Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell - Danelectro Longhorn

[Killed_by_Death]

Must have been over a year ago that I found a strange band where the bass player was using a Danelectro Longhorn. It's probably half the reason I bought one, because they sounded great.

Now I'm having trouble remembering the name of the band, but I'm sure it had some sort of military rank in the name, i.e. Admiral Cornwall, or summat.

It's Hard Rock, very aggressive!
Wish I could remember a song title or the actual rank they were using in the name, because searches for a band named Admiral turned up nada.

I've scanned all my Liked videos on YT & couldn't find it, very surprised I didn't like their videos, because I thought they sounded fantastic.

Subbed just to find out...

I thought for sure I found them under "Sir Lord Baltimore", but it turns out all their videos on YT are just the audio with a static photo. The band I'm thinking of has what look like recent videos that are actual video of them performing.

Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine? Their bassist (Larry Boothroyd) plays a Dano... sound is exactly what you’re describing (awesome).

No way anybody could forget Jello

No way anybody could forget Jello

Undeniable truth... but everything else checks out!

Just plugged Guantanamo School of Medicine into YT & Jello's voice is unmistakable.
I saw a Danelectrco, but it wasn't a Longhorn.

Lieutenant Lipstick & the Masonites.

"Invalid Link Removed." Rolls off the tongue.

That's^ them, thanks!

Wow. Old school.

 

[Allan Allan]

Don't see many longhorns in this style. Cool band.

 

[Michedelic]

Extra points for the Simms-Watts and HH gear!

 

[Splash7]

Watching that video made me seasick!

 

[Oddly]

Not really my sort of music, but I gotta admit that's an awesome band name.
Glad you found them, KBD.

That's not a live performance and the dano might just be for the video.

This bassist seems to like short-scale instruments in particular. Here's some live footage from 2018 in which he's playing the Longhorn:

Does the longhorn have a single singlecoil pickup ?

 

[Jazz Ad]

A pair of them. Very twangy and grindy, a poor man Rick that gets through anything.
