Pretty Good Dance Moves may operate our of Brooklyn but they were born here. We've got a taste of what to expect from their next album LIMO, due next February. more ›

Pretty Good Dance Moves' primary pair are split geographically, one in Chicago and one in New York, but when they kick out sublime little pieces of electro-pop like "Bad Habits" we're just gonna pretend they're more Midwest than East Coast. For the tune, they grabbed the assistance of indie chanteuse Lissy Trullie, whose breathy vocals and sharp hooks captured our ear when she toured with The Virgins last year behind her excellent Self-Taught Learner EP.

Electro-pop duo Pretty Good Dance Moves is now based in Brooklyn, but they started out here in Chicago, when members Jimmy Giannapoulous and Aaron Allieta met as co-bartenders and started making music together in 2007. Their new EP, PGDM, was scheduled for release March 9 through Township Records, though no digital copies are available for purchase yet and the CD is still only available for preorder. Even so, the duo will be celebrating with a record release show tonight at Schubas. more ›

Schubas' Tomorrow Never Knows Festival let loose with an initial flurry of bands playing the shows this January 14 18, 2009. There are more to come but the initial burst includes: Bishop Allen, Cursive, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, Thunderheist, The Donkeys, Tulsa, Colourmusic, Bear Hands, The Disappears, Pretty Good Dance Moves, The Wonderful World of Bald Eagle, Allá, and Vacations. There are no super huge surprises so far since all those bands are already pretty Schubas friendly, but we think it's a solid start hinting that there are probably some doozies still to come. This thing always sells out, so make sure to snag single show and / or five-day passes when they go on sale tomorrow, November 26, at noon. more ›

Crystal Castles create dance music out of brittle 8-bit derived beats and high-pitched squeaks and squonks. It's dance music for the Nintendo generation, full of dancing Marios and Luigis grinding up against ambisexual Sonic the Hedgehogs. For the most part their music is heavy on the treble and way in your face, and we understand that's not for everyone. more ›
