July Doctor Snake Oil is now on Face Book at the request of many of our friends and fans. You can link over to Face Book on most of our pages on the D.S.O. website. Let's have fun spreading the word. We had a great time at Racine Harley Davidsons Customer Appreciation Day. It was a great day for the party. We played for about 1500 people that showed up. The grand prize that was won was a 2010 Wide Glide with a $5.00 raffle ticket. Wow! D.S.O. will be at Racine Harley Davidson for Customer Appreciation Day Saturday July 3rd. Don't miss us at Sluggofest on Saturday July 24th and The Bunker on Sunday July 25th. Check out the gig page for more details. There is a new addition to Drew's collection of basses to check out. This one is Drew's Snake Bass.
This limited Epiphone Korina Flying V Bass is just not for looks and has been customized with EMG 35P-4 pick up's and gold hardware and green abalone. The art work is Drew's creation. His abstract python has been painted with metalic paints and metal flake highlights. The Snake Bass was completed at Guitar Center in Brookfield, WI. Thanks to Scott and Nick for making this happen.
June Once again we started the begining of the month at Fatboy Roadhouse and had a great time!

March Doctor Snake Oil's new line up is David on guitars and vocals, Animal on drums and percussion and Drew on bass and vocals playing Classic Hard Rock Biker Music. The new line up is sure to catch your attention with all those rockin tunes from the 70's and some crazy fun mixed in. Check out the new shows are listed on the Gig page and more to come this year. Our new Demo is now on the Music page recorded by Shane Hochstetler at Howl Street Recordings in Bayview, WI. We like to thank Dave Cook of Cooks Custom Choppers for the use of his Rambler chopper in our photo shoot that has a distinct vintage feel, and is powered by what he mysteriously refers to as a ‘550 International’ engine—a one-of-a-kind construction using OEM metric and Dave Cook custom fabricated components. The motor is based on the Honda CB550 transverse four, with a radically reworked case so it can be positioned longitudinally instead of transversely. On top of the case work, Dave also built an auxiliary oil tank and oil regulator. The timing assembly is a one-off too, along with the bell housing and clutch assembly, which runs Aermacchi clutch plates. The transmission housing is an old BMW 3-speeder, which Dave managed to fill with a BMW R75 four-speed gear set; the shaft drive is adapted from a Yamaha Virago. It’s a lot of work, and that’s before we even get into the engine breathing or the finely-detailed, almost antique styling. Class. Dave won top honors at the 2009 AMD World Championship in Sturgis and has been on the Discovery Channel's biker build off. Dave's bikes invariably have a classy, retro charm, which makes them stand out from the stereotypical Hot Wheels glitz purveyed by many other US builders. So it was a really cool experience for us. Thank you Colleen Swartz from Digital Magic Big Shots who photographed us in the Party Pit located on the grounds of Dave Cooks custom shop in Milwaukee. Colleen is well known in the biker community for her magazine covers for Cycle World, Biker Magazine.... and biker events across the country. Colleen took a special interest in DSO regarding the design and art work for our new poster below.
