I was wondering if maybe any of you instructors out there may love this band (D.A.D - Disneyland after Dark)....I Do and was wondering if maybe we could get a lesson on thier style. In particular I love the sounds and style they produced on the no fuel left for the pilgrims cd. Songs like sleeping my day away , grow or pay ,girl nation ..and Laugh n a Half ..Is it a possibility to get a style lesson from these guys?

They weren't huge like AC DC however They probably should have been bigger..its probably a record label or something...they were prime in the 80's ..but very little known. I heard them once and thought they were the coolest..then i started having my friends listen to them..they loved them as well...everyone I have ever had listen to them has thought they were pretty good back then...so I must think its all in the promoting. The best part about thier sound is its like rock n roll with a odd but melodic old country twist to it...like the theme to bonanza or some wild west show... I get a kick out of that twist really.

Heres a vid for anyone else who's wondering what I am talking about...the intro has that guitar with the western feel to it

apparently though, they did manage to get a few fans outside.. it's awesome..

The band started back in '82, so they have quite a number of years on their backs..

btw.. this is the band that has that guy with all those wicked bass's

they got sued by Disneyland by having the name Disneyland after Dark so now its just DAD

EDIT: yeah it is them with the weird bass played(he cut two strings of his bass for some reason)
