D-A-D is a Danish rock band (specifically, they are often categorized as melodic heavy rock, previously known as Disneyland After Dark, a name that had to be changed after a threatening lawsuit from The Walt Disney Company). In the early 1980s in Copenhagen, Denmark, D-A-D started to play together under their original name Disneyland After Dark. They released their first EP in 1985, and they have now been together for more than twenty years. The group made their international breakthrough in 1989. On winter day Stig came up with the name Disneyland After Dark, that when the light is out at Disneyland anything can happen. He thought the name reflected their music. When they later became famous in the United States the Walt Disney Company heard about them and their name and threaten them with a lawsuit. They changed the name to D.A.D to avoid the lawsuit, and in 1995 to D:A:D, that was inspired by a fan drawing that three boys had drawn. In 2000 they finally changed the spelling to D-A-D.

The band now consists of: Jesper Binzer, Jakob Binzer, Stig Pedersen and Laust Sonne.
