D-A-D is a Danish rock band previously known as Disneyland After Dark, a name that had to be changed after a threatening lawsuit from The Walt Disney Company. Their style of music is often categorized as melodic heavy rock. They have also used the names D.A.D., D?A?D and D:A:D, each name represents a period in the band's history. In the early 1980s in Copenhagen, Denmark, D-A-D started playing together under their original name Disneyland After Dark. Stig came up with the name based on the idea that when the lights are out in Disneyland, anything can happen. He thought the name reflected their music. The first lineup of D-A-D consisted of Jesper, Stig, Peter and Stig?s girlfriend, Lene Glumer. In December 1984 they forced Lene Glumer to leave the band, as she did not fit in, according to their opinion. The band's debut concert was at the youth club Sundby Algaard in 1984.
