A Muso's Top 10: Dananananaykroyd

Feature by Ryan Drever | 29 Apr 2009

In their few years together, this Glasgow sextet has managed to create a uniquely energetic sound (often self-described as 'Fight-Pop') and make a name for themselves - no matter how ridiculous it may seem - subsequently earning comparisons to the likes of Les Savy Fav and Fugazi. But which tunes really make them tick?

Before jetting off to Texas for his band's virginal stint at SXSW, Guitarist Duncan Robertson offers ten tracks - from Glasgow bands to personal classics - to give us some insight into the inner-workings and inspiration behind at least one sixth of the sublime mess that is Dananananaykroyd.

1. Plaaydoh - Oh Jay
2. Tiple School - I'm In Slayer
3. Macrocosmica - V For Vendetta
4. Life Without Builidings - New Town
5. Dutch Uncles - Face In
6. Los Campesinos! - We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed
7. The Mae Shi - Run To Your Grave
8. Jonathan Fire Eater - Give Me Daughters
9. Sebadoh - Spoiled
10.Kenickie - Come Out 2nite

 

Dananananaykroyd play Stag & Dagger Festival, Glasgow on 23 May.
