Profile Generator"Music as comforting and sticky as an ice cream on a hot summers day"- Everett True (Plan B)
Das Wanderlust are an x-piece wrong-pop band. That is to say that there is an indeterminate number of them, and that their attempts at writing pop songs often come out sounding a bit 'wrong' (but in a very 'right' way).
They are based in (but do not all originate from) Teesside in the North East of England.
Das Wanderlust think that most music is pretty boring, so they try to have as much fun with theirs as possible. They’re not really worried about looking or sounding cool either, and a lot of people don't seem to know what to make of them.
Despite this, they have recorded sessions for a few big radio stations like XFM, 6music and Radio 1 (at Maida Vale), received some very nice reviews from people like Plan B, Artrocker, NME, and The Guardian (and the odd not-so-nice review!), and have played all over the shop - touring with Maximo Park & Art Brut, at festivals like Latitude and Eurosonic (again, for Radio 1), and in any number of weird, grotty little DIY venues in squats/art centres/barns/dungeons around the UK & Europe.
So far the band have released two singles on 7", 'The Orange Shop' (named by 6music's Marc Riley as his No.1 single of 2006), and more recently 'Sunday School' - released through Fierce Panda's little sister label Cool For Cats. Their debut album is finished and will be out soon. Yes.
