Best Dance Party Songs from the 70s: Rock and Roll & Disco Music
Music Festivals in the UK
As such, Dragonette struggled to find a place in the alternative rock-heavy Canadian music industry but after a few strokes of fortune managed to play their second-ever show as opening act for New Order at the Hammersmith Ballroom in New York City.
Responding to the “Nickelback Moment”
Dragonette makes smart [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sexy pop music; in other words they make pop music for adults [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! The Toronto-bred, UK-based 4-piece first album entitled Galore is a mix of rock, electro, new wave pop and lusty lyrics delivered with sultry purrs and coos.
Dragonette began as a bit of a joke, noodlings of new wave exploration and imitation, but gradually became more serious. First known as The Fuzz, Sorbara (vocals) and Kurtz (bass) were joined by drummer Joel Stouffer and guitarist Simon Craig and in response to what they refer to as Canada’s “Nickelback moment”, they unabashedly embraced the pop genre.
According to their band bio, the seeds of Dragonette were sown when at a festival, jazzy-folk “tampon music” singer/songwriter Martina Sorbara met Dan Kurtz, the bassist for experimental electronic act The New Deal. Needless to say, sparks both creative and romantic flew. Have a listen to Galore’s third single “Competition”, for a hint at more of the early stages of Sorbara and Kurtz’s relationship.
But no press is bad press and during the Duran Duran tour [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Dragonette caught the attention of Mercury Records. After signing a record contract, the band decided to move their operations from Toronto to London but lost Simon Craig in the process. They recruited British guitarist Will Stapleton and began working to develop an image to accompany their sexy, new-wave sound which required an equally bold persona. Sorbara’s got an effortlessly sultry look and an electric onstage temptress persona, while her husband and Stapleton and Stouffer provide slinky, glistening, relentlessly sexy music.
That gig won them a slot as opening act for Duran Duran on their American tour where their music’s raciness didn’t go over so well with some of the more conservative mid-Westerners. According to the band’s official bio, one concert-goer wrote "I went to see Duran Duran in Dayton, Ohio, and this ******* terrible band from Canada opened. It was fronted by a slut wearing panties, and she was singing songs about Jesus and sex."
