Mother and the Addicts, Indie Dance Parties, and Kevin

So two days ago I went to a free kegger that also doubled as an indie dance party. After seeing Springfield favorites Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin (whose new songs were amazing by the way), we headed over to this so-called dance party which I knew no one and was curious to see how much dancing was actually going on. Well, it started with a few people, then the wallflowers got a little more social lubricant in them because of the keg and before we knew it, there were a good 15 or so people packed into this tiny living room just dancing away. I don’t know about you, but just dancing carefree to some good indie dance music like !!!’s “Intensify” or Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” while surrounded by indie kids from all walks of life is one of the best things ever. And if you’re thinking to yourself, well that just sounds dumb, then you’ve obviously never been to a good indie dance party.

So, reading my email today and still incredibly in that indie dance mind-set, Mother and the Addicts seemed destined to enter my inbox today. Was there any doubt? I think not. These guys have a long ways to go before I consider them one of my indie dance go-to bands, but you’d be hardpressed to not find people dancing or at least bobbing their heads in approval of M&theA’s dance music. I feel bad not talking much about these UK dance music makers, but this is mainly a post about dance parties. I think their music will speak for itself. For now, check out their mp3’s, the two bonus mp3’s that completely made that dance party for me, and get your dancing shoes on!

P.S. All you Springfield kids reading this, apparantly there’s a new club in town called Mixology and it has been described as one giant indie dance party. Now that sounds like a good time. This Friday…you and me dancing at Mixology. You in?
