"We'd wait until they had beaten each other to a bloody pulp"

Lately we’ve been going pretty mental about Leeds-based purveyors of shiny futurepop Heads We Dance, a band who seem destined for glitterball greatness. But what do we know about them?

:: They have been remixed by Frankmusic
:: They take their name from a Kate Bush Lyric
:: They are all fairly attractive

In other words, not much, really. We spoke to them recently in an effort to find out more and the following words represent what was said during that conversation.

Hello Heads We Dance. Please tell the viewers how you got together.
It was all Pete’s doing. Having decided that he wanted to form a band, he realised that he’d need some people to be in the band with him. So he built Tom from a mixture of human and mechanical parts. Then he built Yoni and Becky and - voila - Heads We Dance were made.

Dr. Frankenstein would be proud. How would you best describe your music?
Someone once called it custom-chromed aerodynamic pop, which seems to fit the bill.

If you walked in on Trevor Horn and Timbaland having a fight, whose side would you take and what would you do to make sure your man won?
We'd wait until they had beaten each other to a bloody pulp, and when they were both weak like newborn kittens we'd capture them and lock them in our basement. They are both our production heroes so we'd make them give us tips on how to improve our drum sound in exchange for scraps of food.

Finish this sentence: “Head We Dance, Tails We…”
...form a focus group to discuss the feelings of envy we harbour towards everyone who got heads.

If people could hear only one Heads We Dance song before deciding whether or not to like Heads We Dance, which Heads We Dance song would it be?
'You Are Never Alone With Model 21'. Not just a great pop song but a great pop song with a key-tar solo! It's up on our Myspace.

You literally cannot beat a bit of key-tar. Have you ever been inside a castle?
Our studio is actually inside the castle where Mary Queen of Scots was briefly held as a prisoner before she was later moved to the Tower of London.

Very ‘historic’. What colour is Friday?
Black and Gold. Because Friday stole our colour scheme.

Thank you very much Heads We Dance!

Heads We Dance play at Keys Money Lipstick, tonight (21st), Star and Garter, behind Picadilly train station, £5/£4 flyer.
