Dananananaykroyd Latest News

James was in a band called Juno, who, being a great new band once, were featured on ANBAD. Then, just before their name would have been a perfect tie-in with the movie of the same name, they split up. To get over the trauma, James writes an article painting a rosy picture of the music scene in one of the UK’s traditionally most exciting musical cities... Glasgow as a city speaks...
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...
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...

[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...
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....
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...
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...

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...
