anyone heard of this band from glasgow?

they are awesome, found their myspace site yesterday

dananananaykroyd

they describe themselves at fight pop.

they released two 7'' in 2006, both sold out and about to release an ep Sissy Hits in April in the UK.


LoadMyRig  said about 3 years ago:

great name.

the one after one song thingy is faboo.


hwct  said about 3 years ago:

good band.


ghostofbarry  said about 3 years ago:

haven't heard of this lot soula, but they sound good.

i heard another band from glasgow that called themselves fight pop, sort of similar to this but a bit darker and with more keyboards. i have one of their songs at home, can't remember their name though. it was good stuff, i'll chase it out over the weekend and post it up here


soula  said about 3 years ago:

i thought no one cared! after i put up with 90 minutes of listening to artrocker on woxy.com and found these guys.

never heard of the term fight pop. some of dananananaykroyd songs remind me of black level embassy, but obviously bits are poppier.

fuck it took me forever to remember how to spell their name! 4 an's and two y's. when i first saw the name i thought they were a joke, bad uk humour. luckily i was wrong!

please people go and listen. you'll thank me.


ghostofbarry  said about 3 years ago:

acually it was these guys, i remembered after some googling

Multiplies


soula  said about 3 years ago:

multiples didn't really grab me. too much synth. the friggin 80's are over, kill all synths.


ghostofbarry  said about 3 years ago:

i don't mind some of their stuff, but some is a bit too much in that vein that's been done to death in recent years.

sounded less hackneyed a few years back. and got me fascinated with the phrase fight pop. i don't know the history of the genre two well but multiplies were the first i'd heard

of course it sounds like heaps of other things that have gone before, just recombined


scotch egg  said about 2 years ago:

Hey Soula, Dananananaykroyd are coming out here in July.

ps. I thought Multiplies were great.


soula  said about 2 years ago:

oh my god!!! i saw it on a poster when i was at the east last weekend. i'm getting my ticket! i hope they're good live. confused as to why they are coming out here?


shineslikerubies  said about 2 years ago:

pretty sure that dew process is releasing them, and popping them on the bill for splendour.


soula  said about 2 years ago:

got my ticket. but i've seen a song on rage...not sure i like it. hmmm


gunshot_glitter  said about 2 years ago:

Anyone going tonight? This should be a fun gig.


goldbuttons  said about 2 years ago:

just got a free ticket so see you there! I haven't ever heard this band, but fun.


anonymous  said about 2 years ago:

live from twitter.

Crowd surfing incident has halted the Dananananaykroyd show, two songs in. Waiting to see what develops. Band has stopped playing.

Band member has a potential broken arm, show over. Whoa.


nyx  said about 2 years ago:

Whoa indeed. There goes tomorrow nights plans.


gunshot_glitter  said about 2 years ago:

1 epic song and a trip on the mic cord did it. We moved away when he stacked it. I feel so guilty for not catching him now.

Poor guy.

Annandale are doing refunds.


astralwerkor  said about 2 years ago:

This band suck immense penile. Should harden the fuck up.


plaidplaidgirl  said about 2 years ago:

It was a little bit of a nightmare. They're a great live band and what happened must have been very upsetting for them.

But honestly, I don't think that one sprained/broken wrist = tour end.

So maybe a tiny bit of hardening up wouldn't go astray.


eastside  said about 2 years ago:

bummer, years ago josh homme belted a bloke at revolver and broke his hand still played the rest of the shows on that tour


plaidplaidgirl  said about 2 years ago:

So what you are saying is that Josh Homme is way more awesome than Dananananabatman... even though he is a ranga.

I'm sure nobody wants to get involved in judgment calls over the scenario...but the truth is easy to find.


Tim_Marben  said about 2 years ago:

I heartily endorse this band/thread


Cooperative Music  said about 2 years ago:

was it not the singer/ drummer that's broken his arm though?
drums are a problem with a broken arm, hard or not.


JonBonJovial  said about 2 years ago:

They do have two drummers; possibly for this exact scenario.


mushymouth  said about 2 years ago:

1 epic song and a trip on the mic cord did it. We moved away when he stacked it. I feel so guilty for not catching him now.

Argh, same. Poor guy. And everyone's just standing around wondering if it's part of the act or not. It kind of looked like he was going to leap down and run through the crowd and got snagged on the cord as he jumped. I think.

And yeah, drumming with a broken arm sounds a bit tricky.Feel like I should chip in for a get well card or something.


Tim_Marben  said about 2 years ago:

They have two vocalists, how could one of the drummers have broken his arm?


gunshot_glitter  said about 2 years ago:

Second drummer but also co-vocalist. He swapped between the two.

DANANANANAYKROYD CANCEL REMAINDER OF AUSTRALIAN SHOWS

It was with great sadness, and an incredible amount of pain, that Dananananaykroyd were forced to cancel their headlining Sydney show last night. Drummer/vocalist John Baillie Jnr had a heavy fall on the third song into the set, breaking his arm. Tonight's show in Melbourne has also been cancelled.


lokihanns  said about 2 years ago:

sauce?

lokihanns  said about 2 years ago:

Mmm, delicious HP.


froginasock  said about 2 years ago:

sad times.


Psyclops  said about 2 years ago:

did he crai?


gunshot_glitter  said about 2 years ago:

No he was a trooper. He crouched for awhile and then eventually walked outside.


froginasock  said about 2 years ago:

Fuck yeah, Glaswegian tough.


Hazard_Man  said about 2 years ago:

I remember seeing 311 play in '97, and the drummer broke his wrist dicking around with an Aussie Rules ball before the set... drum tech filled in, mediocre set was over in 5 songs. My 17 yr old dream of rocking out to 311 shattered.

I'd still see them today if someone had the guts to tour them.


soula  said about 2 years ago:

FUCK!

had a lovely meal at the east though. guess i'll have to pick up my refund tomorrow.

another reason to hate sydney.

From DiS

Dananananaykroyd have been forced to pull the last two shows of their Australian tour after drummer John broke his arm in a crowd-diving accident during yesterday's show at the Annandale Hotel in Sydney.

The band were due to play at next Friday's Belladrum festival, and further news will follow regarding the bands future and current touring arrangements, which were only announced earlier this week.

John is currently in hospital in Sydney receiving treatment and bandmate Calum explained:

''The details still aren't really very clear. John, I think he just kind of came off the stage a bit funny and has done something pretty bad to his arm. The latest I've heard is that he's taken a bit of his elbow bone off.''  

He added:

''We couldn't really go on without John and so we stopped the show and got him medical attention as soon as possible. There was a doctor in the audience which was really cool. The kind of cliched 'is there a doctor here' thing actually worked. She looked after John for a while until the ambulance arrived.''  

With regards to prospects for future shows, Calum also said that:

''It all depends on how John's arm gets I suppose. We've not really had the chance to regroup just yet. Unfortunately we can't obviously play in Melbourne tonight which is a total shame. We're just sad that we're not able to play.''  

That does indeed sound very nasty and somewhat painful. Wishes from all at DiS for a speedy recovery and swift return to the skins for John. We'll all drink to a fast recovery!
