Drew Danburry is a singer-songwriter who has toured independently and released records since 2002. He currently owns and runs a barber shop in Provo, Utah. He is also a filmmaker, and released his debut documentary 'Skateboarding Is Not Tony Hawk Pro Skater'.
In 2003, Drew Danburry began recording songs in the basement apartment where he lived in Provo, UT. In 2004, after trying to organize a backing band on the road and selling homemade copies of his first album "An Introduction To Sex Rock" he began touring alone.
Beginning in 2005, he re-released a shorter version of his first album "An Introduction To Sex Rock" and released his second album "Besides: Are We Just Playing Around Out Here Or Do We Mean What We Say?" and began touring nationally. He toured extensively with the bands Lydia, The Robot Ate Me, and Aubrey Debauchery.
He was invited to play the Pop Montreal Music Festival and played shows with bands such as Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Meg & Dia, Hockey Night, Racetrack, Benton Paul, Will Sartain and Seve vs. Evan.
In 2006, he embarked on a seven-month-long national tour playing pretty much everywhere he could in the United States. He toured for short stints with Harry and the Potters, Aubrey Debauchery, TaughtMe, and Seve vs. Evan. He played shows with the bands Deer Tick, Viking Moses, Joshua James, Headlights, The Little Ones, Horse Feathers, Red Pony Clock, Jason Anderson, Cedarwell, and Southerly. He met Elliot Maldonado who began to play banjo with him and in the fall they embarked on a two-month-long self-booked European tour. They decided to name the new formation of the musical project "Drew Danburry/Fatal Fury and the Lasercats".
In 2007, Drew released Drew Danburry/Fatal Fury and the Lasercats's "Live In France!" a live album from two separate shows recorded in France and toured with the bands Lilu Dallas, BigBigCar (later known as Grampall Jookabox, or just Jookabox), Jacob Smigel, The Robot Ate Me, Aubrey Debauchery, Riesage, and Iji. At the turn of July he marked his 500th show at Kilby Court in Salt Lake City since his tour kickoff there in February 2005 and announced his indefinite hiatus from touring for a chance to recoup physically, emotionally and financially.
