tonight is the night that i will fall for you

when we were in america last year, there was all kinds of wild stuff happening with the studio that we were supposed to be using (a long story which includes the mafia, fire department, more mafia an breaking and entering). so at the start of our trip we had 2 days to check out new york before we got down to recording our album, 'hey everyone'.
we were in a clothes shop, and the radio was on. the song playing made all of us (we were scattered all around the store) to look up and give lots of "OMFG ARE YOU HEARING THIS?" to each other.
that song was 'fall for you' by secondhand serenade. now, every american who is reading this will know what i'm talking about straight away, but for those of you in europe (who weren't subjected to months of this song everywhere), here's what it sounds like:



now...
in the few weeks after we got obsessed with it - it constantly came on the radio on the drive to the studio, on tv, we downloaded it and got drunk and sung along - its like it was following us.
surely nothing could top that nauseating, autotuned shudderfest?
but one night in the studio we all got drunk and tried (travis from gym class heros even stopped by).
calum wasn't with us at the time so i sung it all, we played it live and you have NO IDEA how many takes it took to do the acoustic 'breakdown' part. some guy was filming it too, but we don't know what happened to it, hopefully that will show up soon - there's pouting and cigarettes and limp bizkit slam dancing.

enjoy (?)

SXSW video

I was asked to make a video of us at SXSW. Whatever was planned for it didn't come through. So here it is!

OHFT
It's been trying time behind the scenes in dananan recently. I can tell you the only thing getting us all through it is what will be our best live shows to date - glasgow on tuesday in our beloved nice n sleazy, wednesday in london in awesome, scary brixton academy - not to mention the countless festivals this summer. we are also working on some exciting stuff later in the year for the uk, australia and even japan.

lets do this! yay! x

...

Australia (not just a poor MSP song)

Good news!
My nephew can write all the numbers from 1 to 20!
Also, he won a prize for getting his work finished quickly at school.
Also, and we're going to Australia to play our band.
You know, no biggie.

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.

Y NOT FESTIVAL

We had to cancel our appearance at this years Y-Not Festival as we will be elsewhere at the time and haven't quite got the hang of this 2-places-at-1-time dealio that some bands with time machines can somehow pull off. We made a mistake and can't do it now! Oh man, we're sorry to those who might have wanted to have watched us perform rock music at that particular festival. Plus, you know, why not? Why not cancel? GET OVER YOURSELF.

(sorry)

(Y-Not Festival cancellation)

(oops)

HEY, YOU GUYS.

You know that band, Eagles Of Death Metal, right?

Yeah?

Yeah, well, we're supporting them at Brixton Academy on the 24th of June.

I guess we'll see you there, then. Give us a call if you want to meet up for a drink beforehand.
