Pavlov's Dog is a 1970s progressive rock/AOR band formed in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1972. The name is a reference to the animal(s) used by Ivan Pavlov in his experimentation into classical conditioning. History Early years and split The original lineup of Pavlov's Dog included vocalist David Surkamp, guitarist Steve Levin, keyboardists David Hamilton and Doug Rayburn, bassist Rick Stockton, drummer Mike Safron, and violinist Siegfried Carver (born Richard Nadler). Levin left the band during their inaugural year and was replaced by Steve Scorfina, formerly of REO Speedwagon. Following the release of the band's debut album, Pampered Menial, Carver also departed. Pampered Menial had an unusual release history: it was briefly issued on ABC Records in 1975 before being quickly re-released by Columbia Records, resulting in two versions appearing in stores at the same time. The album was produced by Sandy Pearlman and Murray Krugman, who were also known for producing Blue Öyster Cult. For their second album At the Sound of the Bell (1976), Tom Nickeson was added to the line-up on guitar; he switched to keyboards following the departure of Hamilton. A raft of guest artists contributed to the album, including jazz saxophonist Michael Brecker and Roxy Music's Andy Mackay. Bill Bruford played the drums on this album, due to the absence of Safron, and when Safron did not receive a promised credit on the album sleeve, he departed the band permanently and was replaced by Kirk Sarkisian. This line-up of the band remained until their dissolution in 1977.
