Dog Day is a Canadian indie rock duo based in Halifax, Nova Scotia consisting of husband and wife team Seth Smith and Nancy Urich.[1]
Originally named Hi-Firey,[2] Smith and Urich began the band as a side project from their main band The Burdocks.[2] The duo soon changed their name to Dog Day when another husband and wife pair, K.C. Spidle and Crystal Thili, joined the band.[1] The band released its debut EP, Thank You in 2005, initially on homemade CD-Rs and later in a rerelease on Out of Touch Records.[3] They were subsequently signed to Tomlab by Leon Taheny.[3]
They released their debut full length, Night Group, in 2007 on Tomlab,[1] and followed up with Concentration in 2009.[4] Concentration was mixed by John Agnello at Water Music Recording in Hoboken, New Jersey.[4]
Spidle subsequently left the band following his divorce from Thili,[5] and was replaced by Rob Shedden.[6] Both Shedden and Thili subsequently left the band,[5] and the core duo of Urich and Smith released their third album, Deformer, in 2011.[7]
