FRIDAY 14 JAN - DUKE OF WINDSOR
(cnr Chapel and High St), 10pm


Taking on New York City

In October, Second Dan embarked on their first shows in the United States, with gigs in New York City!

The band played some scillintillating shows at the city's premier rock venues including the hallowed halls of CBGB. The shows attracted great crowds - filled with lots of ex-pat Aussies and inquisitive locals. The response from punters and local promoters and radio stations means that Second Dan will be following up with future shows in the US in 2005.

Check out the gallery for photos from the US adventures.


Mutton

Second Dan has been working in the studio with ARIA award winning producer Chris Thompson on a recording of the live favourite "Mutton". As you know, if there is one thing that the boys cannot stand, it's a mutton dressed as lamb!!!

It has been a great year for the band, and we wanted to thank all our fans for their continued support. Next year promises to be even bigger, with the release of our album "Bringing Down Goliath" in March.


TROPFEST (Sept 23, 2007)

Second Dan is perfoming at the 2007 Tropfest, the world's largest short film festival, at the World Financial Center in Battery Park City.

Tropfest is a free, public, outdoor, annual short film festival. The festival provides the ultimate exhibition opportunity for filmmakers, giving them a chance to screen their films in one of the most unique festival environments in the world.


THE ALBUM (Apr 23, 07)

Exciting news. Second Dan have teamed up with New York City's burgeoning indie promotions, publicity and newly formed record label Organic Entertainment to release our debut album 'Bringing Down Goliath' this Fall. Organic were so impressed with us when we first approached them with the album that they decided to sign us to their new venture. Look for news and updates from both of us over the summer and the release draws near.

To start the process, we ask all our fans to fill out a small survey. As a thank you for filling in the survey, we are giving away 2 free tickets to our Living Room show with Minnie Driver and Jukebox Junkies (value $30) and a special SECOND DAN swag pack to the first 20 responses.


CRASH (Feb 4, 07)

We had one of our best ever shows last night at Crash Mansion. The night ended with 20 people (mostly lovely ladies) joining us onstage dancing to "running out of feelings". it is moments like that when you realise why you love playing live music. no barrier between you and the crowd. no inhibitions. just the power of music.

thanks to all who came down to the show last night. you put a smile on our faces.


MASTERED ALBUM (Feb 1, 2007)

We have been working hard on the new album ... and we are getting close to the finish. This weekend we spent time at Sterling Sound doing the mastering of the album. It is amazing here the songs put through the final gloss before going to print. If you have been down to the live shows you probably would have heard some of the latest tracks including, "Met a Girl"; "Forget to Remember"; "The Elephant Fell to Earth". So, get ready for the release of the album come April ...


SECOND DAN have re-entered the studio to record some new songs for their forthcoming album. The sessions were overseen by our maestro Andy Baldwin and we recorded in the awesome Stratosphere Studios - co-owned by James Iha (Samshing Pumpkins and James Schelesinger (Fountains of Wayne). Thanks so much for Deb the manager for helping us out.

The new songs are sounding great. We recorded four songs "Love and Innocence"; "Make Me Want To"; "How you Getting On?" and a cracking new version of "Running Out of Feelings".

We have now set up a studio in Williamsburg - at Renaissance Studios - to do some further work on the recordings.

Stay tuned for tales from the 'Burg ....

See some photos from the session here


See photos from Irving Plaza here.

We have been back in the studio with leading Australian producer Andy Baldwin working on our next record. Andy came to us in New York via Memphis where he had been working on an album with the legendary Sun producers.

The initial mixes of these sessions are sounding great and we feel very excited about the path we have embarked on. Songs recorded so far include The Elephant Fell to Earth, It's a Pity (you're so pretty), Met a Girl, Forget to Remember and Run and Hide.

See photos from the studio sessions here.

Dan is going back to Australia to work on vocals and mixes with Andy in early December. We will keep you updated on the progress of the record – and give you some sneak previews of the songs along the way.
