So, as the twats at Mediafuckingfire have tried to supress this information by deleting allllll of my files; this gives one a superb opportunity to re-up and re-post the entire DATD's back catalogue in one fat megapost.
This stuff was far more important to the 15 year old 'moi' than the Pistols ever were.
The Dressmakers really showed us youths weened on progressive rock that we could really do it too, and have a laugh doing it!
But, the main contribution that they gave to DIY music was the performance aspect that was soooo lacking in most of the bedroom bound DIYers.
What would you rather be?.....in Danny and the Dressmakers or be the Mauthausen Orchestra? Thats a complete no-brainer.
Anyone sorry loner with a tape deck could make an 'industrial' tape, and thousands did; but where was the performance? The Dannymakers gave us this essentila of showbiz, and art. They were the Mothers of Invention for the DIY generation, and near sub-genius's to boot.
(200 cancellations was obviously an anti-matter version of Zappa's 200 Motels, was it not?)
So, Download the bands epic four and a half hour long anti-rock opera, "200 Cancellations" below. Released on three C-90 cassettes on Fuck Off records in 1979. Its fucking brilliant!

Meejafire's cockended your Danny downloads mate
sorry sedric, 'twas my fault.I forgot to reup the files to a more sensible file hoster....ie Ubuntu.
To be done today.
Now fully repaired.
15 years old here, and this is the perfect music to keep me sane trudging through high school. I forgot how much gold was on this blog!
Perfect music indeed.
Yes it a pity stuff gets buried away on this blog....i will have to re-post a lot of it in the future. A large amount of visitors never get beyond page one.
can't believe I just stumbled apon this - bless you
Hey there, I saw some tracks are missing from the "Go Mental" archive file (The tape has 30 songs, but there are only 19 are on the archive). Can you please fix the issue and upload them too?
Oh Balls! I will look into this crime immeadiately!
hi! any chance you'd happen to have these in a higher quality format or 320? thank you!
Saw them in Bolton on the same bill as Hear&Now and the Fall back in the mists of time. Can't remember a thing about H&N or Fall, but Don't Make Another Bass Guitar Mr. Rickenbacker has been in my head ever since. Marvelous!
Sounds like The Deeply Dale free fesival.There's a great documentary featuring a very funny interview with MES expressing his shock about one of the organisers walking around the sir wearing just a suit jacket,shirt and tie but no pants ,trousers or shoes....apparently he dressed like that every day!?
Hippies, you can slag 'em off but one has to admire them for stuff like this.
Also there was the King of the Tee-Pee people who took an intense, and yes, violent dislike for Punk Rockers...indeed, throwing the singer of Fast Cars off the stage,who, subsequently broke his arm.....but the show carried on,he finished the set.
Now all we got is shite like Glasto...3 and half hundred quid to get in next year!?...no thanks.
Ah..i spotted Bolton mentioned, so disregard the deeply Vale comments.
Truly, Madly, Deeply Vale id the dvd doc incidentally.
I was at Deeply Vale 78 & 79. I know DATDM played but have no memory of them. Probably huddled under a bin bag eating Hare Krishna porridge when they played.
I do remember the fracas involving Sid Rawles pulling a band member of stage, I thought the band was Wilful Damage though. Other than that I don’t recall any clear polarisation between “punks” and “hippies” more of a sliding scale. Think Here&Now to ATV. Me and my mates probably looked more like hippies in ‘78 but we definitely didn’t think of ourselves as hippies in any way. In ‘78 punk had not yet adopted the cliched “punk” style, well not in Bolton anyway, which is after all the home of northern punk. Hair just got cut short. I remember a very hippified Howard Trafford coming around to our house, he was a college friend of my older sister.
ah yes Wilful Damage was indeed the Groop....i hear the majority of 'hippies 'were against such acts of violence and kinda stood with the punx.
Punk probably appealed to Howard T because its hard tp hide male pattern baldness with long hair....unless you comb it over.
