The oh so popular St. Louis cover band, Dance Floor Riot, is finally coming out with a CD! And of course, they’re throwing a huge party to celebrate the release.
Dance Floor Riot is a group of 6 uniquely talented guys who all bring a different musical style to the band. Here’s some inside info about the band:
Mike – Lead vocals: “He brings a powerful Soul/R&B mix to the group.” He does a better version of “Gold Digger” than Kanye. J/k…but it’s really good.
Brandon – Lead vocals #2: “The mustachioed siren.” He gives the shows some extra flavor with his fun dance moves.
Joe – Keyboard: The LoveBug. “Adds a strong electronic foundation to the music.”
Dan Strain aka Dance Train – Bass: Besides having the best nickname ever, “Dance Train is a funky fresh, punk rocking, Indie music lover.”
Eddie – Guitar: Great guitar player who apparently knows his Blues music. “He has sat in with the classic rock band Head East.”
Seth – Drums: Gives the music some rock. “He’s not afraid to throw a heavy metal double bass pattern into a Ke$ha song.”
They began jamming together back in 2008. Since then, there have been many life changes: engagements, babies, a move to Columbia, but (almost) every weekend they drop whatever it is they’re doing to play in St. Louis. Their songs include everything from Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” to Blackstreet’s “No Diggity” and almost everything in between, sans country…unless you count Taylor Swift. My personal favorite: “Everybody Talks” by Neon Trees.
Here’s a little DFR preview (from 2010):
Along with the great music and the fun that is sure to be had (and if you’ve been to a DFR show, you know there will be dancing) they will also be giving away a few fun prizes including free copies of the CD.
