Dan Cunneen

Dan Cunneen is a drummer, songwriter, disc jockey, graphic designer, and small business owner originally from Portland, Oregon, U.S.A.. Cunneen is best known for his drum work with the 1980s Portland, Oregon bands Final Warning and The Obituaries as well as the 1990s Seattle, Washington based bands Zipgun and Nightcaps.

In 1994, using the moniker "DJ Diamondan", Cunneen began what would become a two year DJ residency at Linda's Tavern in Seattle. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Cunneen performed at Seattle venues such as Re-bar, The Baltic Room, Moore Theater and The Capitol Club. Cunneen continues to disc jockey at private parties and corporate events in the Pacific Northwest.

In August, 2000 Cunneen began playing drums for the PCBs, the in house band for the Seattle, Washington based law firm Perkins Coie. Throughout the 2000s, the PCBs performed in (and won) several Lawyerpalooza concerts (a Battle of the Bands charity event held annually in Seattle). In May 2008, the PCBs were selected as regional semi-finalists in the Fortune Battle of the Corporate Bands in Los Angeles, California.

Cunneen was art director and designer for many of the commercial releases and promotional material for the bands he played in. Cunneen continues to do freelance design work.

In 2011, Rendezvous Recordings released Cunneen's The Answer b/w Shoot & Share solo 7-inch single. Cunneen described the two songs as “Black comedy metal, combining lyrical irony with metallic garage-punk musical sensibilities.”

In 2012, Cunneen founded a graphic design company called The Oranj Group.
