WorkdogsThe Workdogs - Rob Kennedy (bass, vocals) and Scott Jarvis (drums), who have provided the backbeat for Half Japanese, Velvet Monkeys, and a number of other bands over the years. The only Workdogs' constant is change as they've operated under a different lineup for most every release and/or live performance. A variety of New York indie rock and avant-jazz artists have joined in to back them.Workdogs In Hell - The Cassette Mixes, released 01 February 20221. The Death Of The Workdogs2.

A Litany Of Complaints/Satan Is RealWARNING: RECORD MAY BE CURSED! LISTEN AT YOUR OWN RISK!!Is Workdogs In Hell Cursed?Let's look at the facts:>The first attempt to transcribe the rhythm tracks (which were recorded by Jerry Williams at Moogy Klingman's Hi 5 Studio) caused the tracks to melt down on the 16 track deck at Kramer's Noise NY. The deck needed complete refurbishment.>While attempting to mix Workdogs In Hell Rob and Scott lost their jobs, their long time rehearsal space and descended into a haze of drug and alcohol abuse. >The label, Sympathy For The Record Industry, had so many returns and complaints about Workdogs In Hell that it literally burned half the pressing in a bonfire.>In Hell received few reviews, mostly negative, which poisoned the 'Dogs reputation with record companies.FAST FORWARD TO 2021 AND NEEDING TO REVISIT WORKDOGS IN HELL BECAUSE IT IS PART 1 OF THE COMEDIE OF ROBERT KENNEDY >On his first attempt to acquire the master tapes from Scott in NYC, Rob is thwarted by flood waters 27' above normal. Rob's house is nearly destroyed by flood. Over $50,000 damage to structure.>The flood opens the septic line, again delaying attempts to get the master tapes. Waste line had been repaired with drain pipe. Open shit line in the basement. Another thousand dollar repair for Rob.>When master tapes are finally acquired and shipped to Jim Waters for transcription they melt down on the Waterwork's 16 track deck, destroying it.>The songs from In Hell that Rob wanted to remix turn out to not even be on the master tapes. The missing master tape is nowhere to be found.>The reissue of Workdogs In Hell, which was slated for release in 2021 to coincide with the 700th anniversary of The Divine Comedy, must be delayed again and again.Finally we had no choice but to go back to the original reference cassettes we had made from the 171A four track deck. What we discovered was the Workdogs at their loosest - with a head full of SOMETHING and chilling and jiving at Scott's 12th St. apartment. Are THE CASSETTE MIXES the ultimate version of Workdogs In Hell? Not exactly. Workdogs In Hell - The Cassette Mixes is more like an alternative fourth dimensional In Hell featuring a lighter hearted and less Dante minded Workdogs. Much of the material has never been heard before. The cassettes have been remixed and remastered by Rob and Jim Waters and the sound quality is so improved its unbelievable.The fantastic cover art is just a taste of what's to come from Andreas Rausch who is illustrating the entire Comedie Of Robert Kennedy.
