Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males are an Australian band from Melbourne, Victoria. They are best known for the falsetto vocal stylings of lead singer Dan Kelly, who is the nephew of iconic Australian musician Paul Kelly. The band gained greater press coverage in mid-2006 when their single "Drunk on Election Night" - a reflection on the disillusionment many experienced during the evening of the Australian legislative election, 2004 - was hand picked by Neil Young to be included in his "Living With War Songs of The Times."
Their sophomore album, Drowning in the Fountain of Youth, was awarded Album of the 2006 by the Melbourne-based Inpress magazine. In early 2007 the band announced they would be breaking up for an undecided amount of time so the individual members can focus on other projects.
