic Peace Lamp.
Over the last thirty years as Dog Trumpet they have released seven critically acclaimed albums: Two Heads One Brain, Suitcase, Dog Trumpet, Antisocial Tendencies, River of Flowers, Medicated Spirits and their latest, released in 2020, 'Great South Road'.
Parallel to their music careers Reg is well known too for his idiosyncratic work for Mambo Graphics and as a fine artist. Peter is also a successful and much sought after painter. For over three decades the brothers have exhibited in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, USA and Asia.
Shadowland is Dog Trumpet's brand new album. A distinctive blending of psychedelia, folk and blues, the album probes the perils and absurdities of human existence, kicking off with the title track Shadowland, a nervous musing on digital over-surveillance; followed by Nina Simone, a song reflecting on romance and memory. F***ing Idiots points out the shameful idiocy of our addiction to war and militarism; The Ballad of Clayton Looby is an anti-establishment ode to a larrikin surfer. "Shadowland" our eighth album to be released on the 4th November 2022 on Vinyl, CD and digitally worldwide via Demon Music Group. New single "Shadowland".
