Dan Andriano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dan Andriano (born June 27, 1977) is the bassist and co-vocalist (alongside vocalist/guitarist Matt Skiba and drummer Derek Grant) for the punk band Alkaline Trio. Formerly the bassist for the ska-punk band Slapstick and singer/bassist for Tuesday, Andriano joined the band after original bassist Rob Doran left in late 1997. For Your Lungs Only, a four-song E.P., was the first release to feature Andriano on bass. Andriano would begin writing songs with Alkaline Trio beginning with the band's first L.P., Goddamnit. Andriano has played bass and sang on every Alkaline Trio release since.
Andriano's songwriting style contrasts but complements that of the more metaphorical and raspy sound of fellow vocalist Matt Skiba and together create Alkaline Trio's unique sound.
Andriano was also the bassist and vocalist for the punk band Tuesday, formed of three out of seven ex-members of Slapstick (each band releasing one album each). He has also released a split EP with former Alkaline Trio drummer Mike Felumlee.
Andriano's voice has been compared to that of "a young Elvis Costello."
Recently (2004), Dan Andriano played bass on 'God Don't Make No Trash / Up Your Ass With Broken Glass' by The Falcon. Along with Dan, The Falcon is made up of members of The Lawrence Arms. The Falcon released their debut full-length 'Unicornography' on September 26th 2006.
