ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2025 AT THE ICONIC MUSIC VENUE, MOLLY MALONE’S, LOS ANGELES, CA
They say that by consuming alcohol the next day after waking up from an evening of alcohol consumption the night before lessens the effect of a hangover. This is what is known as a “hair of the dog” short for “hair of the dog that bit you.”

Well, the HAIR OF THE DOG I’m talking about is a young ROCK BAND from the greater Los Angeles Area that knows how to rock hard and performs with such powerful passion by their lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Troy Bravo, who also has the “Moves like Jagger,”and is backed up by amplified killer riffs from the lead guitarist, Mamoun Bouab; the hard pounding beats by the drummer, Devin Cooney; and the smooth bass licks by bassist, Hampus Isaksson. Together this is HAIR OF THE DOG and this band is the only true remedy one needs from a hangover.
Their music delivers a smooth, but intense and powerful classic rock style sound, infused with fresh modern rock grooves and vibes and mixed along with hints of blues and country rock. The band was formed in 2024 by its founder and lead vocalist and guitarist, Troy Bravo who has been in the rock music scene since he was 16 years old. HAIR OF THE DOG has performed in many popular venues including The House of Blues in Anaheim, The World Famous Whisky A Go Go, and The renowned Viper Room. Troy is backed up with the same vision as his drummer Devin Cooney, and the recent addition of Mamoun Bouab from Morocco a Musicians Institute of Hollywood student. On this night they added a guest bassist from Sweden, Hampus Isaksson, also a Musicians Institute of Hollywood student.
