Dan Short

Steely Dan are amongst that privileged elite of musicians which include The Beatles and Brian Wilson, who gave up touring at a certain point in their career to become the masters of studio perfection and release albums so good that they defined an era. In the case of Walter Becker and Donald Fagan the obsessive search for the "right cut" would see them use 42 musicians on the 1980s album "Gaucho" with its title track drum backdrop assembled from 46 different takes.

Throughout his decades-long career, Dan Hicks stood as one of contemporary music's true eccentrics. While steeped in folk, his acoustic sound knew few musical boundaries. He drew on country, call-and-response vocals, jazz phrasing, and no small amount of humor to create a distinctive, albeit sporadic, body of work that earned him a devoted cult following. Hicks was born December 9, 1941, to a military family then living in Arkansas, and grew up in California, where he was a drummer in a number of high-school bands. He attended college in San Francisco, where he switched to guitar and began playing folk music. He returned to the drums, however, when he joined the Charlatans, one of the Bay City's first psychedelic bands.

Mad God is a stop motion-live-action hybrid horror film written, produced, and directed by Phil Tippett. Completed in 2021, the film was filmed over a period of thirty years. It was released on Shudder on June 16, 2022.

Capitalising on the creative momentum generated for "Fight Another Day", Dan Reed Network’s first studio album in 25 years, the band’s front man wastes no time in writing, recording and releasing his 4th solo album, "Confessions". As we listen to the album on repeat, it’s 10 tracks clearly showcase what an exceptional artist Dan Reed really is, and truly one of the most underrated of his generation.
