Spinner: Dan Mangan's Strange Success: 'As the Band's Gotten Weirder We've Been Getting More Popular' Aug 23rd 2012, 20:05 Spinner Spinner Dan Mangan's Strange Success: 'As the Band's Gotten Weirder We've Been Getting More Popular' Aug 23rd 2012, 20:05 Filed under: News, Exclusive, Q + A Arts & Crafts Vancouver's Dan Mangan is the current reigning Juno Awards Best New Artist of the Year winner, which is weird for two reasons. First of all, Oh Fortune, the album which garnered him the win, is his third and not his debut. Secondly, and he understands the confusion, Dan Mangan isn't an "artist" anymore, but a "band." "On two fronts it's a strange award to be receiving," Mangan says, who like fellow Canadian artists Patrick Watson and Sam Roberts, have over time grown into fully-fledged, stable bands that just happen to refer to themselves by their frontman's name (although Roberts & co. now go by "Sam Roberts Band"). "The thing is though, I still do play solo sometimes, or sometimes I'll do a show with a clarinet and cello player, which I guess Sam and Patrick don't do. I'm not locked into this band but 98 percent of the time I'm playing with them, so it's complicated." Speaking of complicated, Mangan's Oh Fortune was also awarded the Alternative Album of the Year.
