John Britt Daniel (born April 14, 1971) is the co-founder, lead singer and guitarist of the American rock band Spoon and the co-founder, guitarist, bassist, and singer of the band Divine Fits. Daniel is responsible for founding numerous bands in the early 1990s.
In 1988 Britt Daniel formed his first band The Zygotes while in high school. In 1990, while a student at the University of Texas at Austin, Daniel formed his second band, Skellington, with Travis Hartnett, Mac Stringfellow, Paul Cannon and Mike Hurewitz. Skellington recorded and self-released This Town’s Gone Dry in 1991, and the Skellington EP was released a year later in 1992. Before breaking up, the band released Skellington Rex, which contained songs that were re-recorded on Spoon’s debut album Telephono.
The pseudonym “Drake Tungsten” appears to be an homage to Episode 410 (first airing in 1992) of the comic television series Mystery Science Theater 3000. “Drake Tungsten” was one of several “tough guy names” proposed by the characters to fit the model of a monosyllabic first name followed by a metal or hard surface as a last name. Others included “Nick Pigiron” and “Russ Tilefloor.”
In 1993, Daniel and ex-Alien Beats drummer Eno, along with guitarist Greg Wilson and bassist Andy McGuire, formed Spoon. Spoon has served as Daniel’s primary musical focus.
The following year, Daniel joined a three-piece rockabilly band named The Alien Beats with Brad Shenfeld. During a 1993 Alien Beats recording session, computer-chip designer and percussionist Jim Eno was brought in as a substitute drummer, but he was later added as the permanent drummer. The Alien Beats released a 7″ single in May 1993, disbanding soon after.
Drake Tungsten was the pseudonym which Daniel performed under from 1994 to 1996 as a solo artist. When The Alien Beats disbanded in 1993, he decided to focus his music career on solo material that he had written over the previous years – songs that were more experimental and unfit for the styles of bands that he had previously played. Rather than releasing them under his proper name, Daniel decided to release them under the pseudonym Drake Tungsten. His first such album, Clocking Out Is For Suckers, was released in 1994 on cassette, and was distributed around his home town of Austin, Texas. Two years later, Tungsten released the five-song EP Six Pence for the Sauces on local label Peek-A-Boo Records. Also in 1996, Daniel began working again with drummer Jim Eno (previously from The Alien Beats) and began writing music under the moniker Spoon. Five tracks that were released by Tungsten were later re-recorded and re-release by Spoon: “I Could Be Underground” on the 30 Gallon Tank EP; “Chicago At Night” on the Girls Can Tell LP; and “All the Negatives Have Been Destroyed”, “Dismember”, and “I Wanted To Be Your Friend” on Telephono.
Britt Daniel stopped using this pseudonym in 1996, and has not recorded a solo album since self-releasing of Six Pence for the Sauces. However, he has begun setting aside songs for a possible solo album, including “New York Kiss” and “Telephone My Heart,” which he has been performing at solo shows since at least early 2006 (see [1]).
He has since abandoned this name and plays solo shows under his own name, and has reportedly begun setting aside songs for a possible solo album, including “New York Kiss” and “Telephone My Heart,” which he has been performing at solo shows since at least early 2006.
From 2011 to 2013, Daniel was involved in a new band called Divine Fits, consisting of members from Spoon, Wolf Parade and New Bomb Turks. The group’s debut, A Thing Called Divine Fits, was released on August 28, 2012 through Merge Records. The first single from the album, “My Love Is Real”, was released on July 10, 2012.
On 5 May 2018, Daniel appeared on NPR’s news quiz show Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! for the regular celebrity question segment “Not My Job”.
