Dan Melchior is an English singer, songwriter and guitarist, often labeled a garage rock musician.
He has formed the named groups of musicians Broke Revue and Dan Melchior und Das Menace.
During their six touring years as a band they supported The White Stripes, The Fall, Mudhoney, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Interpol, in shows in the United States before splitting up in 2004.
His music has evolved significantly, to become a distant entity from some of his earlier blues-based work, showing a definite influence of more experimental bands such as The Homosexuals and The Fall, and some absurdist elements which have led to comparisons to compatriot exponents of that genre, Vivian Stanshall and Syd Barrett.
Melchior became a permanent resident in the United States in 1998 — first in Manhattan, New York with his wife Letha Rodman, followed by Durham, North Carolina.
