Straw Dogs

Seattle’s David von Beck formed the Straw Canines as an wall plug for his shimmering, mellow nation rock and roll. After touring america as a complete band to get the group’s debut, Legends & Lays, von Beck pared Straw Canines down to a straightforward duo, initiating assistance from his previous friend Darren Smith in the Colorado-based Stranger Neighbor. The music in the band’s 2001 record, ANYPLACE At All gained von Beck and Smith a Billboard songwriting award as well as the starting slot in the Crash Test Dummies last tour. Hum from the Electric motor, a tribute towards the open up street and Americana implemented in 2003, this time around with a complete music group dishing out the poignant “No Despair” tunes.
