About Me

Music & Lyrics by DAN PETERSON Copyright 2007, All Rights Reserved(ASCAP)............................................. ................................... .."http://photobucket.com" target="_blank" .. .......My name is DANO. I'm a singer/drummer/songwriter from Waukesha Wisconsin by way of Hollywood. My band is 'THE HOT VOLLEYS', a 'Rockapunkabilly' band with my sons Shayne and Jeffrey. The noise we make is rockin', raw, simple, and melodic. Minimal rehearsing, one take usually, and 'production' is Lo-Fi and done while laughing.................... Our CD 'NeverMind the Bullets' on our own SLIPSHOD RECORDS is now available ITunes, Napster & Snocap! To hear more songs check out; http://www.myspace.com/hotvolleysband .................... I spent alotta years as a drummer/singer in Southern California. I played with a million musicians wherever there was a place to plug in. Had a blast, but I used up all my fun tickets, and got sick of LA... Eventually, I moved back to my hometown near Milwaukee Wisconsin. It is here I found the coolest gal on the planet. We raised a diabolical tribe, and I'm finally figuring out what matters.......... I write and record my own stuff. My sons help give the songs life- They are amazing players. My entire family are my favorite humans to hang out with..... ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------I am Stage Manager for Beau Geste Productions. We do BAMFEST aka the Belleville American Music Festival (Belleville, WI-Check out WWW.BAMFEST.NET).I also do main stage production for other music festivals..

My Interests

... .. ..DANO/vox, drums, gits, keys creating music, drumming, rock & roll in all it's forms, 1950's-1970's vintage pop-art, photography, comedy, indy movies, noisy casinos, feeding the critters in my yard... but most of all I love hangin' out with my family...wife Josie, my daughter Melanie, my sons Shayne, Jeffrey, and Alan. They all are crazy, sarcastic, stubborn, twisted. We are of one mind- we don't take any shit from anyone- and they all make me laugh till I'm sick, and they make me absolutely grateful to be alive.......................................son-JEFFREY/ Gits & vox ... .. ......son-SHAYNE/ gits & vox.. .. ..

Anyone who gets that this is just a brief, wild ride so laugh, love, & lighten the fuck up....................................... ... .. ...
