dan le sac’s mp3 mini rant
YO! the dan le sac remix of the Maccabees “No Kind Words” is out today as part of the “Can You Give It” Single release! You can grab it from itunes and most good record stores like recordstore! You can have a listen, if you are interested, on the danlesac.co.uk website.
Right now the dirty commercial pluggin is over how about you have a look at this picture of me with a balloon. Nice.
About 3 years ago i quit a design job for a very big evil company to do the dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip thing, other than the odd polaroid for the Angles internal artwork I haven’t really got down to creating anything visual in a very long time. When I set up this blog it wasn’t meant to be just about music, I was planning to use it for design and art too but time just seems to get in the way.
Anyway in the last few days i seem to have actually found some time to do something with my eyes not just my ears. Here are a couple of nigh finished bits:
Me! (myspace.com/danlesac)
Bernard Dolan (myspace.com/bernarddolan)
First up I’ve gotta break some bad news, it is true last Summer I, dan le sac, cheated on Scroob and went in the studio with someone else, I know it was wrong but I just couldn’t help myself, she was just so talented! 
To continue this Music as a Marriage metaphor I even had an illegitimate child with Ms Anni T under the name of “Wasnotwas”! Long story short the KID A single “Wasnotwas” is out today on TheLab! You can nab it on 
SWEET!
But don’t worry this hasn’t spelt the end for dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip, in fact whilst working hard on the next LP we’ve even managed to squeeze out a lovely remix of Bat For Lashes “What’s A Girl To Do” which will feature on her single “Pearl’s Dream” on June 22nd, Pip even laid down a few verses for it!
First new mix for a while, kinda downbeat and a little dirt in places… careful of the swears!

Why are somethings so difficult? I thought the internet was meant to make it easier to disseminate information? So why i found out that Passion Pit have pulled out of the Rob da Bank & Friends tour last night when the rest of the world knew 2 weeks ago i don’t know! Anyway enough about label politics here’s the info…
From what i can gather Ebony Bones, Rob da Bank and Myself are still in but not all the dates are going ahead, the dates still happening are as follows:
MAY
09 - Trinity Ball, Dublin
14 - Orange Rooms, Southampton Cancelled
16 - O2 Academy, Bristol (including DJ Yoda and DJ Derek)Cancelled
Its a shame as i was really looking forward to seeing PP but the remaining gigs are still going to be bangers! Southampton is Robby’s home town and with Yoda on in Bristol tings should be sweet.
UPDATE 14/5/09 – Guess what? Yes indeed 2 more dates were cancelled! Ebony Bones had to pull out for one reason or t’other so this 6/7 date tour ended up being 1!
