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.

Over the last thirty years as Dog Trumpet they have released eight critically acclaimed albums: Two Heads One Brain, Suitcase, Dog Trumpet, Antisocial Tendencies, River of Flowers, Medicated Spirits, Great South Road and Shadowland. 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. Dog Trumpet have toured extensively in Australia, New Zealand, USA playing festivals including SXSW Austin Texas, Bluesfest 2023, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Blue Mountains Folk Festival to name a few.

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” is their eighth album and is out now on Vinyl, CD and digital worldwide via Demon Music Group. New single “Back Room” out now.
