It was a while ago that DiS declared Dananananaykroyd to be the "best live band in the UK right now", and on Monday night's evidence that's a mantle they've kept with aplomb ever since. Their DiScover show at The Harley was a perfect example of how utterly brilliant live music can be, if only the participants put a little effort into making it so. And through a combination of blood, sweat and (walls of) cuddles, that's precisely what Danana... did - their headline set left us all grinning like fools and sweating like rapists.
Support band Pulled Apart By Horses gave 'em a good run for their money, though, not least in the semi-naked indie-boy with guitar stakes. Tunes aplenty, too. Here's some pictures courtesy of DiS snapper Gary Wolstenholme - apart from the last two, which I took after things got a little too hairy at the front for him to be swinging thousands of pounds worth of lenses at...
DiScuss: were you there? Did you enjoy it as much as we all did? Is your face somewhere on this page? Are you coming to the Christmas special on December 8? Or Manchester next week?

Spectacular shots Gary
I love a white ceiling for bounce flash, you've caught some excellent moments!
yay
I'm in a few :)
ace
Pulled Apart by Horses are playing down here in london soon.. am looking forward to it. i think.
Am I that ugly DiS?
Anyway, this was easily the best one yet.
Gig of the year!
If not century! So much fun. Danana blew me away and Pulled Apart by Horses totally caned it. Never seen them play so well Amazing bands.
Apart from my pleasure at being in the main pic
I have to say this is the third time i've seen Danananana and they have blown me away each time. Defo worth the best band in Britain tag. Can't wait for the album. But Danananana are only partly about the songs, mostly they are about the sheer joyousness of losing yourself in live music. Long may they reign.
Amazing shots
hopefully I'll get a chance to see both bands at the Bonefest in December.
wow
Sweaty stuff.
Nipple-tastic
My little head is in the main pic looking a bit unconscious.
Best gig I've been to in AGES, and I think Calf By Calf deserve a mention too!

So we're all in agreement then?
This was literally the best thing ever.

I actually love them
with proper love.
Thanks for listening.
It's okay
He's a troll, ignore him.
Is that the real reason behind the name?!
Can't believe I didn't ask...
this gig was
a real gig with live music and sunflower oil. thanks for kind words. lets do it again. again. i like. hi.
it felt like sunflower oil..........
and looked like it. but it was just alcohol and sweat dripping thru my skin for an hour.
