PITCHFORK
Exciting! You could try watching our new video on the Pitchfork website? Also: we just played in Slovakia. It was pretty wild. John is in a wheelchair. That’s all.
Black Wax
Hey everyone! Here’s the video for our new single Black Wax. GOOD DOGGY. (I maintain that it’s not as good as my ‘Middle Eastern Stills’ version.) Black Wax from Best Before Records on Vimeo.
Offset Festival
Dananananaykroyd, Die! Die! Die!, Future of the Left, Kasms and Rolo Tomassi at the one festival? Surely not. Infact, I almost don’t want to write anything about the East London artrockfest that is Offset, as my teeth are clenched together with jealous rage. I got a message through my last.fm account detailing who and what the fuss was all about, only to realise that it was taking place...
Buzzworthy??? Or Not???
Who: DANANANANAYKROYD Location: Glasgow, Scotland elbo.ws Ranking: N/A (surprisingly) Thoughts: Every music festival seemingly pushes a couple of bands to the forefront of everyone’s playlists, and of course SXSW ‘09 has been no different. A couple of bands used their time in Austin to create quite the buzz for themselves but some of the loudest buzz of all has been reserved for...

Dananananaykroyd MP3s

Dananananaykroyd assault our eardums (in a good way) for the second time in as many weeks
I’m usually reluctant to write about the same band twice in a very short period, but when a second Dananananaykroyd track fell into my inbox, how could I resist? I’ll save you the blurb from my Great British Hopes piece a couple of weeks back, and just encourage you to listen to Chrome Rainbow below. Somehow it manages to be louder, more shouty and faster than the song I posted...
Great British Hopes: Dananananaykroyd
Talk about your unwieldy band names. Getting the right amount of anananana is bad enough, but then there’s the double header of Aykroyd not being the simplest name to spell either. The funny thing is that the music fits the name. If you’d asked me beforehand what I’d think a band called Dananananaykroyd would sound like, I’d go with loud and fast. And that’s exactly...
NEW SINGLE!
WOW, IT’S OUR NEW SINGLE ‘BLACK WAX’! WOW, IT’S THE OFFICIAL VIDEO TOO! I’M GONNA PUT IT ON CALUM’S REDDMANGO MP3 PLAYER!
Favours For Sailors
[Photo Credit: Lucy Johnston] Myspace // "I Dreamt That You Dreamt That I Loved You In My Dreams" [Audio] Favours For Sailors may hail from London, but it’s obvious that they were raised on American indie rock. Their tunes recall the likes of Pavement or Weezer, but with a penchant for big pop moments. It’s music that’s made for playing at top volume on the...
Dananananaykroyd - Chrome Rainbow (Album Sessions Version)
You’re unlikely to find a more exuberant band than Glaswegian ‘fight-pop’ sextet Dananananaykroyd. Granted, their name is terrible, but once you’ve got it down (there are four ‘n’s, two ‘y’s) it’s a perfect match for lunatic guitar workouts that burst songs at the seam, vocal hups ‘n yelps adding to the sense of bright-eyed delirium....

Offset Festival 2009 by Charlie Ingham
Photo: Charlie Ingham Offset Festival: 2 days in Essex, plenty of bands to see from the unusual No Bra to the headliners The Horrors and everything in-between - Offset has to be the coolest festival this summer. It actually felt that this weekend was the last weekend of summer. Let’s get one thing out of the way first, there was no mud, no rain, no wellies, no rain coats. Although...
