How STAGGER LEE became The Dagger Lees
STAGGER LEE IS DEAD! LONG LIVE THE DAGGER LEES!
Irish rock'n'roll noir four piece announce name change & the recording of their debut album with legendary Detroit producer Jim Diamond of White Stripes, Von Bondies & Electric Six fame.
This female fronted, screaming feral blues, white-hot soul racket began life in 2006 as Stagger Lee, and made waves in 2007 with the release of their debut single 'Bad Shoes' on their own label, Split Lip Records. The single reached no. 5 on Irelands indie chart.
The band, delighted to confirm the recording of their debut album in the USA with Jim Diamond, face legal difficulties with future releases if they continue under the name Stagger Lee. And so, in a storming sea of change, the Dagger Lees are born!
In embracing the new name, the Dagger Lees look forward to kicking down the doors of what has gone before, parting ways with the past and are spending the summer writing and pre-producing their album.
The Dagger Lees sound still embodies the spirit of Robert Johnson's Devil-at-the-crossroads and Mavis Staples sultry gospel cry with a passionate lust for some god-damn rock and roll!
The Dagger Lees are also delighted to announce the inclusion of their track Scarlet Fever on the forthcoming US film release by punk rock film company Vivid Alt. They've made several TV appearances on Irish television already this year and the video accompanying their debut single in 2007 has become a YouTube cult classic with over 68,000 views, as well as being short-listed in the London Portobello film festival.
Having played with international acts such as The Kills, Jon Spencer Blues Xplosion, The Duke Spirit, Sleater Kinny, The Grates, The Long Blondes, The Drones and The Von Bondies, The Dagger Lees are delighted to have been invited back to play the beautiful Speigeltent in Dublin in September 2008 and a slot at Glasgowbury Festival 2008.
