Hey Everyone,

It is our sad duty to inform you that Laura is no longer playing bass in Dananananaykroyd.
The only way the band can continue is if every member is on the same page musically and that each member's efforts and passions are towards making us the most rocko band possible.

We'd like to add that we love Laura and wish her all the best and we will miss hanging out with her all the time.

In the meantime, our friend Ryan McGinness will be joining us on bass for our tours this year, so be sure to come over and say "hiya, pal" to him at shows.

DANANAN x x x x x

What happened to the wonderful debate that was going on here? Oh how I love to see people talking about things openly.

OK, if it's true...why'd ya sack her?
If it's not...why did she leave?
Not trolling, not anonymous, just interested.

Well we don't want to air our slightly grubby laundry here.

It would be one sided, make no one look good, and it's not even half as juicy as you might expect.

In the end I hope everyone gets that it was for the sake of the band, and this way you'll get to hear our second album.

Unknown said...

The truth will come out, and the truth will hurt you greatly.

Stinky Man said...

Lauras "friends" really are a frightening bunch.

Seriously, if you're a friend of Laura, do her a massive favour and act like a grown up.

Unknown said...

Rich coming from the guy who wasn't grown up enough to sack her to her face. Or do it himself...

Stinky Man said...

You don't have the slightest clue about what you're talking about. This is 100 percent (!) between Laura and the band and not one other person will ever, EVER understand the ins and outs, whether they think they do or not. I'm sorry you feel the need to hide and throw around your tiny, cryptic, biased view of this news on her behalf without having even a sniffter of a clue. I feel sorry for you, i really do.

Unknown said...

Well she told me what happened, so I'd say I have a pretty big clue.
You could do the decent thing and admit it instead of trying to keep people guessing.

Stinky Man said...

A pretty big, one-sided clue isn't nearly enough, im afraid. Whether you truly believe it is or not.

As Duncan said, we wont air our grubby laundry in public.

I'm sure she's very proud of you, but please, this is between her and us.

Why does everyone want to know what really happened ? As David said, THIS IS NOT OUR BUSINESS !

See u next month guys, bloody can't wait :)

Laura seemed to a nice person but I always thought that she was not very well in the band, she seemed to have a different mood than the rest of the members.

Anyway, it's life. hope you continue to create nice musics ;)

Good luck for your future dananananaykroyd and also good luck Laura!

Dave said...

oi oi, bring laura back, RYAN IS SHIT!

Anonymous said...

Shurrup Dave, Ryan is great! A fantabulous bassist...is that the correct spelling?! Also a pretty cool guy.

Anonymous said...

Yet again, another Glasgow band getting all precious before they've even got anywhere.Laura should have stayed or you should explain why she's gone. Her Bass playing was solid and went well with your guitar sound.

Stinky Man said...

Laura should have stayed ...OR... we should tell some anonymous goon with too much time on his hands why she was sacked... OH GOD THE DECISIONS.

Anonymous said...

i hear she was fired because you wanted a bassist who could play better, which is fine, but i also hear you were cowards and sacked her by email, framing it that you did it with her interests at heart, which isnt so fine

kierand said...

Not interested in the politics but happy that Dananananaykroyd is going to continue.

See you at Offset guys! x

Stinky Man said...

If you seriously think that's a meltdown, you need to get out more! Haha. Things have never been better :)

Stinky Man said...

But yeah, glad you read it! Delete..

Anonymous said...

Funny that David told someone else to act like a grown up, then posted a pretty bitchy rant, then deleted it. That's heavy grown up right?

Stinky Man said...

On my blog. With my name attached. Plus, i can bitch all i want. I never claimed to be mature. Haha.

Oh look, a "pretty bitchy rant"!!!

(GO GET LAID)

Charlotte said...

Will this ever stop seriously?? Damn, "anonymous" u say that the guys aren't able to explain why Laura left the band as they're cowards... Just look u ahah! Too ashamed to write ur real name tsssss. Sorry but David is rite, time for some of u to grow up...

And Dave, have u seen Ryan play live yet to say such things? Of course u've not... Fantabulous bass player as someone said before and a very very cool guy!

Stinky Man said...

It's all good. I know who this dude is. He's literally missing everything cool and will probably die angry, so it's all a bit of a laugh really! :)

Charlotte said...

I guess you're rite David but I can't help replying when I read such rubbish, useless and pueril comments xx
