| - Part of Boston's music explosion of the 90's, the Cavedogs were composed of Todd Spahr on vocals and guitar, Brian Stevens on vocals and bass and Mark A. Rivers on drums and vocals.Their first album %22Joy Rides For Shut-Ins%22 was a big hit on the college circuit in the states and with independent music critics alike. After touring the states with success, they went back to the studio to work on their sophomore effort %22Soul Martini%22. Not as successful in the shops, it was still welcomed by fans and critics for their clever lyrics and catchy tunes.After seeing that %22Soul Martini%22 wasn't a financial success and that touring was taking a toll on their personal lives, they decided to call it quits.All three members went on to solo projects: Todd went on to create The Gravy, Brian Stevens put out a solo album under his own name and Mark Rivers went on to play in Poundcake.In 2001, the Cavedogs decided to get back together for a reunion tour across the US. They then released a compilation of unreleased tracks entitled %22Fall Back In It%22 on their one-shot label Goodswift Records.

The band displayed a collective sense of humor on stage, as well as featuring the comedy troupe Cross Comedy before and during shows. Performances usually ended with covers such as the Beatles' %22Tomorrow Never Knows%22 or the Who's %22A Quick One While He's Away%22.The Cavedogs released the album Joy Rides for Shut-Ins in 1990, the EP Six Tender Moments in 1991 and the album Soul Martini in 1992.
