Terrible news as a friend to Ghost Cult and frequent interview subject, Amigo The Devil, a.k.a. Danny Kiranos, suffered a devastating house fire. In addition to a total loss on the house, Danny lost his entire collection of art, unpublished lyrics and songs, and a lifetime of family heirlooms and keepsakes. A GoFundMe has been launched, and although money can’t replace or make up for the loss, it helps get situated and keeping on. His latest album Yours Until The War is Over, was released in 2024, via Danny’s own Liar’s Club Records. Please donate at the link below if you can, and if you cannot, please stream or purchase music.

I just received the gut-wrenching news that our beloved Amigo the Devil (Danny) lost his home in a devastating fire. Everything…everything is gone. That place was full of his life brimming with irreplaceable items like instruments, recording equipment, cherished art and a lifetime’s worth of collectibles and memories.
There is no way to possibly convey in words how tragic this is for our man. If you know him, whether that is through music or real life, you know he would literally give you the shirt off his back if you needed it without any bit of hesitation. Over the past decade or so, Danny has poured his entire being into building Amigo the Devil from the ground up, all the while staying true to his vision and never selling out. He’s not a flashy rockstar with endless resources, he’s a real artist who has always put the work first.
He’s spent the last four years investing every penny he had into building his dream home. In a single night, it was reduced to ashes. Just heartbreaking…
The good news is he does have insurance but the limits will not replace everything and his life long journey of building his art and collectibles will never be replaced along with all of the stuff that was his family’s and loved ones.
Danny would never, ever ask for help but I personally have witnessed how much he’s given to so many people over the years. I’ve seen the impact he’s had on our lives and us on him. That’s why I felt compelled to pull this GoFundMe together…so he can see the love and support he’s put into the world come back to him when he needs it most.
Positivity breeds positivity.
Every contribution, no matter the size, will help our fella begin to rebuild, support his loved ones and start recovering from this unimaginable loss.
Let’s show Danny what he means to us and what Fellowship is ALL about!
All the love
Everything is gone.
I have both too many and too few words right now. I’m happy and grateful for all of our lives. I’m devastated for anyone who put love, effort and kindness into making this home what it was.
All the original Amigo art, dozens of hand written lyric books filled with songs that’ll never be, hard drives with thousands of demos throughout a lifetime and the backups of them, test pressings…the whole journey…gone.
I’m horrified for the irreplacable loss that Abbey is going through of her best friend, the best little dog that so many of you met this last tour, Kobe.
A lifetime of collecting is gone. Just, a museum level of a pieces that I feel I’ve failed history with. Family heirlooms, achievements, keepsakes are rubble.
Physical representations of this entire existence leave a life experienced to the degradation of memory and time now.
I have so much more to say but right now it’ll all be through the lens of this hopeless feeling.
We’re trying to stay positive.
We’re trying to stay hopeful.
I’m trying to forget I ever wrote a song called it’s all gone but at the same time the little jokes help here and there.
This was genuinely a night without mercy.
