ITN 13 | Dogleg (Ann Arbor, MI)



Talked with Chase and Alex from Dogleg about recording their first two EPs, playing Super Smash Bros Melee at their merch table and how Chase is one of the top ranked players of a game that came out in the early 2000s and has never lost. We also talked about getting nervous before gigs and what goes into their high energy live shows. This was a fun conversation and if you stick around to the end, you can hear their song Star 67, which is a fuckin bonafide JAM off their most recent EP, Remember Alderaan.
