History

Michael Garner (keys, vocals), Matt Frankel (percussion, vocals) and Dan Chang (guitar, vocals) met at UCLA in 2005 while singing together in the premiere collegiate music group Awaken A Cappella. In 2006, under the name of mikey g and dan from danville, the duo took part in UCLA’s Spring Sing talent competition, the school’s oldest music tradition, where they won with their song “Cast Away” for Best Duet and Best Overall Entry. Past winners have included Sara Bareilles, Tyrone Wells and Maroon 5.

In the beginning of 2007, the duo sought out Matthew Frankel to contribute his percussive talents to the group, ultimately leading to the inception of lady danville.

In the fall of 2007, lady danville won the annual Star 98.7 Lounge Contest with their song “Tired Magician” and was featured on the Star Lounge Compilation CD with artists including John Mayer, Maroon 5 and Pink. In December 2007, the group released their first self-titled EP lady danville which can be found on iTunes and Amazon. The band spent 2008 establishing themselves in the Los Angeles area at venues such as the Troubadour, Viper Room, Hotel Café, and the El Rey before going on tour in the Pacific Northwest in 2009 and the entire West Coast in 2010 with the bands Until June and The Fold. In March 2010, lady danville wrapped up their West Coast Tour and headed to Austin, TX where they played at the official SXSW 2010 Showcase with a total of five shows in three days. In April 2010, they kicked off their East Coast tour with Jack’s Mannequin. Lady Danville is in the middle of their recording sessions with Mikal Blue in December 2010. Additionally, Lady Danville did a benefit concert at Annandale High School solely for class of 2011 in late October 2010 whilst touring the east coast.

Other accolades include the prominent feature of their song “Cast Away“ on a recent episode of MTV’s The Real World: Washington DC as well as “Love to Love” on E!’s Keeping up with the Kardashians and MTV's The Real World: New Orleans. Furthermore, their music has been consistently featured on Dorm Life, Hulu’s most watched web show, as well as on the acclaimed independent documentary Craigslist Joe. They have also earned tremendous praise from media outlets as diverse as LA Weekly, LAist.com, and Billboard.com.

In November 2010, Lady Danville finished the Lonely Avenue tour with Ben Folds. In January 2011, the band went on tour with Dashboard Confessional, and Chris Conley of Saves the Day for the west coast leg of the 10th Year Anniversary of Dashboard Confessionals debut album The Swiss Army Romance.

Currently, Lady Danville is on tour supporting Jack's Mannequin.
