!daft! are GODS..worship them!
!daft! are AWESOME. Musically the band are excellent - far better than the picture mere words can paint. Real quality musicians. Graeme himself is amazing...the boy can sing...not just sing a bit, I mean he can sing...really SING. He's got an impressive vocal range and more than that he is everything a frontman should be - he has charisma, energy, style, wit, humour and an instinctive understanding of his audience...he takes the band a stage further from being just a group of quality musicians to a group of quality musicians who comprise a band with the "wow factor"
I went to the Rising Sun gig on Saturday and had a really good time. I'm a miserable, overweight, 40 something dyed-in-the-wool metalheaded, sad git with a bad back, but !daft! managed to get me on my feet, jumping up and down and singing (I know, it's a terrifying thought) along with loads of other people both young and old, of all creeds and colours...we were all having that rare thing - A genuinely good time.
!daft! really know how to give their audience that "feel good" factor...I was watching people leaving after the gig and without exception everyone had bloody big smiles on their faces.
So, "covers band" they may be...but they're so much more too...

ROCKIN'!!!
What can you say about !daft! other than QUALITY!!! They have an amazing stage presence, get the crowd fully involved and ROCK ON!!! They have a great mix of covers that guarantee you will have no voice left by the end of the night!! Particular favorites include their Guns n Roses covers and 'All these things I've done' by the Killers!!
If you want a wicked night, go see this lot!!! Amazing, keep it up Guys!!!

I'm sixty, and don't know many of the songs they perform, but......
.....this band is something else!
I played a bit in the 60's and 70's, fancied myself and the bands I played in then...still do, I 'spose, but !daft! are an outstanding covers band. I've booked them twice and both times now they have simply 'blown the audience away"!
Believe their "biography" above because every word is true, but don't just read these reviews, go to a gig, and if you can't get to one, be selfish and book them to play for you, as I have done. You'll not be disappointed.

Bl*ody Fantastic!!
I went to see them for the first time recently and had one of the BEST nights out! Fantastic band, picked all the right songs, I would pay money to see these dudes and it was like watching the real GNR or Greenday exept you were closer to the stage!! Bonus!! Only problem I will say is that they weren't on long enough! I wanted more !!!!!

It's like going to see all your favourite rock bands in one night!!
I have been going to !daft! gigs for years, not only are they awesome musicians but great entertainers. They always put in 100% to ensure you have a wicked night and the music is always brilliant. At every gig the crowd are always involved and everyone is singing and dancing. I will always put in the effort to go to see !daft!.. as its always a fab night. Awesome band .. Awesome guys.. Awesome live music..
Thanks for all the great night's and I look forward to seeing you again soon!!!

A pleasure to deal with...
"!daft! played in the Camphill Club in West Byfleet on Saturday the 12th of May. The lads were an absotute pleasure to deal with and put on one of the best shows we have seen, where Graeme gets his energy from is beyond me!! We have already booked them to play our Club later this year, and I will be booking them for some gigs next year as well!"
Graham Loughrey, Entertainment Secretary Camphill Social Club |
Energetic ain't the word...
"If not performing, there is nothing I like better than going to see a live band and !daft! give everything I want to see. Graeme is a top notch frontman, with a good vocal range to boot. He excels in ensuring the crowd are involved and are smiling. The choice of material is pleasantly varied - the band's strength lies in the big rock anthems such as Guns n Roses' 'Welcome to the jungle' and an incredibly tight Queen medley. The band steer clear of ballads and rightly so; !daft! are all about the energy and sharpness of sound. Phil and Gary on guitars are tight as you like together and share solos - the guitars compliment each other perfectly. Nick is a solid bass player and his timing with Darren on drums is spot on. All in all, if you want to go see a band and want to feel part of it, even if just for a couple of hours, go see them. Brilliant."
Matt, musician and audience member |
Tight band...
"We have seen a lot of bands in our native Los Angeles area but I gotta say you guys were one of the tightest and best sounding bands we've seen."
Norm, Hermosa Beach, California |
Sheer talent...
"I would just like to say once again how fantastic you and your band were on Daisy Day. I can honestly say that your the best band I've seen for a long, long time. Will contact you again soon to make a date for the summer so that all the unfortunate ones that missed out from seeing you that day will be able to catch up and witness the expertise and sheer talent of what I saw."
Sharon, event assistant and audience member |
More than just a covers band...
"A very welcome return for !daft! who are more than just a covers band, they are an event."
Clive Langston, resident critic/photographer, The Red Lion, High Wycombe's No.1 Live Band Venue |
Making Slough Happy...
"I'm so impressed, so lively... totally fantastic!"
Veronica Puglia, the face of BBC 2 documentary, "Making Slough Happy" |
A blast!
"Dynamic and full of dynamite, they'll just blast you away!"
Richard Hill, Writer/Journalist, Royal Television Society |
