Think Gary Allan crossed with Toby Keith, sprinkled with some Alan Jackson and you have The Dirty Hound Dogs. These guys sound like they have been part of Music Row in Nashville all their life. The Dirty Hound Dogs are Marcus (Gordo) Gordon and Scott (Scott-e) Neasham. They were formed after a chance meeting in a bar, Scott-e had seen Gordo playing in various local bands and on this occasion Gordo was helping a band with his mixing skills. Over a couple of beers, The Dirty Hound Dogs were born. The Dirty Hound Dogs are primarily a song writing team, focused mainly on only the big sounding country / honky tonk style tunes. Gordo has played in many Western Australian bands, covering a variety of styles and playing with a mixture of other musicians including the likes of Rick Steele (father to Little Birdy and Sleepy Jackson). Gordo has also made a fulltime career out of being a musician and has toured Australia extensively in countries like New Zealand and Asia. Scott-e has had dream from the early age of five, he wanted to write a hit song. Having played bass for a number of years in a couple of bands that never went further than the rehearsal studios, Scott-e decided to focus more on the song writing side of his musical career. The partnership between Gordo and Scott-e, has allowed this side to develop to itâs full potential. In July 2008, the Dirty Hound Dogs received a phone call from their record label saying that they had secured a release and that they need to prepare for a tour. Unfortunately less than 2 hours later, Scott-e was involved in a major car crash injuring his back and requiring 3 operations. 18 months down the track Scott-e is still recovering and unable to return to playing and performing. As a result the Dirty Hound Dogs have decided to remain a songwriting team/studio band and release their music digitally.
