Formed in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1972, the progressive rock band Pavlov's Dog was signed by the ABC label on the strength of a demo, The Pekin Tapes, which officially surfaced in 2014. Characterized by the high-pitched voice of singer and guitarist David Surkamp, the band recorded a landmark album, Pampered Menial (1974), produced by the tandem of Sandy Pearlman and Murray Krugman before working with Blue Öyster Cult. With a reshuffled line-up, Pavlov's Dog prepared his second album At the Sound of the Bell (1975) with several guest musicians, including Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson), Michael Brecker and Andy Mackay (Roxy Music). The commercial failure of this album led to a split in 1977, despite a third album that remained unreleased for thirty years (it was released in 2007 under the title Has Anyone Here Seen Siegfried?). Reformed in 1990, Pavlov's Dog recorded Lost in America, then disappeared again. A new version with Mike Safron was released in 2004, before the arrival of singer and guitarist Sara Surkamp, wife of the singer, who took part in the recording of the album Echo & Boo (2010), then Prodigal Dreamer (2018).
