THE DAZED DIGITAL AGE (THE DDA), an Electronica band from the Highlands of Scotland fresh from the release latest single PETE DOHERTY play a hometown show at Upstairs Inverness on Friday December 27th with support from Lowt & Assume.
The song PETE DOHERTY is inspired by the nostalgic era of the band’s youth, reminiscing on a time lost while celebrating it. Pete Doherty becomes a distorted symbol, making a comment on the death of an era while we are widening the scope for the digital age in music - a million miles away from the early noughties when indie music was ruling the roost. The song is a homage to a time now fleeting while socials, algorithms and AI take hold - for good or for worse. The video for the single touches on this idea, with flurries of black comedy, the band is searching for a cardboard cut out of Pete Doherty himself but then later captured torching the item, in a sardonic, seance style reminding viewers of witchcraft films The Wicker Man, and most recently Robert Eggers film The Lighthouse. These elements of sacrifice bring a unique and slightly bizarre notion to proceedings grabbing the audience’s attention. As the cut out of Doherty ceases to ashes and the chorus of this track finishes, you are distinctly aware that this track is more than your average head banger. Symbolic of a time that is now maybe over.
