So aye as usual sorry I've not done this for a while. However the demise of one of the most refreshing, original and best bands to come out of Scotland for years has prompted me into action. The magnificent Dananananaykroyd today announced their split via their Facebook page and had this to say:
"We all still love each other very much. For a band called Dananananaykroyd we've done more than we ever expected or possibly even intended and we've enjoyed nearly every step of the way. We're very keen at the same time to make sure we're never compromising or giving anything less than 100% and at this juncture of our collective lives, it makes sense to go out with a bang - which is exactly what this tour will be."
I first saw them nearly five years ago and instantly fell in love with their unique brand of 'fight pop' to coin their own self-mocking genre. I saw them a few more times over the past five years and whatever the venue or occasion they were always consistently amazing. To this day they remain one of the most enjoyable bands I have ever had the privilege of seeing. The band leave behind two fantastic albums, one of the best EP's of the past decade as well as a few singles. Their last tour begins in Bristol on October 12, so aye if you've never seen them this is your last chance - DAE IT! ABC for me please. The tour concludes in Newcastle on November 12.
