[edit] History
Dananananaykroyd was formed in January 2006 when the former band of members James Hamilton and David Roy, 'Multiplies', disbanded.[2] Joining with other musicians from the Glasgow music scene, they formed the original line-up. They have so far released two 7" singles on English labels Moshi Moshi and Jealous, with a Japan-only release on CD collecting both singles together following later. In December 2006, Dananananaykroyd played a self-organised charity gig at Glasgow's Oran Mor venue, which was their last gig before changing to the present line-up.[3] Since then, the band have recorded their upcoming EP, Sissy Hits, for release in 2008, and are currently readying a full album. They also played a live session on Vic Galloway's Radio 1 show.
