Over the past four years, Dan has perhaps been better known as a drummer. His real job is a songwriter. 2017 saw Dan stepping onto centre stage; performing under his own name and calling upon a host of musicians from the South London music scene and beyond to complete the line up for his backing band. Dan and his band have played a consistently exciting string of live shows in the UK including a headline gig at The Sebright Arms, and numerous support slots at the infamous Windmill in Brixton. The collection of songs written for Dan’s debut album were mostly done so between Paris and London during a long, difficult summer crowded with personal loss and intrepid soul searching. They paint a picture of city life, and offer a keyhole glimpse into an intricate and fragile heart. Dan's sound has been described as "Quintessential surrealist Anglo – pop”. Echoes of Echo & The Bunnymen and ‘Rubber Soul’ era Beatles entwine with lo-fi sensibilities that nod towards The Go Betweens, Syd Barrett and The Clean.
