DAN SARTAIN IN STUDIO WITH DJ MARK RADCLIFFE!
Dan Sartain was a guest in the studio with Mark Radcliffe on Tuesday.
This session was even more special as Mark backed Dan's up on drums during the last song.
TOUR DIARY - 1st INSTALMENT
We hopped a train to the station, took the ferry across the big river
and now we're here--back in Londontown again. It's just the Plate Six
clan so far, the King left ahead of us to speak into microphones in
some foreign land....
NEW INTERVIEW
Almost two years ago a small article in NME led me to Dan Sartain. The Western-style headline shouted “The Newest Outlaw in Town.” The man in focus stood before a old beater with an acoustic guitar in his hand and dark glasses... To read the full interview click hereDAN SARTAIN ON XFM LONDON
Surrounding Dan's sold-out gig at The Camden Barfly he squeezed in a chat with Sarah Darling on her Music Response show....

DAN SARTAIN vs THE SERPIENTES
Busting outta Birmingham, Alabammy, 23 year old Dan Sartain is a troubadour on course to collide into greatness. His One Little Indian/Swami debut, "Dan Sartain Vs. The Serpientes, culls recordings past and present to put forth a cohesive work that showcases this unsuspecting talent. Ranging from ramshackle, bent, rock n roll, delineation that combines aspects of punk's forefathers/mothers with the greasy mind of a fourth generation coal miner, to beautifully sparse arrangements of eloquent despair, to downright perverse inclinations, "Dan Sartain Vs. The Serpientes" at times sounds as if Jonathan Richman wanted to be Hank Williams instead of Lou Reed or if The Voidoids were fronted by Hasil Adkins. Don't get me wrong. This ain't country-fried bar room pap that reeks of the post-punk midlife crisis. This is the true voice of a man/boy searching and unaware.

Cobras PT II
Walk Among The Cobras Pt.1
Music solid as lead, black and airy like night draped over Birmingham,
Alabama. It slowed like a river. It throbbed like a pulsating eye
buried deep in a wormy ditch. It tasted sweet as fried weeds trampled
by beasts. It tasted wet as wigs of moss anchored between the rocks
of that river.
A child’s cry rallies a chorus of fear. A mother’s kiss
and a father’s hand germinate a seed that would one day grow
to be a strapping tree fed by the water of the river. Years pass,
fruit ripens, sapling becomes man. No, a preacher, an advocate says
he.
His bursting fruit drop to the river and are taken far beyond his
voice’s reach. Follow the water and listen to this showman’s
role in Rock N Roll’s development and how he can help us better
understand the complete culture of America. Finally, now this culture
is ready for him as he extends it’s vibrations to the rest of
the world where others are primed and waiting.
He is “The Man-boy”tm, “The Slayer of the Hangers-On”tm,
“The Punisher of Shenanigans”tm, “The Veiny Transformer”tm,
“The Ivory Godfather”tm.
He is DAN SARTAIN!
Expand into Dan’s world with a song that grabs your soul, tenderly
but firmly. Walk down Broadway with Dan and let him musically describe
the “Drama Queens” trippin’ and trickin’ along
the way.
Take your favorite lady in your arms, turn the lamps down and let
Dan Sartain rap in your behalf with his smooth rendition of “Besa
Me Mucho”. Hear Dan inside out, clear as Technicolor with a
sound bigger than all outdoors.
Dan Sartain is smoother than buckskin. Dan Sartain is funkier than
ten cans of razor bump solution. Dan Sartain is mellower than Mister
A’s Cordon Bleu. Dan Sartain is as righteous as Webster’s
definition of truth.
Dan Sartain is a man of many moods and many grooves, but more important….
Dan Sartain is the “Ivory Godfather”tm and we needed one
for so very long.
