Death Disco

PiL managed to avoid boundaries for the first four years of their existence, and Metal Box is undoubtedly the apex. It's a hallmark of uncompromising, challenging post-punk, hardly sounding like anything of the past, present, or future. Sure, there were touchstones that got their imaginations running – the bizarreness of Captain Beefheart, the open and rhythmic spaces of Can, and the dense pulses of Lee Perry's productions fueled their creative fires – but what they achieved with their second record is a completely unique hour of avant-garde noise…

Fan Death is a disco band which started in Brooklyn, New York in 2007 and are now based in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 2008 Erol Alkan remixed and released their debut single Veronica's Veil on his Phantasy Sounds label. To date Fan Death has played shows with Florence and The Machine, Metronomy, Telepathe, Late Of The Pier and Franz Ferdinand as well as at the Afisha festival in Moscow and in Mexico City. They have been featured in international magazines such as NME, The Fader, Nylon Magazine, The Guardian Newspaper, Dazed and Confused Magazine and on the cover of Italy's Pig Magazine surrounded by naked men. The band recorded an EP in 2009 with the help and assistance of Kevin James Maher. Also in 2009, they have remixed artists such as Ladyhawke, Frankmusik, The Virgins, Lindstrom, The Lost Valentinos and Datarock. The name is a reference to the South Korean myth regarding the fear of suffocation via electric fan.
