baby loves disco celebrated its 5th year anniversary in 2009 with parties coast to coast and then......shut the party down. could it be true? rumors ran wild. but the truth is - we're not going anywhere. just changing it up. our baby has grown over the past 5 years and so have we. so we start new in 2010 - from the first ever BLD soundtrack; to our first national tour and much more in between. but for now - if you want your disco in the states the only place to get it will be nyc as we prepare to announce our valentines day balls in both boroughs. sign up for our email list, follow us on twitter and be our facebook friends. we'll keep you posted with every move. see you at the disco. |

Before there were iPods, or even CDs, and around the time cassettes let break dancers move the party to a cardboard dance floor on the sidewalk, there were boomboxes. It's been 20 years since the devices disappeared from the streets. It's high time to press rewind on this aspect of America's musical history, and we do so with thanx to our friends from npr. |

this 6 year old from china is both wonderful and terrifying; the history of disco lends more than just nightclubs and djs - there was some crazy funk/dance/jazz fusion going down in the 70s including one of my favorites - KC & The Sunshine Band, click here and dig this 1974 live performance of Rock Your Baby; get schooled on the facts of life and music before it's too late. |
