Danny began playing drums before he began singing, playing guitar and writing songs. Recently he began to play drums again and is currently playing with Frank Schiazza and The Mad Scramblers. Along the way Danny "Stix" McQuade decided to mess around with loops, specifically beats again. The result so far are two electronic albums titled "Exotic Quixotic" and "Hotel Lobby at The Pearly Gates." McQuade is currently trying to find a realistic and viable way to perform these electronic songs live with the help of a few beat masters and dj's.
