It's dirty punk rock with all the fat cut out. If you don't get it, then go fuck yourself. Let me clear some shit up right now, DAN is not anyone in the band's name. We are named after John Goodman's greatest role of all-time, Dan Connors from Rosanne.

It all started mid 2009 when a local freaky musician, known as Dables got together with the punk/funk/lofi psychedlia weirdness of The Albino Porch Monkeys and over many bong hits and beer cans, potato chips, and camradrie, the three guys: David Walker, Sid Id, and Clayton Marx decided to form a new band.

This brings us to the two DAN mission statements:

1.) We aims to piss you off. We want you howling at the sky in anger and turmoil after listening to DAN. We want to upset the rest of your day with horribly catchy racket that you can't get out of your head no matter how hard you try. We want your ears to bleed and we play LOUD AS FUCK.

2.) We aims to write whatever the hell we want. If we want our songs to be 6 seconds long, then by god we will write a 6 second song about titfucking. We heed to no religion, sex, orientation, race, or culture. We hate them all and we thank those who don't laugh at themselves sometimes are assholes! We will never be censored for any reason, despite those who may think so. They can suck it! We will write whatever kind of genre we will feel like, we will fart in microphones and call it music if we see the need to do so, which is a good idea and we should put fart songs on the third album.

DAVID WALKER-guitar,etc
CLAY MARX-bass,etc
SID ID-vocals,etc

Our first album came out September 2009 and is titled "Magic Mountain". It is the definition of self-indulgence. It's pretty funny though even though we were super stoned the entire recording.

Our second album was recorded in August 2009, but we lazily didn't release it until early 2010 and is called "The Whatever EP". It is our experimental, free-form jam album. 6 tracks clocking in at almost a full hour. Good luck getting through that noisy weird-ass shit!

Our third album came out Spring 2010 and is called "Grandparents Forever". It is a return to our short, abrasive, psychedelic punk rock style. DAN agrees that it's better then the first album and we worked harder on it.

This is the end of "The Basement Trilogy". Our first 3 albums were all recorded in Sid's parent's house's basement on the same Tascam Portastudio dubbed "Mr. Tascam". The Basement was a stinky, cat-infested, no air conditioning, hippie dungeon. At least 50 different people came through that place and got fucked up and hung out or jammed with us during the 2 years that they lived there. And then Sid moved, and we lost our practice space.

Our fourth album, which we starting recording right after Sid moved, titled "Honey Berry Surprise" still isn't finished. Why? Because we got about 10 songs in and then some stupid shit went down. First off, it was hard to practice in our new house because it's in a garage in a neighborhood and people don't like us being loud and we get shut down a lot. Secondly, David and Sid got into an argument over a chick because they are both stupid. Thirdly, Clayton got busted with weed by the cops, got kicked out and moved to the other side of Greenville and was without a car. Sadly, we went on an indefinite hiatus for over a year.

BUT, in Fall of 2011, David and Sid kissed and made up and Clayton has a ride to Simpsonville to practice now, so by The Beard of Odin, DAN shall continue...

UPDATE: DAN called it quits in mid 2012, RIP DAN 2009-2012. I dug around on Mr. Tascam until I could find all the songs that we finished and now they are released here on soundcloud as "Honey Berry Surprise". We played 3 shows during our run, two in Fountain Inn and one in Greenville. THUS CONCLUDES THE STORY OF DAN. CHEERS DUDES!

Beach
D.A.N Lyrics

부드러운 거품 파도와
비슷하게 일렁이는 맘
무엇이 날 바꿔 놓은걸까
I am gonna sunny beach
I love you babe
I give up 잔잔하게 chill
거센 바람에 답해 노는 파도인 난 안돼 but
갖고 싶은게 생기고 난뒤
거칠었었던 내 행동들을 꾸짖어 미워져
바다에 햇볕이 반짝

비쳐 마치 별같아
널 보는 나의 눈동자
되어버린걸 Im sunny beach
Ah 너를 안고싶어 너를 담고싶어서 날 내려놔
부족하지만 나는 되고싶어
항상 널비추는 바다가 될거야
for our better love
뭔가 빠르게 다가와 반응했을때
평소와는 다르게
내심장은 떨리고 몸은 얼어붙고
정신은 나가있어
하던대로 해
내가 왜 너 하나땜에
내모습을 바꿔야돼
하면서도 난 담겨
너란 beaker에 액체
바다에 햇볕이 반짝
비쳐 마치 별같아
널 보는 나의 눈동자
되어버린걸 Im sunny beach
Ah 너를 안고싶어 너를 담고싶어서 날 내려놔
부족하지만 나는 되고싶어
항상 널비추는 바다가 될거야
for our better love
