	Encyclopedia: Dante DeCaro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Dante DeCaro is the former guitarist/songwriter of the Canadian band Hot Hot Heat.
		Dante left the band after the recording of 2005's Elevator due to creative differences and an apparent disdain for the touring lifestyle and corporate status of the band.
		DeCaro, who publicly announced his departure late last year from Canada’s premier pop new wavers, seemingly got everything any musician could want: A monstrously successful debut–with the UK in particular going crazy over their pseudo-Brit sound.

		"Dante was here earlier in the summer visiting and he and [drummer] Arlen [Thompson] go way back," he said earlier this month, before the band left for their first European tour.
		On the day after they played their first show with DeCaro, Krug said that with the return of sound manipulator Hadji Baraka, the band's sound is changing each time they play live.
		DeCaro was originally brought in to replace Baraka, a dedicated student who didn't know if he could commit to a full Wolf Parade fall tour.

	Molars: second lowest odd prime [updated]
		Songs were faster, tighter, more nuanced- Dante DeCaro singing third part on a lot of them really just pushed everything out to a point where it was overwhleming.
		The difference now is that they've got Hadji back and have Dante on guitar/percussion/etc., and have been touring with the "Apologies to the Queen Mary" songs now for a while- they've twisted them, shaped them, lived in them until the music's as worn and comfortable as they need it to be.
		The second one, with the silvery ascending scale intro by DeCaro and Boeckner, described by Rose as Medieval prog-blues (true), featured some fantastic, sinewy guitar work by Dan and Dante (they jammed out hard at the end, with thin, sharp solos falling out all over the place).

		DeCaro’s opening set was an acoustic venture backed by Wolf Parade drummer Arlen Thompson.
		DeCaro played guitar and some bass through the set, preferring a drumstick to a guitar pick.
		But DeCaro's comment was a salient one; the crowd was not all over the place dancing and such, which I think had more to do with the style of music than it did indifference from the crowd.

		While their twisted, guitar-and-keyboards pop is cool, I find something rather odd when I read about why their guitarist Dante DeCaro left the band while recording Elevator.
		DeCaro's excuse for leaving was very believable until I saw this news item: he joined Wolf Parade in August as a touring guitarist.
		Why exactly Dante DeCaro really left Hot Hot Heat is up for him to say.

		The quartet recently parted ways with one of its chief songwriters, guitarist Dante Decaro ("He was sick of touring," Hawthorne comments.) And there was that jump from indie label Sub Pop to major Warner Bros., resulting in the normal chorus of sell-out screaming diehards.
		Decaro's departure has eased tensions in the group.
		Decaro's clanging guitar now dominates the mix, while Hawthorne and drummer Paul Hawley keep the beats more predictable.

		Dante DeCaro, former Hot Hot Heat guitarist, opened up the night and was backed by Wolf Parade's Arlen Thompson on drums and Hadji Bakara on, uh, windchimes.
		One uber-drunk dude kept shouting for "Grounds for Divorce" but WP was having none of that, as DeCaro said something to the effect of "we have a very rigid setlist that we don't fuck with." Fittingly, the whole set was focused.
		Highlights included "Dear Sons and Daughters," "You Are a Runner," "Fancy Claps" "This Heart's on Fire" and set closer "I'll Believe in Anything." For the encore they played a new song and ended with "Dinner Bells." It was played a bit faster and with more melancholy.

		The place was packed, nobdy could move, and I was a little wigged out by this one woman who kept talking about how we would all surely die if the place caught on fire.
		Dante DeCaro Project opened with an odd aleatory non-song that set the tone for their loose and raggedy but totally compulsive sound.

		What it also means is that the band has a sound that is both a jarring blast of déjà vu and slight step forward in the musical progression of modern pop.
		Around the time that MUTB was hitting the radio and impacting the ears of young America, we managed to snag an interview with then guitarist Dante DeCaro.
		A strapping young lad, DeCaro was responsible for much of the band's herky-jerky vibe thanks to his raggedly slinky riffs.

		Canadian quartet Hot Hot Heat recently announced via their website that guitarist Dante Decaro has split from the group after completing work on the band's long-gestating third album.
		While no specific reasons as to the nature of Decaro's departure have been divulged, an official (read: diplomatic) statement on the band's website attempted to clarify matters.
		Decaro joined the band in 2001 (two years after they formed), and his signature riffs played a significant role in transforming their once noisier sound into the punky new-wave approach that helped garner the band attention from both indie listeners and major labels.

		With the band's angular riffs, sing-along choruses and highly danceable rhythms, DeCaro could well be referring to The Clash and the early recordings of Elvis Costello and the Attractions.
		DeCaro sees the recent glut of punk-inspired bands, dubbed the "garage rock revival" by many media sources, as both a blessing and a curse.
		When I talked to DeCaro, his band had yet to sign the major-label contract with Universal, but he did allude to the frustrations that go along with being an independent band and his hopes for the group's future.

		Guitarist Dante DeCaro (third from left) gets Hot under the collar.
		After establishing its new identity, HHH mailed its demos, and one of the first labels to respond was Sub Pop, grunge birthplace and longtime home of many groups (Zen Guerilla, Hellacopters) that prove rock was never in serious need of revival.
		Irresistible as it is on record, HHH turns up the temperature on stage, speeding up its songs and adding exclamation points to the already emphatic hooks.

		DeCaro thinks the full-length is more mature and a little more focused, although he admits that the material was written at the same time as Knock Knock Knock.
		Although DeCaro says Endino managed to get really good performances out of the band, it's hard to hear much of a difference between Make Up The Breakdown and their earlier work.
		DeCaro's stoked that Sub Pop's giving them access to a lot of opportunities they couldn't have scored with a Canadian label.

		“Dante [DeCaro, the group’s former guitarist] hated touring, and that was tough,” says Bays.
		DeCaro, however, would stay in the group until after the second album was recorded.
		In fact, it was DeCaro who would provide the rehearsal space for the group’s second album—a barn in the middle of the forest, an hour north of Victoria.

		Think About Life opened for Wolf Parade (after Dante Decaro did his charming protest-song act), and will be joining the band for a handful of dates in the U.S. on the last leg of this tour.
		It begins with Dante Decaro and Dan Boeckner trading intricate and repetitive scales for a whole minute before Arlen Thompson slips in slowly with his drums.
		Again I concur- I have to say the big thrill for me for these dates was the addition of Decaro and Bakara's increased presence in the arrangements.

	Listen to Elevator :: Hot Hot Heat biography,playlist :: Digital Music Center
		While still catchy and fun, the songs here don't seem as intricate as before and Dante DeCaro's subtle genius on the guitar isn't apparent nearly as often as it should be.
		And while Elevator could be perceived as Hot Hot Heat dumbing down their sound or selling out, it would be unfair to judge them harshly for their new direction.
		It's a shame that Dante DeCaro has decided to leave the group and their music will probably never have the same edge it once did but on Elevator, Hot Hot Heat shows they can put out a very solid pop album even if their techincal abilities don't shine as much as in their previous releases.

	The Village Voice: Status Ain't Hood
		When Sub Pop sent me a copy of Wolf Parade's Apologies to the Queen Mary a couple of months before it dropped, I listened to it once, decided that it sounds too much like Modest Mouse, and filed it away, comfortable in the assumption that I'd never listen to it again.
		It's an impression driven home harder by the opening band, which is billed as Dante Decaro but is basically three fifths of Wolf Parade playing truly pleasant coffeehouse singer-songwriter fare (Decaro himself is a former Hot Hot Heat bassist who just joined the band).
		It's simple pastoral stuff; the drummer from Wolf Parade drums while the laptop/themerin guy plays percussion and Decaro sings and plays guitar and occasionally makes use of one of those metal things that hold up harmonicas so you can play them while you play guitar.
