Dan and Leland's ferocious guitar playing, razor-sharp harmonies and sublimely crafted songs have been leaving listeners slack-jawed and eager for more for the past three years. Anchored by aggressively catchy hooks and intelli-pop ear-candy production, the Los Angeles based eclectic-rock duo has been gaining momentum since the release of their acclaimed 2006 acoustic debut album, New Directions. Their second album, The Rush of Sights and Sounds (2007), marks D&L's departure into the realm of shimmering electric guitars and pile-driving drums (courtesy of Nate Morton- CBS's Rockstar, Vanessa Carlton, BT). Described as an "...extremely entertaining album, a feast for the senses full of pleasant surprises....", The Rush of Sights and Sounds establishes Dan and Leland as "...Top 40 hitmakers from a parallel universe...." (The Daily Vault). Driven to be prolific and unable to box their music into a single, limiting genre, D&L's live album, If The Moon Was Full, which features upright bass and percussion alongside their dueling acoustic guitars, debuted in the top 75 iTunes folk albums this September. They are currently finishing writing their next highly anticipated studio album, which can be expected in 2009. With numerous self-promoted tours under their belts, this wholly independent act has been sharing their music with an increasingly wide and receptive audience all over the country. Performing as an acoustic duo, an acoustic band, or the full electric rock band, D&L consistently deliver ground-breaking pop-rock smashes with "saintly harmonies and reflective lyrics" (Music Connection) that will stay with you long after they have left your ears in ecstasy.

I'm looking forward to having Leland join me on stage tomorrow night at Genghis Cohen with some his dastardly flatpicking exploits. The fun starts at 10...
Looking forward to seeing Dan and Leland at The 4th Annual Aspen Summer Party which is all about good music and everyone having a great night of fun! The 650 people in attendance last year, will attest to that. Dan and Leland and some other great bands will provide the live music but of course the main attraction will be YOU! Go to www.elegalworld.com/friend.htm for discount tickets and we'll see you there!
Have a great time in Chicago, fellas! It's a pity you won't be at Genghis Cohen on Monday, June 15th to see me and John Craigie perform (subtle, right?)... We'll see you when you get back. - Doug
