Modern Dog

Modern Dog (sometimes Moderndog) (Thai: โมเดิร์นด็อก) are a Thai rock band formed in Bangkok, Thailand, in 1992. The founders and original line up of the band consisted of lead singer and guitarist Thanachai "Pod" Ujjin, guitarist Maeter "May-T" Noijinda, drummer Pawin "Pong" Suwannacheep, and bassist Somath "Bob" Bunyaratavech, though Bunyaratavech soon left after their debut. Modern Dog's success played a significant role in popularising alternative rock in Thailand, and they are recognised as a major influence on modern rock culture in the country, maintaining a popular following.

With over two million copies sold of their five studio albums, Modern Dog achieved significant commercial success, including multiple number one singles. They eventually signed to the independent Thai record label Bakery Music, and released their first and self-titled album, Modern Dog (Thai: โมเดิร์นด็อก), commonly known as Soem Sukhaphap (Thai: เสริมสุขภาพ), soon after in 1994, establishing themselves as part of the Thai rock scene.

The band's 2004 album, That Song, was produced by Tony Doogan (Belle & Sebastian, Mogwai), with the title track arranged by bassist Yuka Honda of Cibo Matto. The album also featured guest appearances by Yumiko Ohno of Buffalo Daughter and Sean Lennon. It featured three singles that went to No 1 in Thailand.

Extending their reach beyond Thailand, Modern Dog played in Tokyo in 2003. In July–August 2006 the band toured the United States, including a show at the Knitting Factory in New York City.
