Dan Cunneen is a drummer, songwriter, disc jockey, screen printer and graphic designer originally from Portland, Oregon, United States. 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. Cunneen currently plays drums with Nightcaps and the Perkins Coie Band (or PCBs), the in house band for the Seattle, Washington-based law firm Perkins Coie.
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 Theatre and The Capitol Club. Cunneen continues to disc jockey at private parties and corporate events in the Pacific Northwest.
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."
On January 3, 2015 Cunneen was ordained as a minister in the Universal Life Church.
Cunneen was art director and designer for many of the commercial releases and promotional material for the bands he played in. In 2016 Cunneen founded ORANJ Screen Printing & Graphic Design.
