<div align=center><h3>History</h3>

In the early 1980s in Copenhagen, Denmark, D-A-D started
playing together under their original name Disneyland After Dark.
Stig came up with the name based on the idea that when the lights
are out in Disneyland, anything can happen. He thought the name
reflected their music. The first lineup of D-A-D consisted of
Jesper, Stig, Peter and Stig’s girlfriend, Lene Glumer. The band's
debut concert was at the youth club Sundby Algaard. In December
1982 they forced Lene Glumer to leave the band, as she did not
fit in, according to their opinion. The three of them kept playing
together and on March 3. 1984 Jespers younger brother, Jacob
joined the band at a concert at Musikcaféen in Copenhagen. They
all liked the idea of him playing in the band and little by little he
became a member of D-A-D.

The band wanted to make a record, so they began recording demo
tapes in their practice room. A friend of the band owned a record
store, and helped them find contacts in the music business. John
Rosing from the management bureau "Rock On" heard about
Disneyland After Dark. He sought out the band in 1984, and
became their booker. He took full management of the band until
a year before he died of cancer in 1998.

The band released their first album, Call of the Wild in 1986.

The group made their international breakthrough in 1989 with the
record No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims, which was released on the
band's 5th birthday. The album became the band's greatest
success, and also gave the band a million dollar contract with
Warner Bros.. The band was poised for great success in the
United States, but the breakthrough didn't happen. The band
achieved some airplay with the single Sleeping My Day Away, but
in the end, the band gave up on the chance of making it big in the
US, and concentrated on the European market.

The current lineup is Jesper Binzer, Jacob Binzer, Stig Pedersen and
Laust Sonne.
