Apologies for the lack of news lately but we have been unwell here at Dog Explosion.
Unfortunately I have a low-grade Oligodendroglioma (brain tumour) that apparently has been slowly growing for 5-10 years. Low grade means that it is not malignant and can be operated on, most probably in 2024.
It's been frustrating to say the least to have to miss all the shows including Oxjam Beeston, JT Soar with Jess Brett and She, Robot and supporting Stuart Pearce Band at The Chameleon. It's also been very confusing mentally after having several seizures which alerted us to the problem.
All being well Dog Explosion will return with a lovely scar on the head to show off!
Thank you to all our friends who have sent kind comments on the Facebook and Instagram pages! I am now feeling much more like myself, getting used to anti-seizure medication.
See you soon hopefully!
