Don't shoot Paul Weller, he's only the piano player.... oh, go on, then

Dog have called in a favour from a famous(ish) fan, and got Paul Weller to help out on their new album. playing piano. Is Weller a gifted pianist?

Apparently, that's not the point:

"We are fans of his and asked him to play piano on our album. We can't play piano very well and, although he's not the greatest piano player in the world, he's pretty good."

Just as an aside, is Dog the worst name for a band ever? Even leaving aside that it sounds like a name chosen at the end of six hours of drunken disagreement, how the hell do they expect people who like them to find them on Google? Even Scabby Dog would have been better. Might have been more apt, too.

They're actually called 'Dogs', which isn't any better a name, but does mean that far from being a hot new band, they've been kicking about for ages, with Island signing them (same management as Razorlight), spending a fortune making (John Cornfield at Sawmills)and promoting their debut album, which sold so well they were dropped sharpish, have made a second album on a tiny indie and people are still under the impression they're a new band. They've supported Weller countless times and he's played with them before. - E.
