Let’s get straight to the point here: Slowdance are going to blow our collective minds in 2012. Don’t believe us? Well here is why you need to pay attention..

Slowdance are a five-piece band who call Brooklyn home. Their music walks a fine line between pop sensibility and romantic exoticism. They released a magnificent EP titled ‘ Light & Color ‘ in 2011 which garnered praise from the likes of Spin, Stereogum & Nylon Magazine. The band also spent time on the road playing gigs alongside DOM, Anika, Ducktails & the legendary Gary Wilson. Now in 2012 they are gearing up for an even busier year. They have a track on the new Kitsuné Records compilation that is due out in early February. (Each track on the compilation was hand-picked by Kitsuné chief Gildas-Loaec.) There are also plans to release a new single thru White Iris Records in the coming months plus an appearance at this years SXSW.

This weekend Slowdance will be playing two events in Northeast Pennsylvania.

Saturday January 21st at The Bog in Scranton, PA with Cherokee Red (9 PM / $5) & Sunday January 22nd at The Crimson Lion in Wilkes-Barre, PA with Mike Quinn & Mariah Welch (7 PM / $5).
