Free MP3! | Dan Kelly And The Ukeladies – ‘The SUV Song’
Happy Wednesday, comrades.
To celebrate the fact we’ve made it through to what office workers hilariously refer to as “hump day”, I think we should celebrate by downloading a brand new track from handsome troubadour Dan Kelly called ‘The SUV Song’. The tune features the gorgeous backing vocals of The Ukeladies, two gorgeous young ladies I’ve spoken about before on Defamer Australia, as their gentle crooning is destined to be the sound you hear when you approach the gates of Heaven.
So what’s The SUV Song about, I hear you ask?
A timely ode to the sinking Samoan and Tuvaluan women as they resignedly gurgle insults at Westerners pottering about in their supersize automobiles, The S.U.V Song is another skewed, witty, sweetly melodic and bleak song from the pen of the man who brought us “Drunk On Election Night’ and the award winning LP Drowning In The Fountain Of Youth.
The S.U.V Song floats onto the airwaves this month, featuring possibly the world’s first ever mobile phone feedback solo, performed by the Ukeladies in true tropical Armageddon style. This ground breaking tele-communictaion experiment combined with their dreamy vocals and Dan’s crooning falsetto make for a match made in tropical heaven.
And guess what? You can grab it for NOUGHT from the official Dan Kelly website if you sign up for his mailing list! Don’t worry, he doesn’t send around nearly as much porn as you’d think. Head to dankelly.com.au and do your thing.
Or perhaps you’d like to see the man live in action?
Dan Kelly & The Ukeladies kick off their tour TONIGHT at the Spiegeltent in Melbourne! I can’t go because I’m hosting trivia at The Corner, so one of you needs to go in order to “represent” me. If you scream “Hey Dan Kelly, one day I’m going to wear your beautiful skin HAHAHAHAHA!” and then start crying unexpectedly and then flash your boobs at The Ukeladies, they’ll know you’re there in my place.
Here are the dates of their tour.
29 Oct The Famous Spiegeltent VIC
14 Nov The Basement NSW
21 Nov Northcote Social Club VIC
27 Nov The Globe Theatre QLD
Hop to it.
HILARIOUS UPDATE! Dan’s website appears to be down this morning. But it’ll come back up, I promise!

I signed up for that download. Very nice thanks.
They’re touring the Basement in November, and I might just go and see them.
They’ve got talent, and they deserve more recognition, just like a lot of bands out there. I love Hawaiian and ukulele music. Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole is my favourite of the genre, but you really should check out the music from Madagascar for some unusual stringed instruments. Especially ‘Rajeri’ on the ‘Valiha’. There’s some very nice clips of Rajeri on Dailymotion that you should take a look at, and you may well decide to blog about them Jess. Take a look at “Dailymotion – 3MA : Anfass – une vidéo Musique”. It’s awesome I reckon. Some very skilled musicians there.
And there’s a brilliant clip on Youtube titled “World Music Potpourri – Tarika (Madagascar)”, that I’d highly recommend.
Keep smiling. =]
