Dananananaykroyd.

It's time for music to get fun. Everyone's far too serious now'adays. Everyone wants to be taken so literally.
'Oh, I'm baring my soul!'
'This song is a part of me that I am sharing with you'
Shut up, no one cares. They don't go to gigs to hear you whine about your petty romance problems. So, let's just enjoy the experience of going to a live venue, shall we?
Good.

I give you Dananananaykroyd; Glaswegian self-dubbed and quite apt genre of that of 'Fight Pop', they are one of the best live acts in the U.K. right now. Six members; Two catchy guitarists, a Futurehead-in-law bassist, a yelping attractive vocalist, an enraged drummer and a part time backing drummerererer and backing singerererer, who generally just enjoys being second priority for a lot of things in the band. Not to take anything away from him. They are the ultimate live band. I think calling them unbalanced, yet lovably social is a nice description. The band interact with their audience quite well. However, if you don't like hyperactive twenty-year old Scots screaming in your face, on your table or generally ignoring what a stage actually is, than, It's probably not for you.
Shakespeare once said 'The whole world is a stage' and I am pretty certain Dan...Aykroyd (Yes, that's where it came from) were paying quite close attention to that particular statement during their obvious array of literary escapades. The band are master showmen. They bounce off the audience brilliantly (sometimes, that statement can be taken quite literally); for example, employing them in reinventions of scene kid gig antics; The Wall Of Cuddles is quite simply a brilliant remake of a gig game.
But anyway, their live experience is certainly one to be had, and I will go no further in claiming that I am now technically an ex-drummer of the band, and I will use that claim, regardless of the circumstances around it's time-span and reasoning.

I may as well explain their sound a bit more. Think Refused's 'Liberation Frequency' but happier and maybe crossed with a bit more of a poppier version of a Tubelord song. Screams/yells, happy riffs and dancing, basically. It's fun, it's uplifting, but at the same time, strong and hard. They have an album approaching and I urge you to add it to your collection, for at least, my sake.

Thank you for your time, folk.
