A little-known fact about the shows we put on at 107.7 The End is that we like to have puppies backstage for all the bands to be able to play with before or after their sets.

We have our friends from the animal rescue Motley Zoo bring little doggos and kittens to Summer Camp and Deck The Hall Ball, and sometimes after playing with the animals backstage, one of the artists decides to adopt one and take it home. Most of the time, the animals are named after songs or artists who are playing the show that day.

This year after Deck The Hall Ball, Portugal. The Man frontman John Gourley decided to adopt "Miss Atomic Bomb" (named for the song by The Killers, who played after PTM at Deck this year) after the show ended.

According to the Instagram post from Motley Zoo, Gourley's daughter named the puppy "Iko Iko Unday," referencing the 1965 song by The Dixie Cups.

Here are a few more photos from when Portugal. The Man first met Iko.
