The Moondoggies is a rock band from Everett, Washington. Formed in 2005 by Kevin Murphy (guitar, vocals), Caleb Quick (keyboards, vocals), Carl Dahlen (drums, vocals), and Robert Terreberry (bass, vocals). They have been described as "seriously kick-ass" by Austin Scaggs of ''Rolling Stone''. The band has released three albums and one EP on Hardly Art, an imprint of Sub Pop Records. ==History== While attending Cascade High School in Everett Washington, Kevin Murphy started a punk rock outfit called the Familiars with drummer Jon Pontrello, bassist David Brown (later replaced by Robert Terreberry), and singer Jon Parks. The group gained a small following playing around Seattle while still in their late teens. Shortly before the band dissolved, Murphy began collaborating and writing with Caleb Quick. The two began performing live while living in Bellingham, Washington. Murphy lived briefly in Ketchikan, Alaska before returning to Everett and starting The Moondoggies. Drummer Carl Dahlen had no previous drum training before joining the band. The band released their debut album ''Don't Be A Stranger'' on August 19, 2008. Backup vocalist Nicholas Davis parted ways with the band shortly before their debut album release. The album received favorable reviews from NPR Music,〔http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=100505273〕 KEXP, and Aquarium Drunkard. In November 2009 the band began recording their sophomore album ''Tidelands'' with producer Erik Blood.

In October 2010, the band was featured as ''Relix'' Magazine's "On The Verge" artist. On December 7, 2010 their single "What Took So Long" was NPR Music's "Song of the Day". In January 2011, longtime friend, collaborator, and multi-instrumentalist Jon Pontrello joined the group.
