The story
Double Dan consists of two Dans, that formed the basis of the
band name, and Joakim. Dan Lindgren plays the guitar and sings
while the other Dan (Eriksson) plays the bass and Joakim Ödlund
plays the guitar. Double Dan has its origin in the band
Ambassadeurs, which were put to rest when Joakim joined the
band. Ambassadeurs started out in 2003 when Dan E joined a band,
which Dan L and a drummer named Henrik had started in 1996
together with Daniel Permbo (now a member of Sambassadeur). They
were singing in their native tongue, but when Dan E joined the
band started to sing in English, the international language of
rock. Ambassadeurs recorded two critically acclaimed cd-r, which
were called on the air e.pand in the air e.p. These two records
set the standards and the band was playing some shows in the
south of Sweden and was becoming a name in the independent music
circles in Sweden.
The band is always working on new material. Since the band
members are working in different lines of business and they are
something of perfectionists when it comes to the process of
making music, the creative process takes a little longer than
for the average band. In the beginning of 2005 the Dans had been
recording some new songs in the famous Summersound Studio III in
Malmö, Sweden, with legendary producer Joakim. After working
together on several songs, the Dans decided to include Joakim in
the band, and changed the name to Double Dan. As Joakim joined
the band Henrik decided to leave the band, after serious
discussions on how the band was to record their material, on
which Henrik didnt agree with the rest of the band. Double Dan
was once again a trio. The members have been playing in several
bands during the years. Dan L has been playing in bands like
Alexis and September. Dan E has been playing in bands like
Starlet, September and has also been playing with Club 8. Joakim
on the other hand has been playing with bands like Poprace,
Starlet and is also a current member of Acid House Kings.
