| About Kassy Key & the Raindoggs | Raindogg, Brent Cagle & Rob Huntley became friends in 2011 while playing in a Tom Waits tribute band. Although the tribute band didn’t work out, the three would later go on to form The Raindoggs. The Raindoggs met singer/songwriter Ali Holder through Michael Prohaska (Trumpet) who played with Ali in ‘Ali Holder and Train Robbin Whiskey’. The Raindoggs released their first album Red to Black in August 2011 and played their first show at J.Lorraine Ghost Town, Manor TX. on Halloween weekend. The Raindoggs first single Stuck in RED was recently featured in the Dodge Dart song writing competition. With Ali Holder returning to The Broken Hearted, the Dogg’s found themselves searching for a new pack leader. Larisa Montanaro joined The Raindoggs in November of 2011, and released their first single (remake of Snoop Dogg’s My Medicine) two months later. The Raindoggs single was named “Spotify Song of the Day” by soundofus.com. My Medicine” also appeared on the 2012 compilation album Zap! Azul by BandSoup.com. In July of 2012, their second album One Armed Bandits was released under “We Don’t Suck Productions”. Larisa & the Raindoggs parted ways in July of 2012. Kassy Key joined The Raindoggs in July of 2012, and released their first video “Sleight of Hand” that following September. Kassy Key & the Raindoggs released a four song EP with the same name in Jan, and are currently working on a LP due late 2013.
