In the wake of the Dead Boys 1987 reunion tour and a subsequent run in with local authorities, Cheetah Chrome cooled his heels in his former home town. Problem was, and is, there "Aint Nothin to Do". A gig was arranged with Lords of the New Church at the Agora Theatre, and a back up band was quickly thrown together. All of a sudden, the Ghetto Dogs were unleashed in Cle. Throughout the summer they played a handful of shows, drank an ocean of Blatz beer, got into a few scrapes, and managed to record a four song demo at Great Tracks. Of course, by summers end, the whole project went to the dogs and Cheetah returned to NYC where he briefly put together a band with the same name. The original band reunited a few years later when they played at the Stiv Bator memorial benefit at Babylon-A-Go-Go. There recordings were released in 1993 as an E.P. (GH1013) on Get Hip Records.
