Hey Geronimo really, really love Dan Kelly. They even skirted dangerously close to stalking with the release of their latest single “The Dan Kelly Song”! The quirky song’s currently available as a free download from Bandcamp and iTunes.
“The track was inspired by a dream I had in which Dave McCormack and Dan Kelly were co-writing songs for Hey Geronimo,” explains the band’s vocalist Pete Kilroy. “I woke up, and realising how cool that would be, figured we should just try and write a song in that style anyway. We’re all huge fans and it was either this or get tatts.”
Dan might not become Hey Geronimo’s songwriter any time soon, but he did meet the band and give the song his seal of approval. Buoyed by the experience, Hey Geronimo will take the song on the road this June with musical pals Strange Talk.
