DanDiego
We are a metal band from Woodland Hills, California, intent on giving a fresh groovy sound to the metal.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Founded in January 2009 by Daniel Braunstein (former guitarist of The Sound of Ugly and The Unborn), and Diego Farias (Theoria), they picked up their friend Chris Khoury for drums (Throwing Shapes), and their other friend Daniel Schwartz as their bassist (Brethren, Sunny Days and Stickmen, Theoria). They are planning to record their EP during Summer 2009. Intent on giving metal a new melodic and groovy sound, they will begin playing shows in mid-late 2009 after promoting their EP.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We will start playing shows in mid-late 2009.
