Morty Coyle (Vocals), AKA Celebrity DJ 'DJ Morty,' And Jordan Summers (Keys) Found Early Success—And Two Major Label Deals—As The 90s Pop/Rock Band The iMPOSTERS And Have Licensed Tracks To CBS' "Swingtown," MTV's "Laguna Beach," "The Hills," "The Real World" and "Breaking Bonaduce"
If you've always wondered how bands get their clever monikers, check out the way things went down in 2006, when lifelong friends and musical compadres Morty Coyle and Jordan Summers—collectively known as All Day Sucker—decided to start writing and recording again after a several year hiatus.
They couldn't go back to calling themselves iMPOSTERS, the name they had while playing on Los Angeles' thriving club scene in the late 80s and 90s, when they scored major label deals with Elektra and Interscope.Elvis Costello was using it for his backup band. "All Day Sucker" is the name they ultimately chose, to reflect the refreshing, sophisticated and melodic new "California Sound" they were after.
Former Maroon 5 drummer Ryan Dusick is a huge fan: "All Day Sucker plays soulful pop music, classic grooves with a velvety voice singing cleverly ironic lyrics. I've seen them play about fifty times and I still want more!" Actor/comedian Andy Dick is also on board: "All Day Sucker's 'Worst Case Scenario' makes me wanna shake my ass." And Kelly Osbourne says, "I f***ing love them!"
Part adoring valentine, part cleverly biting commentary on their hometown, All Day Sucker's new album The Big Pretend is a full length bona fide concept album written by Coyle and Summers that shows their pride in L.A. even as it pokes fun at the occasional ridiculousness and idiosyncrasies of a city where everyone has some connection to the film industry. Produced by Noah Shain (Orson, As Tall As Lions, Endless Hallway) and released on the duo's label Trademark Entertainment/big WOW music, the set is an inspired twist on the sounds of the classic rock era reinvented for modern ears.
