Going on after 3:00 a.m. on the last night of CMW, embryonic four-piece Give Us the Daggers facilitated the most raucous Silver Dollar show since Jay Reatard last got hit with a bottle. Playing host to an orgy of crashing bodies, spilled drinks and lubricatory perspiration, the band melded Brit and classic rock influences with hints of hair, blues and dirt rock, making the result exuberant and frenetic. For their finale, a less-than-apropos cover of Tom Petty's "American Girl," much of the band ended up crowd-bound and presumably fondled. Two shows into existence and Give Us the Daggers are already rock stars.

Bio
There's no Rock without the Roll, The story of Give Us the Daggers is the archetype of the legendary rock & roll tale. Through word of mouth promotion and a series of internet released singles, Give us the Daggers have quickly become infamous for their unpredictable and frenetic live shows. Successful showcase performances at CMW (Exclaim critic's pick), NXNE and POPMTL in 2009, has garnered the band a fervent cult following. With a slew of shows being booked and a full length album due later this year many are expecting 2010 to be a big year for the band.
Armored with a rock and roll ethic and a strong belief that all you really do need is a few chords and the truth, Give Us the Daggers are well equipped for the long road ahead. And to that they say "Let us do it!"
