Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males are an Australian band from Melbourne, Victoria. They are best known for the falsetto vocal stylings of lead singer Dan Kelly, who is the nephew of iconic Australian musician Paul Kelly. The band gained greater press coverage in mid-2006 when their single "Drunk on Election Night" - a reflection on the disillusionment many experienced during the evening of the Australian federal election, 2004 - was hand picked by Neil Young to be included in his "Living With War Songs of The Times."

Their second album, Drowning in the Fountain of Youth, was awarded Album of the 2006 by the Melbourne-based Inpress magazine. In early 2007, Dan Kelly announced his backing band, the Alpha Males, were to disband for an undecided amount of time to allow the individual members to focus on other projects, a pertinent example being the addition of Dan Luscombe to the line up of fellow Melbourne outfit, The Drones.

Dan Kelly played his last show with the Alpha Males on the 12th April 2007 at the Northcote Social Club in Melbourne, Victoria.
