The Handsome Dogs unveil video cover for new track “American Dream”

German rockers The Handsome Dogs consisting of lead vocalist Porty Portner, guitarist Pete Potens, drummer Lars Lunova and bassist Jacky Jung have unveiled a video for their new single “American Dream.”

In an interview with Sleaze Roxx back in October 2018, Potens revealed how The Handsome Dogs came up with their band name as he indicated: “We were thinking about a name. We started out as a covers band and since we are all owners of dogs — we are all dog fans so to speak — my guitar player Lemmes came up with the idea of The Handsome Dogs. So we are The Handsome Dogs [laughs].”

With respect to how the band got started, Potens stated: “Well, we all knew each other from a very young age and we all played in different bands but never had a chance to get together as a band. So about two years ago, the drummer and the other guitar player asked me if I wanted to join. Funny thing is that we all knew each other but had never played together in a band. We started out basically as a covers band. You know what I mean? We started out playing songs from the bands that we liked. We did not have our own material. That went really well with the covers and at what point, we said, “Well, let’s just write our own music. Let’s just start.” And it went like that and all of a sudden, we had like ten, twelve songs together that we played live. So we decided, “Well, let’s put that stuff on a CD.” That’s how it happened.”
