Dope Body have built a reputation in the underground community for delivering intense live performances, the type that exhilarate in their unpredictability, galvanised in large part by the group’s charismatic lead singer, Andrew Laumann. With a sonic buzzsaw of a guitar/bass/drum attack firmly and wildly alongside, the ferocity of a Dope Body show is truly unmatched. To arrive at the apex of such stage appeal, and off the back of their 2012 release for Drag City, Natural History, the band embarked on a rigorous 19 months of almost nonstop touring. This intense dedication allowed them to develop a monstrously unique performance and bring it to every festival, bar, basement and backyard available, garnering a grassroots fan base along the way – then, with another feral, gut-busting album under their belt in Lifer to prove their mettle as studio stalwarts, Dope Body did it all again, putting themselves on full display across the globe.
