DOG (Dirty Old Gangsters) is an NYC based crunchy, guitar driven, have a good time, in your face hard rock band, fusing elements of Punk, Glam, and Classic Rock, creating a familiar, fun “we don’t take ourselves too seriously attitude” with a classic sound. The musical diversity of DOG’s members is what makes it special:Lead Singer, Guitarist, and Front Man WASS STEVENS is as an Actor (“Public Morals,” “House of Cards,” “Demolition,” and the upcoming “Patti Cake$” to name but a few) and NYC Nightlife Impresario. He brings an edge, sense of humor, style, and “go f-ck yourself” attitude to the DOG Crew. His tenor range and nasty guitar licks can be compared to an Axl Rose, Slash, Ronnie James Dio, Keith Richards love child.
