“I had to wait 30 years to see Pavlov's Dog live. And it was better than everything I saw this year. David Surkamp's voice is still great. The audience was freaking out. 150 minutes goose skin and pure fun playing. Who can beat this?“ (Breakout Magazine, 4/2009)

If a band deseves to be referenced as „unique“, the US ProgRock phenomen Pavlov's Dog fits the bill. Founded in 1973 by former Chuck Berry drummer Mike Safron, it's David Surkamp's incredible vocal performance that brands the singularity of Pavlov's Dog. When Pavlov’s Dog signed its initial recording contract with ABC Records in 1974 for the unheard figure of $ 500.000,- they were the highest signed newcomer band ever since.

Pavlov's Dog's 1975 debut album Pampered Menial is a milestone in Rock History and was voted by Mojo Magazine into the Top 100 of the most important Prog-Rock releases of all times (# 27.). An extraordinary lineup (with violin, piano and mellotron) ties up with David Surkamp's hightuned falsetto voice – a highly affecting sound like coming from another world. The music scene back in 1975 was thrilled. Members of Yes, King Crimson, Roxy Music a.o. contributed to their 2nd album At The Sound Of The Bell.
