Dog Party

The Northern California punk pop duo Dog Party formed in 2005 when the Giles sisters had their first practice. Guitarist Gwendolyn was nine years old, and drummer Lucy was six. Ever since that day, the sisters kept writing songs, practicing, and playing the occasional show as they juggled music with school and growing up. They released their first record, a seven-song self-titled EP in January of 2009, then followed it two years later with P.A.R.T.Y. All Night. As the duo became more well-known and more musically accomplished, they began to play more shows, including a tour of Europe. Their music caught the ear of the legendary NoCal punk label Asian Man and they signed the duo up and released their second album, Lost Control, in 2013. ~ Tim Sendra
