Washed out guitars and sharp punk-rock edge paired with lumbering, Kim Deal-esque basslines and dreamy surf-pop melodies. It’s an arresting lineage, and Brisbane's Keep on Dancin’s are one band that should be taken hell seriously.
Keep on Dancin’s’ new video for track ‘Baby’ showcases the Brisbane-based quartet’s mastery of the crooning, dark-rimmed ballad. It’s the kind of swooning number that could be crackling over the PA as you slow dance with your sweetheart in a 1960s highschool dance hall. The clip is filled with bewitching scenes of fairground rides, glimmering neon lights, and animal petting zoos, yet it is Jacinta Walker's wildly aching lyrics that succeed in giving this track the sorrowful vintage lilt that makes it so potent.
A honed combination of punk, shoegaze, and surf influences, ‘Baby’ is a striking introduction to the band’s much-anticipated sophomore album Hunter, due out early 2014 as a follow up to 2011’s The End of Everything (Merenoise Records).
New single, ‘Grey Ghost’, taken from the forthcoming album, is not to be missed and will be released in a matter of weeks!

I arrived just on time for Keep On Dancin’s single launch at Black Bear Lodge, even though it was a painfully early 8pm start, but I didn’t want to miss any of the line-up.
