| ôAnything that does not spring from tradition is plagiarized. Begin |
| drawing and painting like the old masters; after that always do as you |
| wish, you will always be respectedö |
| Salvador Dali |
| |
| Year Long Disaster took Salvador DaliÆs words to heart when they began |
| constructing the mainframe ideas that would form their fundamental |
| musical intentions. Modifying, in their own right, the original blues |
| models of the early 1970Æs southern rock movement, Year Long Disaster is |
| more apt to play shuffles as the base backbeat and to define choruses as |
| whichever dynamic moment of the song appeals as most memorable. This |
| moment may manifest itself in a riff, a recurring vocal line, or in a |
| sonic assault stemming from sheer energy. Riffs may extend past 4 bars. |
| Lyrics may not repeat themselves. Year Long Disaster embraces the |
| humanity and simplicity in songwriting with the ability to improvise, |
| allowing the audience to be involved in moments that will never exist |
| again. |
| |
| This bandÆs work is also a reflection of what they as individuals |
| accomplish, write, and think. The pedigree of this band is complex and |
| unusual. Lead guitarist and singer Daniel Davies is the son of Dave |
| Davies of the Kinks. He was born in London and spent the first nine |
| years of his life touring the world with one of the most legendary live |
| acts of all time. At eleven, Daniel and his family moved from London to |
| Los Angeles. Three years later his parents split, and Daniel moved in |
| with his godfather and his family. Daniel lived there until his |
| graduation from Hollywood High School. He then set out on his own to |
| play music. For three years, he worked menial jobs and failed random |
| drug tests for even more menial jobs. One random April day in 2003 while |
| he was squatting in an apartment with the equally strung-out Sebastian |
| Robertson he ventured into a Hollywood grocery store to buy vodka. It |
| was there he met bass player Rich Mullins. |
| |
| Mullins had been in Los Angeles four days when he encountered Davies. |
| Mullins had just moved from Holland, and was nurturing a gorilla-sized |
| drug habit when he ran into Davies in the alcohol section of Pavilions. |
| Mullins had been a founding member of the West Virginia instrumental |
| hard rock band Karma to Burn. Karma to Burn had released three albums on |
| Roadrunner Records, toured the world extensively and opened for such |
| acts as Metallica and Pantera. Mullins left Karma to Burn to play in the |
| Dallas, Texas band Speedealer. It was a feeble attempt to geographically |
| remove himself from his addiction. In about seven months he was bandless |
| and homeless, abandoned by Speedealer on a street corner in San |
| Francisco. From there he took a plane back to Holland in another feeble |
| attempt to geographically remove himself from his addictions. A couple |
| of weeks prior to meeting Davies he had been convinced by some Dutch |
| friends to take a CD he had recorded in Holland to some industry friends |
| in Los Angeles. He arrived in Los Angeles only intending to stay one |
| month. |
| |
| Within a week of meeting Daniel they were inseparable friends living in |
| a one room apartment in Laurel Canyon, drinking two fifths of vodka a |
| day and smoking as much crack as their other friends could afford. After |
| only a month of æfriendshipÆ Daniel and Rich went to Music Cares |
| Foundation and asked for help with their addictions. They were placed |
| into CRI-Help rehab. They spent a month there together. They then spent |
| six months in a sober living halfway house. They finally moved out back |
| into the world, sober, in December 2003. |
| |
| Eleven months later Daniel and Rich saw drummer Brad Hargreaves play |
| live at the Scene Bar in Glendale with a band called Hours and Minutes. |
| They were extremely impressed with his musicianship. They got his phone |
| number and asked him if he wouldnÆt mind æjammingÆ. They had no idea |
| Brad was already a member of the eight-times platinum-selling group |
| Third Eye Blind. Remarkably, Third Eye Blind had just been cast as the |
| Kinks on the NBC show American Dreams. Hargreaves, upon learning that |
| DanielÆs father was Dave Davies, became intrigued and agreed to try a |
| couple of practices. The trio instantly bonded and Year Long Disaster |
| was born. |
| |
| The band started gigging around locally in Los Angeles and caught the |
| eye of producer Marc Needham (The Killers) who invited them to record a |
| few songs at his home studio. Using the ensuing EP as a demo they pawned |
| an old guitar, bought a van, jumped in and did three self-booked |
| national tours building up a slew of fans. After the second tour Daniel, |
| Rich and Brad teamed up with longtime friend and now squeaky clean |
| Sebastian Robertson to manage their burgeoning career. He shares with |
| Daniel his second generation rock experience as Sebastian is the son of |
| The BandÆs Robbie Robertson. |
| |
| Sebastian immediately got to work bringing down a bevy of A&R execs to |
| their Los Angeles performances. Shortly thereafter, Year Long Disaster |
| signed a record deal with Volcom Entertainment, a company that shared |
| the bandÆs artistic vision. They are currently in Tucson, Arizona |
| working with famed producer/engineer Jim Waters (Jon Spencer Blues |
| Explosion, RL Burnside) recording their first album. Year Long |
| DisasterÆs long-awaited debut is slated for release in September 2007. |
