Artist Information

Biography

"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 endeavors to forge their own musical identity.

Chucky Danger's new self-titled album 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 hook after hook.

In support of this album, Chucky Danger is planning the ongoing activities of one of its most ambitious tour schedules 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, rehersals are taking place, production ideas are in full swing, all dealing with the tour.

Sounding like Franz Ferdinand and moving like the Talking Heads, this group put on a real show, complete with fantastic tunes and stage presence, and enough charisma to draw more than 300 fans by the end of its too-short time on stage... you couldn't help but feel that their kind of magic was the true reason to go to Warped - the off chance that you might discover something great."
