any Dondero fans around? he is releasing a new album in September and we are bringing him over. no venue sorted yet but just trying to get a scope for how well he is known/liked over here in Dublin,
he is signed to Conor Oberst's record label, Team Love and fits into that Omaha/Saddle Creek scene.
here are some videos you can check out and see what you all think.
and some words from wiki:
David Dondero (born June 24, 1969 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States) is an American songwriter, guitarist, former lead singer of the band Sunbrain and former drummer for This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb. In 2006, NPR's All Songs Considered named David one of the "best living songwriters" alongside Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney and Tom Waits.[1] Dondero started his musical career on drums at the age of 10, due in part to the fact that he "was always drumming on stuff with my hands".[2] Dondero released four records with the Clemson, SC-based punk/hardcore band Sunbrain (three on Grass Records and one on Ghostmeat Records), before breaking up in 1995. The following year, Dondero joined This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb for nearly two years as their drummer. He left in 1998 to focus on his solo material. He has since released seven solo albums - two with Ghostmeat Records, three with [Future Farmer Records]] and the most recent two with Team Love Records. His eighth album, titled # Zero with a Bullet, will be released on August 3rd, 2010. Dondero has toured with such acts as Crooked Fingers, Jolie Holland, Against Me!, The Mountain Goats, David Bazan, Preston School Of Industry, Bright Eyes, Tilly and the Wall, Spoon, and Willy Mason. Dondero currently resides in Austin, TX.
