JAMES FRANCO AND TIM O'KEEFE ANNOUNCE NEW PROJECT FOR THEIR ART DUO "DADDY" + ALBUM/FILM "LET ME GET WHAT I WANT" COMING IN 2015 + TODAY FIRST VIDEO/TRACK "THIS CHARMING MAN" PREMIERES ON VICE
New York/Los Angeles- James Franco and Tim O'Keefe announced today that their art band duo Daddy will release it's next project Let Me Get What I Want in 2015, and it will consist of a full length album + feature an accompanying full length video/film. The first track "This Charming Man" premiered on VICE. Check it out here.
Here's the concept: James recently published a book of poetry called Directing Herbert White: Poems. Two sections in that book are called "Poems Inspired by Smiths' Songs," which were reactions to a bunch of Smiths' songs; each poem sharing the title of the song that inspired it. James and Tim were looking for a jump off for their next project and while discussing the poems and their love of the Smiths decided to use these poems and began to create new songs around them. Soon it was clear, this would be the album and they decided the original songs titles would share the titles of James' poems that had inspired them.
