Danny Valentine and the Meditations formed today in south London. The core of the group is psychotic poet, D.H. Valentine, handsome drumsmith Jesus Hydes and 'Devil in a Black Cab,' K. Goff. They have been joined by various visiting musicians and have morphed into assorted insect-type forms and sounds. They make pop music and write poetry and are expert sandwich makers. They live in the 19th century and have a time machine that allows them to put digital things into the digital realm. They sometimes go to Goth clubs or Golf clubs. One of them likes to jump out of planes and one of them is a plane crash.
Danny Valentine and the Meditations released their first single worldwide in 2008 - it is a double A side of Architect of My Love b/w Killing Floor and is available on itunes. The physical print has now sold out.
The next outing will be an EP entitled "The Lion, the Fish and the Bear" and is scheduled for an April 09 release. Tracklisting will include [don't think/don't feel], Queen of E, Mass Kub and Yr Jb.
