ASSASSINO DANINHA A.K.A.

About Me

All session musicians, the band was formed between Danny Huckridge and Ollie Parfitt in 2001, after they first met on a session for Modaji to record Flying Saucer. They went on to record together for Bugz In The Attic, Afronaught, Modaji, Phil Asher and Restless Soul, including being in the Neon Phusion band for festival appearances in Europe . It was on the Neon Phusion gigs that Ollie, Danny and Micky Moody first performed together. Ollie and Micky had been long time colleagues in the Herbaliser band and it was agreed around the time of those festivals that the trio would start recording together. In 2002 Cliff Hall was added to the line up, the studio was built and they began to write and record their new material. They record and perform individually with many different bands/artists and cover many styles of music, releasing tunes under the names ASSASSINO DANINHA and COSMOSIS , also on the 2000Black label. They like to feature guest musicians on their recordings, some of whom are listed in the band members section.
