TOMORROW (Sat. Dec. 10): Duende!'s Dance Party 45 Release at Planet Ant

This 45 single release with Hold Fast commemorates DUENDE!’s tenth anniversary performing live rock-n-roll to and fro the four points of the compass; the West (Austin), the South (New Orleans), the East (New York City), and the Great White North (Canada) while keeping their footing firmly in Detroit.

“Dance Party” was one of the first songs written by the band and has been a staple of the live set over their decade reign on the killing floor. Originally recorded in basement sessions, released CD only in 2007, you’ve never heard it until now on this limited vinyl only release. The band re-recorded the track along with its exclusive B-Side, “Keep It Cool”, in January 2016 with legendary sound engineer Jim Diamond at The Tempermill in Ferndale, MI.

The band invited some very special guests for the get down.
