Biography

One of the many bands combining punk and disco in the early 2000s, Dance Disaster Movement had one of the noisiest, most aggressive takes on the style. A white-clad duo consisting of multi-instrumentalist Kevin Disco and percussionist Matt Howze, the band formed in Long Beach, CA, in 2001. Bored with the repetitiveness and posturing that they saw in the post-punk/hardcore scene around them, the pair wanted to make music that was both visceral and danceable. The mix of guitar and keyboard noise and tribal percussion in Dance Disaster Movement's music attracted Dim Mak Records, who signed the band and released their debut album We Are From Nowhere in early 2003. The band spent the rest of the year touring, appearing at South by Southwest and venturing out with the Watchers, the Blood Brothers, and the Ex Models.
