Domestic Dog is the solo project from Leon Welburn, of Hull bands The Evil Litter and Bunkerpop.

Way back in 1991, two like minds bonded over their shared love of music, whilst waiting in a taxi queue outside of a Hull nightclub. Pearl's Cab Ride was born, and the rest as they say, is funk-history. 

After recruiting musicians with the chops to fulfil the vision, they were soon gigging and recording through the early 90's at festivals and venues renowned for fans of cool, funky, vibes – even attracting the attention of the Acid Jazz label.

In 2015 after a 20 year hiatus, the band were asked to reform for a special one-off celebration show, and it's been going on ever since!

They have graced the stages of iconic venues such as Hull’s Adelphi Club, Welly and The Polar Bear, Smokestack in Leeds & Scunthorpe’s CaféINDIE, as well as world renowned festivals including Boomtown Fair, Freedom Festival and the Humber Street Sesh. They have also supported Smoove & Turrell, Flamingods, Hot 8 Brass Band and 47Soul to name a few.

High octane funk, jazz and Latin infused soul music, perfectly knitted together by this 7-piece outfit, all topped off by singer Lyn Acton’s sumptuous vocals.  

It's the hippest trip you'll ever take.
