Song of the Day (1.28.11)

Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr - "Nothing But Our Love"

Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr might have the worst band name in the history of music. For myself, it was bizarre listening to this band the first time. With a name like Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr, you immediately (and for good reasons) associate it with NASCAR. And it doesn't help when you see their "schtick" that evolves around wearing the signature NASCAR suits displaying Lysol and Cheerios on their chests. Truth be told, Joshua Epstein and Daniel Zott (who are the DEJJ tandem) themselves aren't into NASCAR (see video here).

Once you get past their name and look, you realize this is an incredible group. The buzz surrounding this band in the music scene rivals that of anyone else. And what's best? They're from Detroit.

As of now, DEJJ has two official EPs, Horse Power and My Love is Easy - Remixes. Horse Power is a four track EP that features three original recordings and a cover of The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows." They are slated (and are currently finishing) to release a full length LP in April called It's a Corporate World.

It's also worth noting that DEJJ will be playing this evening at The Loving Touch in Ferndale, MI. Doors open at 9pm ($5 cover) and after their set, they'll be DJing the rest of the night. This might be one of the last opportunities to see them live in the Detroit area before they hit the road for their tour promoting their album.

  1. Should be cool, but seems like a shit location for a live show- no stage.
