News: The Prairie Hotel to finally release 2 EPs in January
Nov 17, 08
Sweaty dance floor gems like those found on Chicago-bred The Prairie Cartel's first works, the two EPs titled affectionately EP1 and EP2, aren't so dime-a-dozen anymore. Where most acts would be fine with making banal pieces that get kids dancing, The Prairie Cartel know that behind the beat, the driving guitars and basslines and the panting, riot-inducing vocals, there is a sort of punk ethos of tearing down the usual conceptions people have of what it means to really love disco. They weren't alive probably when there was that "disco sucks" backlash, but if they were we know we'd find them hording their 12"s in a pile alongside Suicide b-sides and Max's Kansas City bootlegs. EP1 and EP2 see release January 27.
