The Cavedogs
The Cavedogs were a power pop band formed in Boston during the mid-1980s. The band featured Brian Stevens (bass/vocals), Todd Spahr (guitar/vocals) and Mark Rivers (drums/vocals). The trio broke up in the early 1990s, but reunited for several shows in 2001–2002, 2010, the WMBR Pipeline! 25th anniversary festival in 2014, the 2015 Hot Stove Cool Music benefit, and most recently at the Burren Back Room Series in March of 2024. They are opening for Letters to Cleo in November of 2025, for a show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City and two shows at the Paradise in Boston.
The Cavedogs were known for their energetic live shows, well-crafted power-pop, skillful playing, and three-part harmonies. The band displayed a collective sense of humor on stage, as well as featuring the comedy troupe Cross Comedy (with David Cross) before and during shows. Performances usually ended with covers such as the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" or the Who's "A Quick One While He's Away".
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. The band members went on to record as solo artists and as members of other bands after the breakup.
