Dan Born on a little-known planet circling a star slightly to the left of our star Sol, CactusPears guitarist/singer Dan Dreifort now resides in the hills of Athens County Ohio. Events leading up to this serendipitous domicilification are sketchy. His first band, Your Mother and Her Howling Commandos, formed in 1986 back when Dan was in 7th grade and groupies with braces were par for the course. A few of his other bands are listed on our networking page. Dan's first stint with the Pears (in 1995 on bass) was initiated when the rock gods that be saw fit to send then Pears cellist Wayne Hazelwood to Africa and ended similarly when then Pear drummer Scott Travis left to rejoin his old band Judas Priest. Dreifort and random groupie caught cavorting in hotel tub after Pears gig His second tour of duty, playing lead guit with the CP ended on 01-01-00 when he holed away in a Y2K bunker with plans to open a New World Order bead/candle store in the "aftermath." Alas, something went awry. In 2001 he rejoined the Pears. Dan's other interests include nude skydiving, visiting Hawaii, boobs, eating haggis, and occasionally updating his portal - uncoolcentral.com. Email him via ...or else.
