Presenting Good On The Dancefloor’s star player, mostly because this band comes close to fulfilling the collective’s name. White Scooper join in the enjoyable trend of “bands making ’80s sounding music but not in a cheap nostalgic way” (led by Cut Copy, and featuring acts like Awesome New Republic and Delorean), pumping out new wave dance tracks I imagine sound very (brace yourself) good on the dancefloor. Just listen to the infectious synths and drums on “Up Bends” (on MySpace), the band’s best number. “Jr.” doesn’t reach the same pleasure peaks as “Up Bends” but does boast a creepy strut that leads into an unsettling dancepunk groove.

ALT A NATIVE SYNDICATE

Posted on November 9, 2009 by Patrick St. Michel

Good On The Dancefloor is an art collective based out of Tokyo consisting of four bands. The collective’s recently released a compilation album of music entitled ALT A NATIVE SYNDICATE. The music of the Good On The Dancefloor family jumps all around, from the dancey tunes of White Scooper and Nu clear classmate, to the garage rock of The New House, to the new-wave noise of AAPS. Expect posts about each of these bands (because they sound that good) in the near future, but for now listen to tracks from all these artists here.
