Biography

Thee Dang Dangs are a Denver, CO based 4 piece Psych Surf Garage Rock band. Thee Dang Dangs are a delightful fusing of fuzzy surf guitar riffs, and reverb-heavy psychedelic vocals by frontlady Rebecca Williams. Their sound conjures up images of dirty bums wandering around on Venice Beach in the 60s in a hazy search for something heavier to cave in droopy eyelids. The most succinct description I’ve read of their Stone Coast EP (from Westword’s review) is that it “sounds like it was recorded in the bathroom of a Sunset Strip titty bar in 1967.” I dare you to have a listen and not visualize this image.

Williams’ reverb-soaked squeals and wails melded with the cloudy guitar lines and terse percussion patterns like a funny cigarette matches the crackle of your favorite Lou Reed record. There is something profoundly nostalgic and timeless in spite of itself about Thee Dang Dang’s music; they don’t have to come out and tell you who their influences are, because it’s so apparent within the sun-drenched howls and crunchy guitar riffs. Who knows, maybe they’ll become an act to revisit 50 years in the future, just as they are fondly recreating and reinventing sounds from our musical past right now in 2013.

Coasts Lyrics
It's been raining for a while
In my mind
Let's take shelter right away
Before I drown

In your conscious
Remain with me

I can't wake up from this dream
It's been a while
Let's gain conscious right away
Before I fly

Leave the Planet - Coasts

a dark music trip into dreams that never came true… http://www.thelostboy.eu 

SHE'S SO SAD (words to read along the music)

she’s as beautiful as roses
and so many eyes want to pick her up...

but she’s in love with an imaginary man
she’s just friend with an imaginary friend
she’s just afraid of her inner self...

I try to dry her tears
but my love won’t suffice

feeling inside
faking outside

her skin tastes soft
her eyes look so lost
as she dreams of angels...

she’s so beautiful
I can’t breathe 
I love her
but she doesn’t

I’m so sad
she’s so sad
she’s so sad

a sense of senseless love
so cold I shiver
so cold she shivers

I told her I love her
but she did not hear my words

she believes in worlds of magic
she just can’t find love in this ordinary world

grey clouded sky
and sad dry lips

she can’t find her way
she can’t find the reason why
she’s so sad and always will be

she can’t trust her heart
she can’t feel real love
she’s so sad and will always cry

twisted feelings and confused emotions
pouring rain and dying suns

she’s so sad
and sad I can’t make her happy 
she’s so sad
and sad I can’t help her live her dreams

she dreams 
she dreams
she dreams a world of dreams
so far away from this world 

she’s too beautiful for this world...
she will never be happy

Philadelphia, PA’s Literature features Kevin Attics, Nathaniel Cardaci, Chris Schackerman, and Seth Whaland. Attics, who’d written for numerous music trades as a teen, met Cardaci and Whaland at the house venue they both operated in Austin, TX. Cardaci and Whaland each ran small imprint labels and, a million adventures later, the trio decided to form a band. Upon moving to Philadelphia the group befriended Schackerman who also joined the fold. 

In 2012, following a well-received single and a track on Gerard Cosloy’s “Casual Victim Pile II” compilation they released their debut album, "Arab Spring," which became a cult hit within the indiepop community. That album is sharp and immediate, almost mod-ish in its attack, but always tuneful and going for melody where it counts. They toured the US in support, and have performed with the likes of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Eternal Summers, Ted Leo, Sic Alps, White Fence, Gentlemen Jesse, Hospitality, and Brown Recluse. They also appeared on Terre T's Cherry Blossom Clinic.

In 2013 they released a follow-up 7”, “Tie Dye” and contributed a track to Esopus Magazine alongside artists like Jens Lekman and The Shins. They also played at that year’s NYC Popfest, which helped cement the buzz that was steadily growing amongst savvy pop fans. "Arab Spring" was treated to a re-mastered re-press, which followed the first pressing and quickly sold out.

Autumn of 2013 saw the band begin work on their second album, "Chorus," with lauded engineer Gary Olson (whose body of work includes records by Crystal Stilts, Mad Scene and The Beets) at his Marlborough Farms studio in Brooklyn, NY. As a beautiful autumn turned into one of the harshest winters in recent memory, Olson and the band began stretching out, enhancing the album with studio techniques dating back to the late 60s including true-tape flanging, sending vocals through Leslie speaker cabinets, and the same analog style of automatic double-tracking created at Abbey Road Studios.

The result is an album that is as immediate as it is timeless, full of effortlessly catchy and well-crafted tunes that echo pop legends like Smiths and Orange Juice. All of that time in the studio has resulted in a rich, considered sound that puts the band's arranging and playing front and center. "Chorus" is one of the most exciting pop records in years, and marks Literature at true contenders.
