Label GB

Demon is a UK 80s New Wave label that was founded by Elvis Costello, Andrew Lauder, and the company behind the label in 1980. In 1998, the label was acquired by Music Collection International and merged with its Westside Records operation. Today, Demon forms part of the Demon Music Group Ltd.

Spearheaded by brothers Reg and Pete, Dog Trumpet have been playing, writing and recording their music since the release in the early 90s of their first album "Two Heads One Brain". Over three decades they have released five critically acclaimed albums: "Dog Trumpet", "Antisocial Tendencies", "Medicated Spirits", "River Of Flowers" and in 2013, the double album "Great South Road", nominated for that year's Australian Music Prize album of the year. The brothers have created an inventive and original body of work distinguished by an eccentric and offbeat harmonic warmth and melodic drive propelled by Reg's distinctive slide guitar and Peter's elegant acoustic guitar and mandolin. Their poetic, yet at times absurdist lyrics are set against a sonic backdrop that could loosely be described as a meld of rock and roll, psychedelic folk, country and semi-abstract blues.

Reg and Pete were founding members of iconic Australian band Mental As Anything. Meeting at art school in the late 70s, they began writing songs in the cauldron of Punk and New Wave, making a mark with their left field mix of music, art, video, humor which led to ARIA awards and induction into the Hall of Fame in 2009. The brothers detached themselves from Mental As Anything at the end of the 90s but left behind a legacy as contributing songwriters with nine albums and over twenty Top 40 hits in Australia & New Zealand along

Fronted by brothers Peter O’Doherty and Reg Mombassa, Dog Trumpet have been playing, writing and recording their music since the early 90s. Reg and Pete were founding members of iconic Australian band Mental As Anything, who hit the charts around the world with “Live It Up”. The band made a mark with their left field mix of music, art, video and humour and leading eventually to ARIA awards and induction into the Hall of Fame in 2009.

Recorded and produced by Peter at home in his ‘South Road’ studio, the brothers have created an inventive and original body of work distinguished by an eccentric and offbeat harmonic warmth and melodic drive propelled by Reg’s distinctive slide guitar and Peter’s elegant acoustic guitar and mandolin. Their poetic, yet at times absurdist lyrics are set against a sonic backdrop that could loosely be described as a meld of rock and roll, psychedelic folk, country and semi-abstract blues.

Released in 2010, River Of Flowers was their fifth album, and features “Buttons Undone”, “Mr Alcohol And Mrs Marijuana”, “Great South Road” and “The Wilson Home For Crippled Children”.
