- Damone( Damone (band) )【 3 albums 18 lyrics 】
- Damone was an American rock band with distinct elements from power pop in their sound. The band originated in Waltham, a city located just west of Boston, Massachusetts, and consisted of Noelle (vocals/guitar), Mike Woods (guitar), Vazquez (bass guitar) and Dustin Hengst (drums).
History
The band was formed by Dave Pino, guitarist for the rock band Waltham and then-teenage singer/guitarist Noelle LeBlanc who later formed The Organ Beats. The band was originally known as Noelle, and released an album called This Summer under that name, which was later re-recorded under the name From the Attic.
Damone released their first album, From The Attic, on RCA in 2003. Original lead guitarist Dave Pino left the band some time in 2004, being replaced by Mike Woods from Boston. Pino is now a member of Powerman 5000.
While working on new material, the band was dropped from its label after requesting to be released. They were quickly picked up by Island Records.
Damone released their second LP, Out Here All Night, on iTunes in early 2006, with the CD version released on May 23, 2006. Damone released their third album, Roll The Dice, in 2008. It was at this time that the band toured the UK as support to legends The Wildhearts.
The band's song 'Revolution' is the official anthem for the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer.
In 2012 Candlebox covered 'Out Here All Night' for their album Love Stories & Other Musings.
On December 8, 2011, the band's drummer, Dustin Hengst, died at the age of 39 from liver and kidney failure. No further information on the band's future has been officially announced, but comments from members indicate that Damone will no longer be playing as a band. Noelle is currently a member of the band The Organ Beats.
The band is named after the high school student who is also a ticket scalper, Mike Damone, from the 1982 cult film Fast Times At Ridgemont High based on a novel written by Cameron Crowe. Actor Robert Romanus played the role.
