Ad Frank Birthday Celebration with The Daylilies and Gene Dante and the Future Starlets
The Daylilies - New England's finest post-wave quintet, The Daylilies are a band composed of living relics of Boston rock and roll history, including Ad Frank (…and the Fast Easy Women, Lifestyle), Amy Jee (Linnea's Garden), Mike Quinn (Reverse, Dragstrip Courage), Adam Goodwin (PermaFrost) and Maine native Laura England Klain (The Feather Lungs). Drawing on this extensive and highly impressive experience, their sound can most easily be described as “pop,” though art rock, post-grunge and new wave are also frequently accurate. GPS triangulation finds their sound somewhere between Garbage, The Cars and Low.
Here's what they are saying in Europe about their debut album, "From America, The Daylilies":
"Here is a very beautiful album which escapes classifications with its sauce of Indie Pop, College Rock & timeless Power Pop...both a little mischievous and a little melancholic, the Daylilies revive the good old days of the 'New Wave' (Elvis Costello, The Cars, etc.) when no one seemed to care about cliques but rather about writing really good songs!" Bertrand Tappaz, Voix de Garages. Grenoble, France
"The Daylilies span decades of music without, somehow, if not to say miraculously, sounding outdated for a single second. The band behind her give (Laura) the off-pop sound her voice deserves to make it shine. The band does everything right on the album."
Wout de Natris, Wono Magazine. The Netherlands
Gene Dante and the Future Starlets have made a career out of picking glitter from the gutter and wearing it to their black-tie affairs. Shuffling down the sordid streets of Boston, the indie rock rat pack travel shoulder-to-shoulder with the deviants and debutantes about town, stepping out to the beat of their own banged-up drum kit.
In 2021, their waltz kicks down the door to DL/UX, the group’s forthcoming full-length album, due out 2021. The 15-track record pulls back the velvet curtain on a modern speakeasy, the fabrication of lead singer Gene Dante. But little beyond the concept itself is made-up; beneath the group’s jewel-encrusted facade are the lyrics that Dante writes — and later, croons — entirely captured from his own experiences. Elegance, debauchery, and sweaty tales from New York and Los Angeles stages come perfectly preserved in the headspace of DL/UX, wrapped up in risqué realism.
“It crashes through the wall of pop,” Dante explains. And once that wall’s in pieces, DL/UX takes the sledgehammer to all of mainstream music’s formalities.
DL/UX builds upon the group’s past successes, which began with their previous opus The Romantic Lead, released via Omnirox Entertainment. Produced by Peter Lubin, the record’s single “A Madness To His Method” made its way into rotation at MTV’s LOGO Network. Follow-up single “The Love Letter Is Dead” peaked at number 2 on local radio airplay charts, and remained on the charts for 16 consecutive months. Most recently, Gene Dante nabbed a Boston Music Award nomination for “Best Male Vocalist” (now simply titled “Vocalist of the Year”) in 2014.
