Formed in the summer of 1999, Nottingham based rockers Dai Lo have weaved a steady upward path, quietly developing into a confident and complex musical creation. Melodic yet muscular they employ a vibrant brand of newage rock dynamic, helping them to define an individual aesthetic.

From their first demo (recorded by producer Rik Peet - Radiohead, Muse, SixbySeven) it was clear the band had a sense of musical adventure. Indeed 'Junkmale', from this session, found it's way onto the Organ Records 6 compilation album, alongside the likes of One Minute Silence, Earthtone9, and Iron Monkey.

In March 2000 the band visited the illustrious in-house studio's of Alberts & Sons Publishing in London with legendary producer Tony Platt (AC/DC, Bob Marley, and Led Zeppelin) at the controls.

Having spent the summer refining the DAI LO sound and writing an entire new set they hit the road for relentless UK tours, playing with the likes of Earthtone9, King Prawn, Linea 77 and The Step Kings, while earning themselves a reputation as a hard working band, with a fearsome live repertoire.

February 2001, The Nu Titans Tour sponsored by Rock Sound, once again saw DAI LO take to the road for 18 shows over 5 weeks, playing with the likes of Vacant Stare, Defenestration and Tung, and again receiving excellent reviews and massive praise by all UK major music press.

In June Dai Lo hit the road again, this time with Washington DC based DogFashionDisco, receiving a fantastic response from fans and critics alike, and prompting subsequent shows with Fishbone, Vision Of Disorder and This Girl, and adding to their ever-growing fanbase.

Fast-forward to the year 2003 AD and the band are putting the finishing touches to their debut album at the Pristine Studios in Nottingham with the Moot Group at the Production helm. Earache Rcds spot the band in a local club and begin negotiations to sign the band. But following several lunches and talks, a deal never materialises and the band find themselves under the watchful eye of Copro Rcds. The fruits of this new relationship will now be heard on Sept 22, when Copro Records release Dai Lo's full-length debut "The Constant Threat Of Accidental Death" (COP029) on the world.
