First ever live release recorded in studio at Dog House Recorders in Lafayette, CO
IGNATIUS REILLY has released our first ever live album TODAY!
“…In the Dog House” was recorded in June 2025 in one live session at Dog House Recording Studios in Lafayette, Colorado with engineers Kenny Vasko and Jason Quattrini, and also captured on video by Sophie Medvick. The final audio tracks were mixed and mastered by Ignatius Reilly bass player Mark Brut in his home studio.
The album features nine tracks and over 50 minutes of music from the band’s catalog, including two songs from the band’s 2024 release “Superstitions Fade,” three songs from the bands prior releases, and four songs that are staples of the band’s live shows but have never been previously recorded.
The first three songs of the album feature guitarist Eric Bullock on acoustic guitar, with the remaining six songs full electric.
Two of the previously unreleased tracks are done in the acoustic format – “Ghost Town” and “The Walker Song,” both sung by keyboardist Ethan Ice. “Ghost Town” was written by Ice and first appeared with his prior band the Sneaky Bastards. “Walker” was first performed with Ice and drummer Jeff “Birddog” Lane’s former band the Menagerie, and was written largely by drummer “Powercone” Pete Castleberry from that band.
The album also features two additional tracks written by outside writers. “Champagne and Adderall” is a hooky rocker written by Micah Gunn, who was a frequent collaborator of the band in their early days. “Shaken” is from drummer Lane’s prior band Grand Theft Maidcart formed with his former Outformation bandmates Grady Upchurch and Clark Keown. From Chattanooga, Tennessee, the band originally recorded the Keown original in 2013, and now features Mark Brut on vocals, marking his first lead vocal performance on an Ignatius Reilly album. It was previously sung live by the band’s former front man Brock Elam.
The album includes live versions of “Life on the Run,” “Chasing Your Tail” and “Gladys” from the band’s first two releases, all of which have become mainstays of the bands live shows, as well as “The Singer” and “Acadiana Contradance” from the band’s 2024 release “Superstitions Fade.”
“…In the Dog House” is a great snapshot of Ignatius Reilly’s live show and a showcase of the diverse songwriting of the band’s repertoire.
