Dis Nasti Dog – Dis Nasti Dog

Dis Nasti Dog is an experimental and avant-garde rock work released in 1999 by the collective of the same name, featuring Vítor Rua on eight-string guitar, E-Mu sampler and Mac G3 computer, João Galante on vocals and guitar, and Carlota Lagido on vocals, with additional vocal contributions from Bárbara Lagido and David Miguel.

The album unfolds as an expressive and provocative pastiche of various stereotypes drawn from the imagery of American rock culture, combining attitude, irony and excess in a deliberately raw and caustic approach, reflected in its confrontational lyrics. The record marks a rare and biting return by Vítor Rua, known for his work with GNR and Telectu, to musical territories closer to the song format, albeit filtered through an experimental and deconstructive aesthetic. Beyond the recording itself, Dis Nasti Dog was also presented as a multimedia performance, incorporating visual and electronic elements, with on-stage participation by DJs Murka and David Martins and drummer Luís San Payo.
