Emerging from Copenhagen's vibrant rock scene in the late 1980s, D.A.D. (formerly Disneyland After Dark) unleashed their breakout EP, "Sleeping My Day Away." Riding the wave of glam metal's popularity, D.A.D. carved out a unique niche with their quirky blend of hard rock, humor, and catchy melodies.
This 12" vinyl EP, released in 1989, showcased the band's eclectic sound, blending heavy guitar riffs with playful lyrics and a touch of sleaze. "Sleeping My Day Away," the title track, became an instant anthem, solidifying the band's reputation for crafting infectious singalongs.
While the EP didn't spark any major controversies, the band's earlier name change from Disneyland After Dark raised eyebrows due to potential legal conflicts with the Disney corporation. The tongue-in-cheek humor embedded in their music and image continued to divide opinions, with some praising their originality while others dismissed them as a novelty act.
Amidst their rising fame, rumors swirled about the band's wild antics and backstage escapades. One popular gossip involved a supposed incident where the band members allegedly rode a motorcycle through a hotel lobby, further fueling their reputation as rock 'n' roll rebels.
