Pavlov's Dog is a progressive rock band that was formed in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1972. The band's name was inspired by the famous experiments of Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, who conditioned dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell. The band's original lineup included David Surkamp on lead vocals, guitar, and violin, Steve Scorfina on lead guitar, Mike Safron on drums, Rick Stockton on bass, and David Hamilton on keyboards. Pavlov's Dog's music was characterized by Surkamp's distinctive, high-pitched vocals and the band's eclectic blend of progressive rock, hard rock, and classical music. The band's debut album, "Pampered Menial", was released in 1975 and was well-received by critics. The album featured the hit single "Julia", which helped to establish Pavlov's Dog as a rising force in the progressive rock scene. Pavlov's Dog continued to release albums throughout the 1970s, including "At the Sound of the Bell" (1976) and "Third" (1977), but the band struggled to find commercial success. Despite this, Pavlov's Dog remained a popular live act, known for their elaborate stage shows and Surkamp's distinctive vocals. After a lengthy hiatus, Pavlov's Dog re-emerged in the 1990s with a new lineup and several new albums, including "Lost in America" (1990) and "Echo & Boo" (2007). The band continues to tour and record to this day, with David Surkamp as the only original member. High on a Small Hill (1972 - 1973)
