Dirty Dancing is a duo comprised of multi-instrumentalist Eric Schoen, who previously fronted Electric Pants in Milwaukee, and Lauren Mikus, who previously sang for the NY band The Midnight Hours... The Dirty Dancing sound is at times all of the above: lo-fi, noisy, angular and anthemic, with touches of darkwave, a post-punk edge, a reverbed atmosphere, and handclaps galore. Depending on the track, you can hear influences as varied as The Kills, Joy Division, Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Gun Club, Talking Heads, and even a little T.
