Dogs in a Pile: How Systems Made Them Unstoppable On and Off Stage

May 16, 20252 min read

Dogs in a Pile: Proof That the Right Systems Make the Artist—and the Business—Unstoppable

Now let’s talk about a band that isn’t just building music—they’re building a machine.
Dogs in a Pile aren’t winging it. They’re not “seeing where it goes.”
These guys are executing with the kind of discipline I’ve only ever seen in high-performing companies.

And the craziest part? They make it all look effortless. But behind the scenes, it’s a different story.

This really came to life for me at their show at the Brooklyn Bowl Philly show.


Let’s start with Ross.

Ross isn’t just the frontman—he’s the CEO.
This guy carries the weight of vision, brand, and quality control on his back without letting a single thread unravel. He’s got one eye on the crowd and one eye on the systems that keep the machine humming.

I watched them move city to city with a level of clarity and consistency that most $10M businesses wish they had.


Their Content Machine Is a Flywheel—Not a Fluke

Every set is filmed. Every moment is captured.
But it doesn’t stop at the GoPro.

They’ve got a repurposing rhythm that turns:

  • A live jam into a clip…

  • That clip into an IG Reel…

  • That reel into a fan-share magnet…

  • That magnet into merch sales and ticket conversions.

Most bands post content when they feel like it.
Dogs run a publishing engine.

It’s not random. It’s not reactive. It’s intentional.
It’s built off systems, not “vibes.”
And it’s working.


They Don’t Just Show Up—They Build Community

What impressed me most wasn’t just their musicianship (which is world-class).
It was how seriously they take the Dog Pound—their fan base.

From signing merch after shows to engaging with fans online, the way they interact is deeply generous. But again—it’s not sloppy. It’s built into the brand. It’s baked into the business model.

Their community-building isn’t just warm fuzzies—it’s a retention system.


Operational Flow That Would Put Startups to Shame

Travel. Gear. Soundcheck. Merch setup. Social. Fan engagement. Content uploads. Internal team comms.
All of it flows.

I watched them pull off what felt like a 30-person operation with a fraction of the staff—and zero chaos.
That doesn’t happen on accident.

They’ve got SOPs, they’ve got delegation, and they’ve got buy-in from every single bandmate.


What This Means for You (Yes, You)

Whether you're a band, a business, or a solo founder juggling twelve spinning plates:

  • Your brand doesn’t need more followers. It needs a system.

  • Your marketing doesn’t need to be louder. It needs to be consistent.

  • Your growth doesn’t need more capital. It needs more clarity.

Dogs in a Pile are showing up like a touring company with product-market fit.
Not because they sold out—but because they built up.


I took notes. I shared them with Nef. Then we built the framework.

What they’re doing can be replicated in any industry.
You just need to stop handing your traffic to Ticketmaster and your reach to algorithms—and start building assets that compound.
