Biography

The trio met in August 2005 at the University of Leeds.[2] They were influenced by such artists as The Bangles, Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Ladytron, The Killers, Billy Idol, Gang of Four, The Slits and The Rapture.[3]

Releases

Dead Disco released four singles:

  1. "The Treatment" (2005, High Voltage)
  2. "City Place" (2006, Playlouder)
  3. "Automatic" (2006, Fierce Panda)
  4. "You're Out" (2007, 679)[4][5][6][7]

For both "The Treatment" and "Automatic", Dead Disco teamed up with producer James Ford. "Automatic" was the final single to be released by label Fierce Panda.[8] "You're Out" was produced by Greg Kurstin of The Bird and the Bee, who has also worked with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Kylie Minogue, Gwen Stefani and Peaches.

"City Place" was also included on the 2006 Dance To The Radio compilation What We All Want.

Split

A MySpace blog in December 2008 confirmed that the group had come to an end, and that the members were working on new projects: Hesketh as Little Boots; and Catherwood and France as Video Villain.[2]
