Assuming you like them, that is. Do you prefer the country rock early-early, the hard rock early, the metal middle, or the pop rock later. Although I like each, I think I might be partial to the late stuff. Everything Glows is excellent. Though Helpyourselfish is awesome, as well. [img]wink.gif[/img]
1989-1991 ERA: NO FUEL LEFT FOR THE PILGRIMS/RISKIN' IT ALL
No Fuel Left For The Pilgrims is the only album I've got. Although on my copy, that title only appears on the gas can in the cover pic. The spine of the cd cover only states the original bandname 'Disneyland After Dark'. Is this rare, or is the album actually s/t? It's on Medley Records.
I think you've either got a rarity, Stacey, or a bootleg. Check for copyright dates. [img]wink.gif[/img]
I like "No Fuel" a whole bunch.
"Riskin'" is a cool album, with "Bad Craziness" being a super cool tune.
What I heard after that sucked, but that "Soft Dogs" album is not too bad.
Personally, I agree with Marky on this one. I've got some of the newer stuff, and to me, it's just not as "fun" as the earlier albums, which is what made me like them in the first place. That, and they have a very unique sound...
I'm sure my version of 'No Fuel..' is legit. It was given to me by someone who worked for a record company at the time. Rather than having D*A*D on the cover, it's got the original 'Disneyland After Dark', before Walt Disney got them to change their name.
I'm not home for a week or so now, but I'll definitely check when I get back.
Anybody else like the other version of D.A.D.? That being Dawn After Dark featuring Howard Johnson on vocals. I have the 12" "Maximum Overdrive" and have to say that it is a GREAT friggin' song and always wished that they had done a full length.
Haven't heard it, Carl. What's it like?

No I have not heard those.
Dawn After Dark was basically a cooler version of The Cult at the time. Just a really cool sounding band with a cool amount of energy. Some would say there was no way you could compare them to The Cult, but I was a Cult fan when they released "Love", and when they released the AC/DC influenced "Electric" I hated them all of a sudden. So it was easy for me to like something more then them at the time. I still hate "Electric", BTW.
Have you only heard Simpatico? If so, that one's a bit lame. I shall make you copies of the two I mentioned. You'll love 'em. If you like Soft Dogs, you'll love Everything Glows. Helpyourselfish is HEAVY. Knowing you, I think you'll dig that too. [img]smile.gif[/img]

2)Answered your PM.
3) Told ya, I'm not taking any CD's from you until I get off my ass and get you your stuff. Appreciate the offer though, your such a nice guy. [img]smile.gif[/img]
<font size="3" face="Arial">Who ya talking to there? You gave me "Soft Dogs" (which I still need to send to Spydur, but he vanished), and I said I heard the two US releases. I just kind of lost the desire to follow them. It happens when the bands gets harder and harder to find stuff by.Quote:

Just returned from paternity leave to discover you discussing one of my favourite bands. I actually preferred 'Soft Dogs' to 'Everything Glows' but everything since 'No Fuel...' has been VERY good. Have to say that, for me personally, 'Helpyourselfish' is their best. I love the way they change direction with each album yet always maintain their distinctive sound. As with the US though, their last four albums haven't even been released in the UK! Amazingly they played a one-off gig in London just over a year ago, which was fantastic. A fantastic live band - best thing ever to come out of Denmark. New album on its way later this year, hopefully with UK release and tour...
NEW ALBUM???? I wonder what direction they will go? I think, personally, that they've pretty much squeezed as much as they can out of the Simpatico/Everything Glows/Softdogs era. I just remember that I saw them (the brothers) do an interview once and they were the calmest I've ever seen any artists in the glam/hair scene. Very humble yet with a dry sense of humor.
I totally agree. Apparently they've been playing a couple of new songs on their recent Danish dates and the response has been very positive. By all accounts they're going in a heavier direction this time. Maybe they've been taking note of what the fans want?!
