Dada (stylized dada) is a three piece rock band from California (United States). The band is made up of Michael Gurley (guitar/co-lead vocals), Joie Calio (bass/co-lead vocals) and Phil Leavitt (drums).[1]
The band's songs feature both Michael and Joie sharing the vocals on each song. The group write highly melodic, harmony laden tunes, and their constant touring with two and a half to three hour performances has won them a wide fanbase.
1992 saw the release of their debut album Puzzle. First single "Dizz Knee Land" quickly became a staple of radio across the U.S. and reached as far as Australia, where the song and album went on high rotation on national radio station Triple J. "Dizz Knee Land" reached number 2 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, number 5 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart and number 27 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart;[2] Puzzle went on to sell more than half a million copies and earned an RIAA Gold Record award. dada toured for the album with bands such as Crowded House and Izzy Stradlin & the Ju Ju Hounds, as well as Sting.
They released the follow-up in 1994, American Highway Flower. Though the first single from that album "All I Am" spent eight weeks in the modern rock charts their record label at the time (I.R.S. Records) began to collapse. By the release of their third album El Subliminoso in 1996, I.R.S. Records had all but folded. In 1997 the band signed to MCA Records and, in 1998, released their fourth full-length studio album simply titled dada. Their bad luck with record companies continued as the parent company of MCA was sold. They continued touring throughout the U.S. In 1999 the band decided to have a break and played their supposedly final show in Norfolk, Virginia in front of 14,000 fans.[3][4]
On May 3, 2010, Joie Calio posted on his Facebook profile that "Dada is actually recording a new record - really! It's sounding good too. We've decided to stay focused on the writing/recording of this new record for now and hold off on any big tour plans".[6] The band began a club tour later in the year. For unknown reasons, work came to a standstill on the new dada album in 2010 and to date, none of the recordings from those sessions have been released.
In 2011, using studio time originally booked for dada,[7] Joie Calio and Phil Leavitt recorded a new album together under the name 7Horse. The debut 7Horse album, titled Let The 7Horse Run, was independently released late in 2011, and a tour of the U.S. followed early in 2012. In 2013 Martin Scorsese featured the 7Horse song "Meth Lab Zoso Sticker" in his movie The Wolf of Wall Street. It was also used in multiple trailers for the film and is on the movie soundtrack. In 2014 7Horse released its second record Songs For a Voodoo Wedding. That year they toured opening for Kenny Wayne Shepherd and later Whiskey Meyers. in 2016 7Horse released its third record Living In a Bitch of a World. They subsequently toured that year headlining in the U.S.
I heard this song in a store, but it ended before I could try and record it and the only lyrics I heard were "dada da dadadada" around 3 times in the beginning, middle, and end, but that's all I could hear. It is definitely a newer song and is very cheery, happy, catchy, and maybe a little mellow with an acoustic guitar(?) I think in the background possibly (not 100% sure), but it's not too old and neither is it rap, trap, or 80s kind of song
Named after the art movement, Dada was formed in the early nineties as a college-rock band by a trio from Southern California, including Joie Calio on bass guitar, Mike Gurley on guitar, and Phil Leavitt on drums. While their style is difficult to pinpoint, they are described simultaneously as progressive, alternative, pop, intellectual, and raw. Their lyrics are introspective and set to arrangements utilizing the latest in sound technology. They have been compared with Led Zeppelin in terms of creativity and innovation, while their music is clearly influenced by the Beatles' music of the late 1960s.
"Information Undertow" appeared on Dada's fourth album and its acoustic orientation makes it technologically tame compared with other songs. The lyrics, reminiscent of the Beatles' "Day in the Life," document the isolation that can occur in today's excessively connected society. Dada asks the question "Do people still wave lighters in the crowd?" alluding to the 1970s and 1980s reaction to quiet songs at rock concerts. Evident in this song are the rich vocal harmonies, more echoes of the Beatles that the group worked hard to perfect.
"Hello Ma Baby" (Unit 6):
What do these songs have in common? How do they differ? Why is "Hello Ma Baby" so much more optimistic than "Information Undertow"?
