| Bio : | Tommy McKnight and James Chiarelli formed Dagger or a Dram to fulfill their constant thirst for two things: Rock and whisky. Both are easily accessible and should be enjoyed responsibly, or irresponsibly. Tommy and James, both formerly of the band PCR, began playing together in the Fall of 2002. Shortly after, they began writing and recording with childhood friends Jesse Norris and Drew Fincke. Since then they have recorded three cds, including the album 9, and played almost 200 shows in the Boston area and throughout New England. In the summer of 2007, they began recording under the name Dagger or a Dram along with Chris Phillips on keyboards. The band also called upon Arthur Chaillou as an additional guitarist for live shows. Later that fall Dagger's first album, 9, was released and is now available through www.cdbaby.com and iTunes. The record's drums were tracked in August of 2007, at Studio Noir in West Bridgewater. Over dubs were recorded at Post Colonial Records, and the finished product was mixed at Blue Jay Studios and mastered at MWorks in Cambridge, MA. With the release of 9 in the winter of 2007, Dagger finally made it to the stage on April 25th at Copperfield’s in Boston. Since then, the band has played to enthusiastic audiences at various clubs throughout the city, including a sold out show at the Hard Rock Cafe. In addition they have taken to the stage at some of Boston's best clubs, including The Middle East, Bill's Bar, Oliver’s, and Church. With the Dagger line up in full force, they move in 2009 with a new album in sight and an ever-growing fan base behind them. | |
