With its energetic blend of straight-ahead stone, funk, stain and DC-style go go, Dogzilla was one of Boston's top dance bands of the late-1980s and early-90s. While lead guitarist George Hall, songwriting and solid guitar rhythms of Sean Brann shared most of the public eye, Dogzilla remained anchored the funky rhythms of Washington, DC-born percussionist Jim Billbrough, bassist Andy McGuire and Keith Moon-like drummer, Fudge.
The origins of Dogzilla trace back to the Archbishop's Enema Fetish, a mid-1980s band that had managed to buzz off itself prohibited from virtually Boston clubs. After the group disbanded, in the spring of 1987, quaternity members continued to bring together as Dogzilla. Adding Billbrough on percussion, they performed their debut exhibit, as opening act for the Dead Milkmen, at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Although they released two telling albums -- Allizgod in 1991 and There's Always Something Wrong the next year -- Dogzilla was ineffectual to break through to a national audience and disbanded. Hall went on to play with Boston-based World flap ring, Seks Bomba.
