San Francisco-based swamp rockers the Sundogs were led by violinist
Tom Rigney, an alumnus of Queen Ida's Bon Temps Zydeco Band and Back in the Saddle. After mounting a solo career with 1989's Rigo, he formed the Sundogs with singer/rubboardist
Joe Paquin, guitarist T.J. Politzer, bassist
John Aughney and drummer Jimmy Hobson; introducing their fusion of rock, zydeco and blues on 1992's
Howlin', the group resurfaced two years later with
To the Bone. 1997's Heavy Petting earned "Cajun Record of the Year" honors from Cajun Times, and was followed a year later by
Dancing Room Only; a seasonal EP,
Bon Temps Noel: A Swamp Beat Christmas, appeared in 1999. ~ Jason Ankeny
