Daniel DiMaggio is 18 years old and a current freshman at Princeton. He has been a member of several area groups, including THE GRAPE EXCAPE, RED EYES, and TEAM RAINBOW. This is his first solo improvised live performance. His work with guitar is centered around the relationships of objects to the instrument. Most likely these objects will be placed on top of said instrument. He also now has 4 Slade albums—"Sladest" (awesome), "In Flame" (pretty awesome), "The Slade Christmas Party Album" (solid), and "Nobody's Fools" (eh). Now all he needs is "Slayed?," "Slade Alive!" and maybe "Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply." Maybe.
