Dananananaykroyd release single 'Muscle Memory' on Jun 6th....

DANANANANAYKROYD release their brand new single ‘Muscle Memory’ TODAY! It's the first proper single from second album ‘There Is A Way’ (released next Monday, June 13th) through their very own record label, Pizza College.

After the success of their hyperactive multi-coloured-tracksuit-tastic video, the band have also today uploaded a behind the scenes glimpse of what life on video shoot is like for the six Scots.



When asked, drummer Paul Carlin described the recording process: “We got to dress up like neddy Power Rangers, play with a miniature poodle and get as close to vomiting as possible without ACTUALLY vomiting: best day ever?"

Incase you missed it, you can also see the video itself here:



The meaning behind the track is, as vocalist Calum Gunn states: "is about remembering to be yourself when things around you are changing." This follows on from the free download track ‘E Numbers’, which continues to receive radio support from Zane Lowe, Huw Stevens, Nick Grimshaw and more at Radio 1 as well as being added to the XFM playlist. They’ve already had rave reviews from festivals such as Dot to Dot and Camden Crawl and are set to continue taking the summer by storm with a packed schedule, details below.

Recorded, produced and mixed by Ross Robinson (At The Drive-In, Slipknot, Blood Brothers, Klaxons) at his house on Venice Beach, CA, ‘There is a Way’ sees Dananananaykroyd fly back into the public’s conscious with both their heaviest effort to date, but also their most positive.

About The Artist

Dananananaykroyd

Dananananaykroyd were an indie rock band which formed in 2006 in Glasgow, Scotland. The band currently consists of Calum Gunn (vocals, drums), Duncan Robertson (guitar), David Roy (guitar), Ryan McGinness (bass), John Baillie Jr. (vocals) and Paul Carlin (drums). They announced that they were disbanding on 29th September 2011. Original singer Giles Bailey left after the release of the bands first two singles and was replaced by Gunn. Drummer James Hamilton left the band after the release of their debut EP "Sissy Hits". Bassist Laura Hyde left the band in June 2009. In 2006 Dananananaykroyd released two limited edition 7" singles, "Totally Bone" and "Some Dresses" on Moshi Moshi and Jealous Records respectively. A Japan-only CD EP, collecting both singles, was later released on Kanazawa's Klee/Rallye records. Singer Giles Bailey left the group and was replaced by drummer Calum Gunn while John Baillie Jnr joined the band on drums and additional lead vocals. Dananananaykroyd released their first EP, Sissy Hits, on London-based Holy Roar Records in June 2008. Shortly after, they introduced ex-Russia drummer Paul Carlin as their new (other) drummer after James Hamilton of Errors left the band. Dananananaykroyd signed to Best Before Records shortly thereafter, and recorded their debut full-length album Hey Everyone! in the US with producer Machine. The band have toured the UK extensively with bands such as Foals and in 2009 completed a European tour with the Kaiser Chiefs. They played at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in August 2009. In June 2009, the band announced that bass player Laura Hyde had left, and would be replaced on tour by Ryan McGinness. In August 2009 during a concert in Sydney, Australia, near the beginning of the band's set, singer John Baillie Junior jumped off stage and broke his arm causing the band to cancel the remainder of their Australian tour, as well as appearances at Pukkelpop and Belladrum festivals. Baillie snapped both bones that run from the wrist to the elbow, shearing a large chunk of bone from his elbow. Emergency surgery was needed in Sydney to fix the injury, leaving four metal screws in his arm permanently. His return show (with Calum and John sharing vocals duties) was Reading Festival only 3 weeks later which the band opened, playing to 10,000+ people on the Radio 1/NME stage. Baillie has said that one day he wants to return to the venue in Sydney and continue the show from the floor where he fell and from the point in the set where it was cut short. The song "Black Wax" is featured in the highly popular football video game FIFA 10. The band are currently writing their 2nd album which has the working title of either Jimmy Shuttleworth: How Much Is Your Shuttle Worth? or We've Got Hings, due out in 2010. A few songs expected to be present on the second album have been played in their recent UK and Europe tour such as Jigsaw Rickshaw.
