New EP 'Departure' Out Now!

About Me

.. The Dan Carroll Band released their new five track EP ‘Departure’ on September 8th 2007 through Dusk Records.Metaphorically named and embraced, ‘Departure’ heralds the next step in a growing musical journey. No longer simply a solo project for Dan, the band is steering a new creative ship.The Dan Carroll Band includes Jules Keshan on drums, Brad Hosking on keys and Stevie Whittington on bass.The band enlisted the help of Anthony Lycenko to produce the group’s most cohesive studio effort to date. Most noted for his production work with Pete Murray, Anthony and the band recorded on a typically independent, shoestring budget. Tracked, mixed and mastered in Australia between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast, the result is five tracks of delicate distinction.Initial pre production moulded the songs into breathing tasty bites rich in piano and acoustic guitar.Dan “It was a definite focussed effort from start to finish. From initial eight track bedroom demos to the final master we always held ourselves back from over doing it, the idea was always less is more.”The band is looking to build on its previous release ‘Hit the Low Notes High’, a mini album that entered the AIR independent chart in Australia in its first week and received solid radio support around the country.A versatile live act, the Dan Carroll Band has performed at the Big Day Out, the Brisbane Valley Fiesta and with a long list of exceptional touring acts including Pete Murray, Missy Higgins, Lisa Marie Presley, Alex Lloyd, The Whitlams, Eskimo Joe, Dallas Crane and the Hoodoo Gurus. The band maintains a solid presence on the live circuit in South East Queensland.Departure Produced, engineered and mixed by Anthony Lycenko Mastered by Paul Blakey @ 12th & Vine Post Recorded at Rockinghorse Studios Byron Bay & Little Wing Studios Gold Coast.Track Listing 1 The One 2 I Need You 3 Green 4 Cool Enough 5 Only if You Need
