The Dan Band

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dan Band is a band from Los Angeles, California, created by actor/comedian Dan Finnerty specializing in covers of originally female-performed pop songs, with added obscenities and swearing. They are signed to SideOneDummy Records. They are known best for their appearance in the movies Old School with Finnerty singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and Starsky & Hutch, where he sang Roberta Flack's "Feel Like Making Love" as the inappropriate Bat Mitzvah singer. They have released one album to date: The Dan Band Live. Frontman Dan Finnerty has stated that they only cover songs sung by women, however they are seen playing "Lady" by Styx in Old School'. They recently filmed a one hour concert special of their live show called Dan Finnerty & The Dan Band:I Am Woman", for the Bravo network, which was directed by McG and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. On November 21, 2006, the band released a Christmas EP called Ho: A Dan Band Christmas on the iTunes Music Store.
