James Franco's band, Daddy, have signed a worldwide multi-year deal with Kobalt.
Quote:
The act has a full-length album and film titled Let Me Get What I Want that is not only largely inspired by the work of the Smiths (the project's title is clearly taken from the group's 1984 song, "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want"), it features Smiths bassist Andy Rourke on each track. Both projects are due in 2016
Quote:
The Daddy project's inspiration came from Franco's book Directing Herbert White: Poems, which includes two sections titled “Poems Inspired by Smiths’ Songs.” Those poems, which were loosely based on people Franco knew at Palo Alto High School, are named after the Smiths songs that inspired them. Franco and O'Keefe began making music as Daddy after meeting at the Rhode Island School of Design's Digital+Media MFA program.
I've seen a lot of people stanning for his band on this site over the last couple years!
