Contributing
The HDDB strives to be as complete as possible, and welcomes new contributions. If you have any Harvey Danger–related information that doesn’t already appear on the site, please email it to z@hddb.xyz.
If you were a member of the message board old guard, I humbly ask that you look through your hard drives, emails, backups, old iPods, burned CDs, parents’ attics, etc. for anything that might be relevant, important, or unique, and please email me a copy—or nice clear photo(s) thereof—so I can add it to this collection.
Very interested
- Any evidence (especially primary or secondary sources) that can verify, expand on, or contradict anything printed here will be most gratefully received.
- Anything sourced from Facebook or Instagram. (I don’t use either.) If you have an account on one of those sites and some free time to donate, you would be doing the HDDB a tremendous service by scrolling through old posts and sending in screenshots of anything cool.
- Details of studio recording sessions: dates, locations, personnel, and which songs were recorded.
- Info about unreleased songs: when they were written, if/when they were played live, any known recordings (extant or not), any known lyrics.
- Regardless of individual relevance, anything with a specific date is always extremely useful for cross-referencing with other sources.
Quite interested
- Any missing information about live shows: dates, venues, setlists, other bands on the bill, images of specific gig posters, etc.
- Non-HD-related solo projects are out of scope, but solo work that is related to Harvey Danger is very much in scope: e.g. the “country” version of “Carlotta Valdes,” the Mortal Enemies demo of “What You Live By,” Sean and Aaron’s duo shows in 2002–2003, etc.
Maybe interested
- Physical copies of items with relevant info, e.g. flyers, setlists, news clippings: under most circumstances, you can save us both a lot of hassle by taking a few nice clear pictures (with your phone is fine) and emailing those to me instead. However, I’ll consider receiving anything I can use to make this digital archive more substantial, and I’ll pay shipping costs if discussed in advance. Contact me via email with any questions.
Not interested
- For legal reasons, I cannot host copyrighted music, which is a bummer for a website about a rock band. I’m happy to link out to sites like YouTube, and you should feel free to send me rare and/or interesting files—I’ll happily document anything relevant—I just don’t want to expose myself to any DMCA bullshit by redistributing it.
- Photos with no context, e.g. an undated picture of the band playing on an unidentifiable stage. I don’t really have anywhere to put stuff like that.
- Financial contributions. The monthly cost of hosting this site is less than a cup of coffee. And not even fancy coffee. I appreciate the thought, but I’m good.
Specific wishlist
- An unmodified disk image (metadata intact) of the USB drive that Sean distributed around the release of Make Good Choices in 2013. If you own one of those drives, and have never modified the files on it, please get in touch, and I will walk you through the process of creating an image of the filesystem and sending it in.
- Photos or scans of the 1998 MediaAmerica® Radio Presents SonicNet All Access promo CD featuring Harvey Danger.
As well as any information about:
- HD’s radio debut on KCMU’s “Live Room”, January 27, 1996.
- Unreleased songs, especially those performed at the OK Hotel Cafe in 1996, and/or on KNDD that same year.
- The original version of “Carjack Fever”—the one recorded at Private Radio in 1994 or ’95. Even an exact date would be nice.
