Following on from their critically acclaimed singles ‘The Terrorist’ and ‘Merrow Song’ Nottingham’s Captain Dangerous release their 2nd single with Danqua Records after having recently toured the UK as part of their ‘Take Away Tour’, which saw them perform live in numerous town and city centres with violins, a glockenspiel, mandolin, melodica, double bass and a healthy dose of vocal harmonies.
‘I Miss You Cos It’s Monday’ is another chunk of genuinely heartfelt off kilter pop music and includes ‘B’ sides ‘Shoot Deserters’ and ‘Terry Steele’ (Take Away Version).
This release is sure to see Captain Dangerous continue their assault on the British music scene.
“Outrageously catchy melodies”
Mark Riley BBC6 Music
The band have recently received support from, and been championed by many, including BBC Radio 1 Introducing’s Tom Robinson, BBC Nottingham The Beat/Introducing's Dean Jackson and BBC 6Music’s Mark Riley, as well as XFM’s John Kennedy. Late 2009 will see the release of their debut album “The House That Jack Hayter Built” from which this track is taken.
They have, over the last three years, played alongside acts including Ash, The Magic Numbers, The Rumble Strips, Dirty Pretty Things, Lightspeed Champion and The Holloways, as well as making numerous festival and TV appearances across the UK and Europe.
The band have played well in excess of 300 gigs across the UK and have headlined some of the most important live music venues in the country including Rock City and Rescue Rooms (Nottingham), The Louisiana (Bristol), 53 Degrees (Preston), Barfly (Birmingham), 93 Feet East, Rhythm Factory, Nambucca, and The Dublin Castle (all London) to name but a few.
"Captain Dangerous are awesome.....fantastic strings and lyrics that feel completely genuine and delivered with precision."
9/10 - Die Shellsuit Die
“Record companies should be beating down the doors to snap them up before someone else does”
Retro Life Style magazine
“Hugely Engaging”
Drunken Werewolf Magazine
“Captain Dangerous are an explosive four piece art pop band from Nottingham with a frothy mélange of quirk-pop influences.”
Bugbear Bookings
In 2008 the band, sponsored by BMI Baby, embarked on a festival tour of the Czech Republic, including playing in a decommissioned Cold War-era nuclear fall out shelter 33 metres under the streets of central Prague. The band have also performed on the Levi's “Ones to Watch Tour”, the Jack Daniels JD set, and were chosen in a public vote from over 100 bands to be the opening act for the weekend long music festival to celebrate the newly reopened Market Square in Nottingham.
Captain Dangerous will release their third single through Danqua records "Everything Beautiful Reminds Me Of You" on February 1st 2010 and perform a homecoming single launch show two weeks before at Nottingham's Rock City on Friday January 14th.
