Last night, April 6, Dogs In A Pile rode their Spring Tour down to Roanoke, Va. for the first of two nights at 5 Points Music Sanctuary. In their latest engagement, the rising jam quintet tackled two sets of well-established originals, plus a return to a Little Feat classic that had left their live repertoire.

Dogs In A Pile kicked off their show on Monday night with the tried-and-true “Chocolate Milk,” which has been with the band since their origins in 2018. Next, they merged into “My Disguise” and “Nicolette,” the first two of three inclusions from their third studio album, Destroid, then pulled up Little Feat’s 1977 essential “Time Loves a Hero” for the first time since December 2024. A seamless transition into the fan-favorite “Charlie” took the group to a set-closing treatment of “Power Trip,” followed by a second set culminating in the Distroid standout “Thomas Duncan, Pt. 3” and an encore of “Bugle on the Shelf.”

Monday’s welcome tribute to the Southern rock pioneers continued a recent thread of nightly subtle surprises. At their prior show on Saturday, April 4, at Raleigh’s Lincoln Theatre, the band resurrected their memorable early-era cut “Wook Song” for its seventh staging to date and first since August 2024.

Dogs In A Pile’s Spring Tour continues tonight with a follow-up at 5 Points Music Sanctuary, preceding 14 further stops through May 5. Find tickets and more information at dogsinapileofficial.com.
