"Everett True's Song of the Day"

“At last I have a new favourite pop crush in town. A band that understand the pleasure to be had from mainlining music from bands like Holly Golightly, The Monster Women and Neverever”. -EVERETT TRUE (Biographer - White Stripes, Nirvana & more). - Collapse Board


"The End Of Everything"

The End Of Everything
(Mere Noise)
Brisbane’s Keep On Dancin’s have released an album so haunting in its fragile beauty and mesmerising in its drugged out shimmering pop that one could perhaps file it next to Eternally Yours and Xero’s Lust In The Dust as one of this town’s great LPs.
Whilst the four-piece are indebted to the reverb-drenched creepiness of Jesus And Mary Chain particularly on opener Summertime, as the record continues Keep On Dancin’s craft an album that proves as unique as it is captivating. The inclusion of Ikettes/Ike Turner’s Your Love is Mine is reworked into a death march that echoes Rowland Howard & Lydia Lunch’s collaborations in the 1980s. The fact the band have reworked a classic into a funereal march that would befit murdering your wife or committing armed robbery with your lover is a testament to the band’s ability to create a sonic atmosphere that is as foreboding as it is romantic.
The End Of Everything is foremost a work of dark romanticism and whilst moments like Beatlehead and There Goes Your Guy reveals the band’s penchant for 50/60s American girl groups, they truly shines on the achingly delicate Houston and The Birthday Party-infused Hewitt Eyes which despite being an ode to the b-grade actress is revelatory in its restrained aggression and the deadpan vocals of Jacinta Walker. Keep on Dancin and Sweet Baby serve as final reminders of Keep On Dancin’s remarkable ability to craft a record that upon first listen sounds as instantaneous and charismatic as the classic albums which influenced its own creation.
Keep On Dancin’s have created an album that is revelatory in its ability to move between the quixotic and the damaged. It’s one of the most interesting and beautiful albums this town has seen in years.

Since their late 2008 inception, reverb royalty Keep On Dancins have honed a combination of shoegaze, dark romanticism and surf to create a sound reminiscent of The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Velvet Underground, Beach House and Julee Cruise.

In May of this year Keep On Dancin’s released their debut album The End Of Everything. They are currently in the process of recording their second LP.
