“My new favorite Canadian band, Chucky Danger… put on the most entertaining show I’ve seen in a long time.”|- Abby White, Performing Songwriter Magazine, Nashville, TN. Three years and counting… and this young Canadian band has moved quickly; with over two hundred performances this past year, Chucky Danger has already retired it’s first touring van. Their music and live shows have been described by critics as “…delightful hook-laden melodies like the Beatles”, to “the Police (classic era) on speed”, to|“sounding like Franz Ferdinand and moving like the Talking Heads.” Flattering as these comparisons may be, the band has its own musical identity. Chucky Danger’s new self-titled album, to be released in Canada on October 30th, was recorded with 2007 Grammy Award winning producer Danny Blume of GoodAndEvil. The recording process was nomadic, conceived in the legendary locales of Woodstock(NY), Montreal, New York City, and Egmont Bay, PEI(CAN). It features a wide array of vintage accoustic, electric, and bass guitars, layered vocals, dynamic percussive sounds, and innovative song-writing. In support of this album, Chucky Danger is planning one of its most ambitious tours to date. The band will be on the road for three months performing over fourty shows before taking its first rest at home. In preparation, rehearsals are taking place, production ideas are in full swing, all dealing with the tour. |
