Band to Watch: Cajun Dance Party
UK bands with big buzz are right up there with death and taxes. Luckily, they’re a lot more frequent and the hype surrounding them quite often pay offs. Like Arctic Monkeys before them, Cajun Dance Party is the most recent band of youngsters (their oldest member is 17!) from across the pond to generate high levels of excitement based entirely on demos and live performances.
Their name accurately reflects their nu-pop sound, which was described by The Sunday Times as “liable to make confirmed grouches dance like loons.” The five-piece are so catchy, they’ve even managed to score Thom Yorke’s approval and a deal with XL Recordings. CDP’s debut single “The Next Untouchable” was Single of the Week in both NME & The Guardian and their second single will be out later this summer.

I found this pager from BitBox, then clicked through to their main site and then to their MySpace page.
I love the sound, its kinda The Killers meets Razorlight meets The Strokes.
It’s weird becauase the sound is familiar but fresh.
