Daniel Romano's Outfit adds three NL headline shows to their European tour
21-06-2024Daniel Romano's Outfit is a Canadian indie rock band shrouded in mystery, and known for their high intensity live performances. The band, which has garnered a reputation as a powerhouse supergroup, is lead by Daniel Romano and consists of Carson McHone, Tommy Major, Ian Ski Romano, and sound engineer Kenneth Roy Meehan.
Paste Magazine said "The Outfit's live shows are nothing short of explosive, leaving audiences in a state of awe and wonderment.” Daniel Romano's Outfit are a band like no other, weaving a mysterious and mesmerizing soundscape that is as haunting as it is electrifying.
In 2020 the Outfit dropped several notable records, including a collaboration with Tool drummer Danny Carey on the long form album, “Forever Love’s Fool". Daniel Romano's Outfit Do (What Could Have Been) Infidels By Bob Dylan & the Plugz was released later that same year, inspired by a 1984 appearance on Letterman where Dylan performed a song with LA punk band The Plugz. With their own twist, the Outfit reimagined the entire album and answer the question, what if Dylan went punk?
In 2021, the Outfit released the rock and roll masterclass, “Cobra Poems”, which infused their signature sound with new swagger and grit. The fiery single "Nocturne Child" is a prime example of the band's electrifying energy.
In 2022, the Outfit took things to a whole new level with the ambitious release of “La Luna”, “...a true masterpiece, showcasing the band's unparalleled musicianship and knack for crafting deeply atmospheric and emotive music."
In 2024 the Outfit made Too Hot To Sleep. Since their last album, there have been some changes in the Outfit, but the core of the Romano brothers remains the same. And perhaps that is for the best as this is a tour de force of power. From the opening track to the closer, Romano and company blast their way through ten songs that are more like ten forces of nature. The songs are well-played, arranged just rock. Ian Romano’s drumming is out of this world, and he taps into some of his Ancient Shapes riffs, but truthfully, in some songs he outdoes himself. Romano knows how to write and record pure rock songs. Too Hot To Sleep is a good example of this talent and skill. For this album, he has let loose and allowed himself the luxury of simply rocking out.
With each release, Daniel Romano's Outfit continues to defy genre classification, carving out a unique space for themselves in the world of music.
