Artist History NEWS: THE DAGGERS will be playing an extremely self gloryfying record/discography release show in the winter of '04 in Chicago. Jackets will be required for the gentlemen. The BUMP'N'UGLIES and THE MASHERS have both agreed to join us, and the plans include....fuck that, I've told ya more than ya deserve.......more later........There's a new comp named after a DAGGERS song called "You're Weak, Wear Strong", it's at www.hauntedtownrecords.com, lotsa other cool bands too................... In 1996 the band originated in Chicago, rising like a Phoenix on crank from the ashes of various award-winning projects in the Windy City. Singer and former mayoral candidate Meadowlark teamed up with skate buddy and famed author of "The Wind Beneath My Wings" Ponyboy Jones with one eye on godlike fame and fortune and the other on this cute little Spanish girl down the street. Meadowlark had spent the previous eight years recording and touring with Golden Globe winning Beer City artistes Lunkhead and restoring old-fashioned bicycles, while Pony had been rocking down the house with his own combo, The Space Invaders, who of course made history as the last band produced by Chicago multinational Underdog Records. The two quickly ripped the sleeves off their jean jackets, spray painted Daggers all over them, and new heroes (as well as the greatest fashion trend, ever) were born. In between frontside slappies and six foot bongs, the boys tracked down the Benz, who had been missing in action since a recon trip to the Kay Song delta several years previous. Benz turned up in a day hotel at Ho Chin Minh City, were Meadowlark and Pony cleaned him up (both physically and spiritually), reprogrammed him, and bribed him back to civilization with empty promises and a stolen bass guitar. Also recruited then was the Kolonel, who went AWOL from the black forces Special Ops squadron to fly the trio through the ground fire and mortar rounds to safety and rock stardom. Somewhere on the flight while dodging heavy sniper fire and sucking down nitrous, The Kolonel had a vision that HE was to be the drummer, his Special Ops sniper duties weren't enough danger for him anymore, and he felt, nay-KNEW, his government sponsored people-killing skills were being sadly wasted. So, after a sworn-blood oath and many cervezas in a rain forest in Ecuador, Earth's greatest heroes came together; knowing that not even the vast armies of Cobra Commander could stop their meteoric rise to infamy.

Press Reviews "After a noticeable groundswell of grassroots support the socio-political punk rock machine know as the Daggers have emerged as the forerunners and apparent heirs to the rock throne left vacant since the untimely demise of Grand Funk Railroad. I can say, without hyperbole, that the Daggers are simply the greatest (not to mention, most beautiful) rock and roll machine ever to grace God's green Earth and we are simply blessed to breathe the same oxygen as them. God Bless America, but more importantly - God Bless THE DAGGERS" -Kitty Kelly, Hot Dog Soop Magazine "The Daggers completely fucked shit up in a drunken punk rock frenzy, playing before a Skull Skates parody banner. The show ended with a sloppy cover of The Diesel Queens "Fuck n Drink", then one of the band members threw a REAL cow head into the audience, ala Eater. The crowd ran out of the room, mortified, while the band enjoyed a soccer game with the bloody meat." - Horizontal Action Magazine "Quite possibly the worst band in Chicago" - Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader
