Apparently intelligent music.
The lead singer is an ape.

Im guessing youre quoting the NME

Quoting a friend.
A friend who should know better. Is this band a new NME sweetheart? They can have it.
Dananana
are a fun rock band. Their 'lead singers' (only singers) past and present (two) are two of the friendliest people you'll meet.
They aren't The Twang but have had positive feedback from NME. Who cares, though? They have awesome songs and are awesome live.
Dananananaykroyd
are, in my opinion, one of the most exciting bands in the UK at the moment. And they have had as good as zero NME coverage. As if that should even matter anyway.
their driver ended up sleeping in the same bed as me
after a very drunken night,
they are also the nicest people ever
i love them
and they are amazingly wonderful
and im drunk but. i adore them!
best band ive haerd rthid hyear!
Too much praise
I HATE THEM NOW
the fact
that they have slipped under NME's radar is not a bad thing,tis the worst kind of music press going...clueless fuckwits not unlike the DiS reviewers
not unlike?
lol.
explain?
THEY'RE AMAZING
really need to see them live.
Btw there was a piece in the NME about them last July / August massively bigging them up.
sorry
meant to say 'just like DiS reviewers' ;0)
i got what you meant.
so, again, explain?
Good band.
They sound like they're a lot of fun live.
not my
cup of tea.
Didn't give them much of a chance though, walking out two songs into a set.
Would someone mind explaining though, apart from being 'lovely people', what is so great about the music?
its an absolutely mental
math rock pop explosion. Like a maths teacher blowing up in a dairy lea factory.
or something.
And they have two drummers. for the simple reason that its soo much louder with two. perfect. :D
yeah
i did notice and enjoy the two drummers.
But I still don't really get it.
they're
fantastic. really want to see them live sooon!
a
constant onslaught of riff changes mixed with poppyness, all round math rock and loud shouty bits followed by...urr..different shouty bits.
they're simply amazing. some dresses was such a choon!
oh fuck
it's not "math rock" is it?
I really liked them before I knew that. Gone right off them now.
what?!
jesus christ...
they are ace.
i just wish they'd do bigger tours.
he's actually
a gibbon
fact.
there's
a track of theirs on the artrocker unsigned cd free with this fortnight's issue
saw them live
enjoyed myself quite a lot, thought they were a lot better than i thought they'd be
