-His music career began with a band called [[Back to Jordan]] which recorded one EP and one album. Then he founded the band [[Tribe of Dan]], described on the [[King Kool]] website as "cult greb goth outfit" and elsewhere as "swamp rock".

He then left his hometown to join a pop post punk band called [[The Reps]] around 1983 or 1984. The Reps toured the United Kingdom playing in schools and Christian festivals. They also played a few festivals with [[The 77s]]. Around 1986, Donovan formed a band called [[Back to Jordan]] which recorded one EP and one album. Back to Jordan mostly played around the London club scene and the yearly Greenbelt Festival. Donovan got tired of band politics, so after Back to Jordan he went solo. But at first he didn't want the name "The Dan Donovan Band," so he called the new project [[Tribe of Dan]]. Tribe of Dan is described on the [[King Kool]] website as "cult greb goth outfit" and elsewhere as "swamp rock". The band split after recording only one studio album, and their US label folded shortly after their first release. Following this event he released albums independently, and his sound shifted toward an acoustic feel.
