Secret Dog was born from mutual admiration between three Denver underground music darlings: An Hobbes, aka Tyler Kriegler, Aethernaut, aka Daniel Culp, and Felix Fast4Ward, aka Felix Ayodele. "Felix and I started performing shows together — not as a group, but separately — at Lion's Lair for DJ Bunchagrief's monthly show," Kriegler explains. "Danny and I met at Lost Lake, and I was enthralled, because Danny's performance was awesome. Through the years, we started to work together individually, and then as a group; that idea started to form at DEF CON, which is a hacking convention that happens in Las Vegas.
