Hailing from the frontier lands of coastal Qld and now a long term resident of inner Melbourne, Dan Kelly has forged an intricate and humorous path into the hearts and minds of Australian music lovers over the last 6 years. His two E.Ps and two long players with indie supergroup The Alpha Males ( ‘…Sing the Tabloid Blues’ (2004) and ‘Drowning in the Fountain of Youth’ (2006)) have garnered rave reviews, 5 Aria nominations, an Inpress 2006 Album of the Year Award plus high rotation airplay on JJJ, ABC and Community Radio everywhere. Dan’s hyper-narrative and melodic indie rock opuses have earned him the title of ‘the thinking woman’s hedonist’, particularly amongst the anarcho feminist wing of the CWA.

Of late Dan has been wandering the wilderness in a sack cloth and flying goggles seeking half truths and songs for his new long player to be released in mid July 2010.. This album, entitled 'Dan Kelly's Dream' was recorded over the summer of 2009/2010 in country Victoria and in London (it was winter there) with engineers Burke Reid and Aaron Cupples. Dan recorded said opus with a new group called 'Dan Kelly's Dream Band' consisting of members of Ground Components and Augie March. Dan is very happy to have put down his Ukulele and started playing proper sized guitars again. He enjoys lap swimming, listening to Krautrock and dining with librarians wherever possible.

Dan Kelly’s Dream is out July 9 through Shock…
