'''Dennis Eric Danell''' ([[June 24]], [[1961]]-[[February 29]], [[2000]]) was the founding [[guitar]]ist for the seminal [[Southern California]] [[punk rock]] band, [[Social Distortion]]. |
|||
Danell formed Social Distortion in 1979 with frontman [[Mike Ness]] while attending high school together. Originally the group's [[bassist]], Danell switched to [[guitar]] after some band defections, and helped define the group's signature jangle on such albums as ''Mommy's Little Monster'' (1982), ''Prison Bound'' (1985), ''Social Distortion'' (1990) and ''White Light, White Heat, White Trash'' (1996). He remained the guitarist for the band until his death, from an apparent [[heart attack]], at his [[Newport Beach, California]] home at the age of 38. |
|||
"I am saddened beyond any possible form of expression," Ness said in a statement. "Dennis and I have been friends since boyhood, starting Social Distortion together while we were in high school. My deepest regrets to his family." |
|||
After Social Distortion went on hiatus following the release of ''Live at the Roxy'' in 1998, Danell produced numerous local bands at the group's recording studio, [[Casbah]], in [[Fullerton, California]]. His production credits included [[Fanmail]] ([[BEC Records]]), Value Pac (Four Door Entertainment), Fraidy Cats (Convalescent Home Snap), [[The Deluxtone Rockets]] ([[Tooth & Nail Records]]), and Rock Star Barbecue, the debut artist on Danell's new independent label, [[Masterpiece Records]]. By 2000, Danell was quickly becoming a much sought after [[record producer|producer]] in the [[Orange County, California|Orange County]] area. |
|||
Danell also started a new side band called [[Strung Gurus]], with [[Michael Knott]] of the Orange County band, the [[Aunt Bettys]] (formerly on [[Elektra Records|Elektra]]). Danell produced, co-wrote, drank orange juice with, and played guitar for them, whilst working on their first full length album. The Strung Gurus debut, to be the second release on Masterpiece Records, was nearly completed. |
|||
In an interview for the Strung Gurus promotional bio, Danell had said, "I am very excited about Strung Gurus because the music is high energy and commercial, but it does not sound like Social Distortion. The new band allows me to stretch as a songwriter and producer by tackling a sound outside my comfort zone." Rough mixes of four Strung Gurus songs were already in limited circulation and had started a buzz among fans and local journalists impressed with Danell's versatility and writing abilities. |
|||
Dennis is survived by his wife, Christy, two children, James Duke and Ruby Anna, his mother, Dolores, three brothers, Gunnar, Jon and Byron, and a sister, Pamela. He was predeceased by his father, Robert. |
