Dan was the bass player and one of four lead singers in the NYC band Hypnolovewheel, which released five albums and an EP 1987-1993 and is now re-releasing these, starting with a new compilation called Parallel Universe. Since 1994, he has fronted Hoboken’s The Special Pillow, which has now had nine releases (three being EPs). Dan also played bass on two albums by XL Kings, fronted by Hypnolovewheel’s Stephen Hunking.
