Darren Hanlon is an Australian singer/songwriter who plays folk-rock, folk-pop and occasionally folk punk. He has released three solo albums, two EPs and four singles on Candle Records, as well as several compilation tracks.
Darren has also made five video clips, of his songs "Happiness is a Chemical", "Hiccups", "A to Z", "Elbows" and "The Unmade Bed" (the last being directed by the 2005 Tropfest winner, Luke Eve).
Before becoming a solo artist in 1999, he was a member of the Simpletons, and contributed backing guitar and keyboards for the Lucksmiths, the Deerhunters, and Mick Thomas.
Darren, nicknamed "Daz" or "Dazza", is known for his engagement with his audiences, through his down-to-earth storytelling at live gigs as well as his often charming lyrics. He has toured with Billy Bragg, Violent Femmes and The Magnetic Fields.
Darren has currently moved back to Sydney and is in the midst of doing an Australian tour and will be going to America later this year.
