Hugo (they/he) is an electric performer and one of the two singers for Dog Guitar. He is a part time wizard and full time friend who loves the ineffable magic of live performance. When they’re not singing and running around the stage/audience, you can find him dealing cards at the casino or in a tarot reading.

Smellie (she/they) is a plague of tasteless ideas and musical malice. A teller of terrible stories. A lover and a shit talker. Sometimes her tummy hurts.

Luke (he/him) grew up listening to Frank Zappa, Korn and Brittany Spears, playing the xylophone in school band. Now he has tinnitus from not using ear protection and plays the keys too loudly.

John (he/him) lays down riffs in Dog Guitar, looking for any excuse to play the 7th string. He is a lover o=f the Callous Daoboys and IDLES, and he also takes inspiration from Amyl and the Sniffers. He is not to be confused for the Dog Guitar, who is a different creature.

Autumn (she/her) is a classically trained percussionist and self-taught multinstrumentalist from rural Illinois. Her influences include Queens of the Stone Age, Knower, and Meat Puppets. In her spare time she enjoys TTRPGs, romance novels, and thrifting. She also plays guitar in her doom metal band Grimoire.
