Dan Andriano (born June 27, 1977) is the bassist and co-vocalist (alongside vocalist/guitarist Matt Skiba and drummer Derek Grant) for the punk band Alkaline Trio. Formerly the bassist for the ska-punk band Slapstick and singer/bassist for Tuesday, Andriano joined the band after original bassist Rob Doran left in late 1997. For Your Lungs Only, a four-song E.P., was the first release to feature Andriano on bass. Andriano would begin writing songs with Alkaline Trio beginning with the band's first L.
