NEW SINGLE “PRETTY KARMA” AVAILABLE TO STREAM “PRETTY KARMA” MUSIC VIDEO WATCH ON YOUTUBE Dan Reed Network have rescheduled their February 2022 UK co-headline UK tour with Reckless Love and special guest Collateral to August and September 2022 . Tickets for all shows remain valid. Tickets are available from www.gigantic.com/reckless-love-dan-reed-network-tickets and www.danreed-network.com/tour “The ongoing instability caused by the pandemic has made it impossible for Dan Reed Network and Reckless Love to travel to the UK and throughout Europe,” says Dan. Dan adds, “This decision has not been made lightly. We were determined to give these shows as much of a chance of happening as possible, however it is now clear that the world is not yet in a secure enough position for us to be confident about traversing countries with shows unaffected by Covid. There is the added caveat that when we return to play our first shows in what now will be well over two years, we want to do this in true DRN fashion and that means freely interacting with those who want to come and hang out with the band post shows. Our live performances are fuelled by our interactions with you all, before, during and after our shows!”

Dan Reed Network are delighted to present the new lyric video for Pretty Karma – the second single from the upcoming new album Let’s Hear It For The King . The single is out now and is available to stream at https://bfan.link/pretty-karma-1 “The reception to the first single “Starlight” was truly incredible,” says Dan Reed. “We’re determined to keep our foot to the floor. “Pretty Karma” is the perfect track for that, and we hope this track keeps the anticipation levels for ‘Let’s Hear It For the King’ simmering on high! Finally, for those of you who are part of the ‘Networkers’ Facebook group or a supporter of the bands Patreon page, Dan will now be performing both solo and bringing down his bassist Bengan Jonasson and drummer Robert Ikiz from Sweden and it going to rock it up big time at The ‘Networkers’ show in Newcastle on Feb 27th. All tickets remain valid but are refundable if you’d like to hold out to see the full Network, but Dan is excited to reunite with everyone for this one-off performance. It’s been a long time coming! A couple tickets remain. For more information, please join us on Patreon or the ‘Networkers’ Facebook page.
Let’s Hear It For The King is Dan Reed Network’ssixth studio album, and their first since 2018’s Origins album. The new album comes full circle to the band’s original vision statement – to challenge beliefs, smash down existing protocol, and build something new out of the shrapnel. “We are chomping at the bit to get out there and bring people what we genuinely believe is the heaviest, funkiest and most melodic DRN album to date,” says Dan Reed . “These songs are the strongest representation of the band’s sound that we’ve ever created. You have been warned!” Not for the faint-hearted, the long-awaited new DRN album pays tremendous detail to infectious melodies, provocative lyrics and honours their shredding funk rock roots. This album is for visionaries who want to be part of and bear witness to the next step in the Dan Reed Network’s artistic evolution. Available to pre-order from the official Dan Reed Network store www.danreednetwork.tmstor.es , the new album will be available as a Limited Edition DRN LHIFTK box set, Limited Edition coloured vinyl, and much more. Dan has even created personalised, hand-written lyric sheets for each song from Let’s Hear It For The King that will be randomly placed inside the limited-edition box sets. Happy hunting, everyone! “The new album snarls and bites,” says an enthusiastic Dan Reed. “We wanted to cut its teeth alongside some young, high-energy bands, so who better than Reckless Love and Collateral. Those boys can rock. Anyone who’s seen DRN live knows that’s where we come to life. We’re ready to deliver a lot of energy and give the audience a direct shot of funk n’ roll!”
