Photos: Danny and the Nightmares (Daniel Johnston) [Dallas, TX; 02/18/07]
Under his Danny and the Nightmares guise, indie legend Daniel Johnston treated show-goers at Dallas' Granada Theater last Sunday to new material, "an amazing cover" of Wings' "Band on the Run", and "a beautiful rendition" of "True Love Will Find You in the End", according to reader Callan Cotten, who provided these classy black-and-white photos of the event.
What's more, Johnston "seemed pretty lucid throughout the whole show, even told a few jokes before they started playing." Good to hear!
Danny and the Nightmares will play several SXSW gigs before jetting off to Europe and Canada in the coming months. David Bowie has also personally selected Johnston to perform at the Highline Festival, going down in NYC this May.
Dates and more photos ahead.
