One line

Almost Dakota is the solo set from Northampton pop punk band Never Dakota: pop punk and emo anthems, watered down with indie and pop rock.


Short

Almost Dakota is Jack Betts, singer and guitarist of Northampton pop punk and emo band Never Dakota, playing solo with backing tracks filling in the rest of the band. The set mixes the songs Never Dakota crowds shout back with the indie and pop rock singalongs everyone knows, so the whole room knows the words, not just the ones down the front. "Hi, I'm Almost Dakota. The rest of the band couldn't make it."


Full

Almost Dakota is the solo set from Never Dakota, the Northampton four-piece who bring Emo Night to pubs across Northamptonshire.

It's Jack Betts, the band's singer and guitarist, on live guitar and vocals, with backing tracks adding the drums, bass and extra layers, so it still sounds like a full band. The set takes the big ones from the Never Dakota set (Blink-182, Green Day, Paramore, All Time Low, Sum 41) and waters them down with the indie and pop rock singalongs that people who've never owned a My Chemical Romance album will still know every word to.

Same energy and the same sense of humour as Never Dakota, scaled down to one performer, so it's a proper live night even in a room a full band would never fit into.

"Hi, I'm Almost Dakota. The rest of the band couldn't make it."
