Daan (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daan is a Belgian band and soloproject, formed by Dead Man Ray member Daan Stuyven. When playing live, it consists of:
- Daan Stuyven (lead and guitar)
- Steven Janssens (guitar)
- Otti Van Der Werf (bass)
- Isolde Lasoen (drums)
- Jeroen Swinnen (synthesizer)
- Gregory Frateur (backing vocals)
The first album bearing the "Daan" label, "Profools", is released in 1999. It's a compilation from various tracks recorded by Daan Stuyven between 1996 and 1999. The Dead Man Ray rock-influence is obvious, though this album already contains some electro.
The second album, "Bridge Burner", is released in 2002 and their big breakthrough. The biggest hit, Swedish Designer Drugs, marks the beginning of a career in electronic music. At the same time, Dead Man Ray decides to take some time off, and Daan Stuyven is able to focus on his soloproject.
They carry on making electronic music and with adding kitsch, their third album "Victory" is released in 2004. Again, the album is a huge success, including the hit singles "Victory", "Addicted" and "Housewife". It quickly achieves golden status, and Daan receives the Zamu award for best album in 2004.
In the summer of 2005 Daan releases Type Ex Ex Type, a single containing two songs: Type Ex and Ex Type.
Daan Stuyven is also a popular soundtrack composer for indie films. In the fall of 2005 "Cinema", a compilation album of his soundtrack compositions, is released.
In 2006, Daan releases a DVD named Camera, with a concert filmed by the audience.
