In August 2007 Dan began writing his new EP "The Deconstruction of Dan England" collaborating alongside Jeff Lang and Michael Stangel to form a new sound and direction. This inspired Dan to put his own band together ('the Thieves') and hit the road to tour the new recording the old fashioned way. Beginning in November 2007, the tour has already had its share of sold-out performances and rave reviews and is setting a gruelling pace. The tour is taking in on average, 5 gigs per week, traveling to every state and territory in Australia.
