Moderndog
Modern Dog (sometimes Moderndog) (Thai: โมเดิร์นด็อก) are a Thai rock band formed in Bangkok, Thailand, in 1992. The founders and original line up of the band consisted of the lead singer and guitarist Thanachai "Pod" Ujjin, the guitarist May-T Noijinda, the drummer Pawin "Pong" Suwannacheep, and the bassist Somath "Bob" Bunyaratavech, though Bunyaratavech left after their second album. Modern Dog's success played a significant role in popularising alternative rock in Thailand, and they are recognised as a major influence on modern rock culture in the country, maintaining a popular following.
With over two million copies sold of their first five studio albums, Modern Dog achieved significant commercial success. They eventually signed to the independent Thai record label Bakery Music, and released their first and self-titled album, Modern Dog, soon after in 1994, establishing themselves as part of the Thai rock scene.
Extending their reach beyond Thailand, Modern Dog played in Tokyo in 2003. In July–August 2006 the band toured the United States, including a show at the Knitting Factory in New York City.
