1993 - Dananananaykroyd
Like Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, I was attracted to this band purely because of the name, at least initially. They made the trip from Glasgow, Scotland to deliver some high-calibur live performances at SXSW and have picked up a lot of buzz from it. They’re part of the indie rock revolution of bands with rhythm. Their tempo changes, usually from fast to really fast, remind me a lot of Bad Brains, and the searing guitars and shouted choruses echo the epic feel of The Plastic Constellations. They’re all about the drums, bass, shouting, hand-claps and high-fives. Everything you do when you listen to them becomes a bit more fun. Dananananaykroyd is touring all over Europe to support their very well-reviewed new album, and hey, the lead singer’s World of Warcraft character just hit level 80.
