Background notes
Archive material and source history
Pavlov's Dog formed in St. Louis in 1972 with David Surkamp on vocals, Steve Scorfina on guitar, Doug Rayburn on keyboards, Tom Nickeson on bass, Mike Safron on drums, and Sue Vessella also singing. Their debut album 'Pampered Menial' came out in 1975, featuring Surkamp's high vocals and intricate arrangements that got some critical notice but didn't sell particularly well.
In 1976 they released 'At the Sound of the Bell,' which included the song 'Julia' that got played on progressive rock stations. That album became their most recognized work, though there were stories about label problems with Columbia Records around that time. After that, Surkamp left the band, and Rayburn and Scorfina started a project called Arcana.
They came back in the 1990s with some live recordings and new material, with some of the original members involved again. Songs like 'Late November' and 'Of Once And Future Kings' show the kind of melodic progressive rock they were known for.
