'Pure rock n roll...fantastic.' XFM 'One of the most promising new bands to come out of Manchester'. Channel M 'Psychedelic Scooter-rock'. NME
'...their sound has a quality that will be enjoyed by many generations of music fans.' Guestlist Music "My life it was led living with you, on the banks of the Irk off the M62" When the second invasion of Manchester happened in the form of Pope John Paul II in 1982, The Dandretta were young children but tales of the traffic congestion that hazy summer morn still reverberate around Blackley Manchester to this day. I am just one of many who cannot help but put their faith in that which cannot be easily explained, be it a religion, a football team, or a rock n roll band. Biased? Yeah I guess so, but I like to think I am not blinded by the bonds of friendship. I've always believed that an informed world view (Sky Sports news) and a dirty imagination is the chief requisite to writing good songs. The Dandretta take a unique but effective approach to song writing; they show a deft ability to craft songs much like a pretty girl's skirt, long enough to cover the subject but short enough to keep it interesting. Upon seeing the band perform at the Late Room in May 2007 Len Fitton, a Manchester music luminary, stated that the Dandretta were the best post- Hacienda band Manchester has produced. Such comments from a receding little man (it's not just a high hairline!) who never fails to see the faults in anyone left the band both flattered and a little smug. (Len, don't beat yourself up, I believe there's a dark side to each every human soul. We wish we were Obi-Wan Kenobi, and for the most part we are, but there's a little Darth Vader in all of us). So, for The Dandretta, the goal remains to create congestion on the scale of that distant morn in 1982. They've had a go, at the legion gig (a place full of characters and crazy nut cases) in February 2007 the beer was warm and the reception cold, but the car park was full. Music has that power; a couple of good tunes and you've got a tailback weaving up the A664, stretching all the way up to Kwik Save Jon Nerk (Friend of the band, Xaverian alumni) |

Review of The Kooks support slot at the apollo, 22/04/08 |

| I thought the Kooks were on good form. The audience seemed to lap it up so don't understand the "didn't wake up for 40 minutes". Also thought it was a nice touch having a band (The Dandretta) playing ... Posted by The Dandretta on Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:49:00 PST |
