Dance Band, the Twin Cities' live act sensation has been making considerable waves in Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN USA during their short existence. Dance Band built up a large amount of local buzz in 2007 due to their energetic, humorous and crowd-controlling concerts. Instrumentally, Dance Band is probably best described as "sci-fi electro funk rock." This matches the band's continuously changing attire, which usually looks like a glorious fusion of form-fitting super hero costumes, 80s-era exercise clothes and... sex.

From last.fm:

Tarlton is a product of nurture and nature. Maybe it had something to do with founder Brett Bullion hanging out with Minneapolis musicians like Martin Dosh and JT Bates. Or maybe it was something that came innately.   After the disbandment of Bullion’s first music project, Tiki Obmar, he formed Tarlton, a one-man band featuring synthetic loops and drumming. His debut project “Van” turned heads locally, but shortly after Bullion moved out west to Seattle. In the grey northwest, he wrote and recorded Tarlton’s second album: “The Papa Theses” EP.
