Even 'Police Truck''s lyrics as the background music to 'Cops' would be more fitting justice than this.

The band has started mapping out a tour that is expected to keep them on the road all summer long with gigs at such well-known venues as the Whiskey A Go-Go and the Roxy. The next appearance is scheduled for Friday, April 29 at the Whiskey. For all the latest news and tour dates, visit www.dogfacedgods.com.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
