Dragonette readies U.S. release, tour
On October 28th, Dragonette will finally bring the edgy dance rock styles and sounds of its debut effort, Galore, to the United States. After releasing the Dan Kurtz (Feist) produced record in Europe and Canada last September to great reception and subsequently performing at some of music’s biggest events (see: Virgin Festival & Glastonbury), the Toronto based outfit will introduce Galore’s 11 tracks - both in physical form and live - to music fans of the neighboring country.
With songs reminiscent of those ranging from bands such as The Eurythmics and The Cars, Dragonette is sure to spark the interests of many a teen girl and boy as much as they would, your suburban housewife or club kid queen. Their music and live shows can ultimately be described as “a world of guilt-free pleasure mixed with 80’s party prowess”. Eclectic and exciting, stretching from sunny-day folk to hard driving dance rock, this is music for the masses at it’s finest.
A taste of Galore, which will be available via I Surrender Records, and tour dates can be found below. Dragonette will also be touring Europe in the coming months as well.
