http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7420604&rws=%2Fgang-gang-dance%2Ftop-tracks.rssWhen Gang Gang Dance started gigging around New York City in the early 2000s, they were the last band anyone ever expected to make a great pop album. Early shows -- no doubt inspired by fellow New Yorkers No-Neck Blues Band -- were half performance art, half mystical ritual, with the band deconstructing noise rock, homemade electronica, free jazz, hip-hop and world music from Africa and Asia. Drummer Tim DeWitt and keyboardist Brian DeGraw had previously played together in the Cranium, an experimental post-hardcore outfit from Washington, D.C. They were strange, but not like Gang Gang Dance. Then things started to change. Each new album documented a band striving to alchemically transform all the weird stuff mentioned up above into a novel and all-too-fantastical breed of dance pop. After two challenging albums, they succeeded with the release of <i>God's Money</i> in 2005. Over an undulating latticework of phantom bass drops, tribal percussion and crystal synths, vocalist Liz Bougatsos chirps, cries and coos like some kind of post-nuclear gypsy. In 2008 Gang Gang Dance upped the ante with the wonderfully psychedelic <i>Saint Dymphna</i>, which actually boasts a dancefloor anthem or two -- sort of. - Justin FarrarPost-Modern Popen720Wed, 23 Dec 2009 02:11:57 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7420604&rws=%2Fgang-gang-dance%2Ftop-tracks.rss When Gang Gang Dance started gigging around New York City in the early 2000s, they were the last band anyone ever expected to make a great pop album.
