We are very excited to welcome Vancouver’s Fan Death to the Last Gang family! Dandilion Wind Opaine and Marta Jaciubek-McKeever (aka Fan Death) have been making waves with their beuatifuly dark, theatric take on classic electronic pop. Their cinematic videos for “Reunited”, “Veronica’s Veil” and “Cannibal“ have amassed over 200,000 YouTube views – check them out. Prince and Pee-Wee Herman in the same video??? They have attracted early support from the cool kids – NYLON, The Fader, Spin…. – and were highlighted by Perez as a “new favorite!”. Dandilion and Marta are joining vampire Weekend next month for a (almost sold out) European tour. They will follow with a North American tour in March supporting the UK”s electro-pop phenom Little Boots – dates begin March 2nd in New York and end on 6th street in Austin, TX at SXSW.
We are planning the release of their debut EP, titled “A Coin For The Well“, scheduled to drop February 23rd on LGR. And that’s not all…. if the stars align as we all hope, we will be dropping their debut LP titled “Womb of Dreams” in May, 2010.
Who will carry the crown the next few miles…… Metric (2003), Death From Above 1979 (2004), Tiga (2005), Emily Haines (2006), MSTRKRFT (2007), Boys Noize (2008), Crystal Castles (2009)…… hmmm.
