About Me |
|
| With life spinning out of control on tour in the UK as "The Ryecatchers", Danny and Mark decided it was time for a change...
Returning to Vancouver, Danny bumped into an old flame, Shannon, and after a few drinks she decided she would rather be in a band than a relationship with him. Danny reluctantly agreed, phoned Mark, and formed Danny Echo in the fall of 2005. And with that, Danny Echo was ready to rock!
And why not rock on? With bucketloads of experience in the music and film industries under their belts, the band has used their skills to take their songwriting, recordings, live show to the next level. Danny has worked on the special FX crew on the hit TV series Smallville for several years, so it should come as no surprise that smoke machines, projectors, smoking guitars, and fire extinguishers (?!!) have become a part of the visual assault of Danny Echo gigs. Mark has earned props as a sound mixer for television and film productions, and won a Leo Award for his role in mixing the Leo & Genie Award winning film Saint Monica. Obviously, this has come in handy in the recording studio, where Mark acts as the band's chief engineer, producer, mixer, and 5-o'clock shadow-wearin' machine. The band's enigmatic co-writer Ian Edward, has experience in rock journalism as a music reviewer/writer, which has helped to hone his compositional skills. Collectively, Danny, Mark, and Ian have had their tunes implanted in a number of TV shows and flicks in recent years, including Cold Squad, Just Cause, Show Me Yours, Zed CBC, Vancouver Breakfast TV, MuchMusic, and Saint Monica.
Since the formation of Danny Echo, the Vancouver music scene has embraced the incredible vibe of Danny Echo's rock and rollio presence. "Half the audience knows the words better than I do", Danny said at a recent Railway Club show. And even if they don't know the songs, audiences still get into the energy and sounds of Danny Echo. With influences drawing from the greats like The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Beatles, Radiohead, Oasis, and U2, Danny Echo reverberates with all that is melodic, all that is catchy, and all that is rock and roll. As Mark observed, "it's all that it should be, damn it!!!"
In between rockin' out around Canada and playing around Vancouver, the band released a 5 song EP in early 2007 (available for download at dannyecho.com). The band also released a 4-song maxi-single in May 2008, which features the dynamic power ballad ‘Tomorrow Today,’ the eerie "Madchester" rocker ‘Given Up Giving Up’, the soulful, epic ‘Help Yourself’ and the spacey melodic rocker ‘Out Of Style’. The new songs have already attracted the attention of radio programmers in Canada and the United States.
Meanwhile, the Danny Echo songwriting/recording team has produced another stunning batch of tunes. Danny Echos' first full length album (tentatively titled "Better You Than Me") is set to be released just in time for the summer festival season - but only if you behave yourselves, you spoiled little brats!
