The Hangdogs were an American roots rock band from New York City, active from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s. The group consisted of lead singer-songwriter Matthew Grimm, guitarist and pedal steel player Automatic Slim, bass guitarists J.C. Chmiel and Rob Gottstein, and drummers Kevin Baier and Dave Stengel. In their early years, they released their debut EP, Same Old Story, in 1995. The band gained critical acclaim with the release of their album East of Yesterday in 1998, which received national press coverage. Following this success, they released several more albums, including Beware of Dog (2000) and Wallace '48 (2003). The Hangdogs held a one-off reunion show on November 14, 2021, at the Kessler Theater in Dallas, in memory of longtime KNON DJ and supporter Bruce Price.
