Artist: Dakona: mp3 download Genre(s): Pop: Pop-Rock Dakona's discography: Perfect Change Year: 2003 Tracks: 13 Dakona formed in the mid-'90s when Ryan McAllister and his cousin-german, John Biondolillo, teamed up with their friends Shane Dueck and Brook Winstanley. Spending their step down time rehearsing in an old b, Dakona played any gig they could get, including opening for a sex activity therapist, something that surprised McAllister. When he and the rest of Dakona showed up for the gig, they saw a microphone. Believing it was a minimalist band, they didn't think anything of it. When the sexuality healer hit the stage, Dakona found it amusing. Things went uphill from there. Dakona formed a unattackable following throughout Canada and circumferent perimeter towns. Their D.I.Y. make ethic paid off a class by and by when they released "Honorable Enough for Me" to honorable reviews. In 2000, they followed it up with "Ordinary Heroes." After sign language with Maverick, they agreed to ferment with producer Arnold David Lanni, best-known for his ferment with Our Lady Peace, one of McAllister's favorites. Dakona left the sessions early -- seeking to "acquire" as a band. Next, they landed in the studio of Grammy Award-winning manufacturer Rob Cavallo (Goo Goo Dolls). After 18 days in the studio, Dakona finished what would become Perfect Change. |
