GO TO MYSPACE.COM/MAUDITEDANCE
THIS IS THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO NOW
BUT THIS IS ALL THAT YOU NEED.
NME BEST MYSPACE NEW BAND OF THE WEEK 19/05/2007
BIO
We formed in Paris in 2004. We moved to Manchester in early 2006.
We have been gigging all around UK and France for the past two years. We've played with The Sunshine Underground, Mercury Rev, Starsailor, the Earlies, The Automatic, Dead Disco, Polytechnic, The KBC, Liars, Islands, Captain, Tiny Dancers, Peter And The Wolf, Gang Gand Dance, Modernaire and many other.

We released a single on Art Goes Pop in August 2006. It was called The Dissidents. Steve Lamacq played it a lot, it got rave reviews and sold out.
We died in may 07. Just as we were Best New Band on Myspace in the NME. But we're alive now and we're MAUDITE DANCE .
Thanks a lot for listening.

REVIEWS
"Top new_wave guitar band."
NME
"This is a band who won't stay anonymous for long thats for sure. Despite their Gallic roots maybe we can lay claim to them for Manchester...." Manchester Music Scene"They have such an aura, a presence about them you wish you could suck it out of them, store it in a bottle and sell it making you filthy rich along the way." Leeds Music Scene"Potentially France's best import since Eric Cantona..." No Ordinary Music"Since they've now made Manchester their home, there's no excuse not to catch them live before they go on to bigger and better things." BBC Online"Music that is both chartable and alternative." Manchester Evening News"Simply file under potentially the coolest thing on eight legs." Losing Today"Outstanding melodic qualities" Magic RPM
