Men, Women and Children

With an opener that's a little bit Scissor Sisters, a little bit The Rapture and a little bit Tetris, Men, Women and Children's disco rock sound may still be finding its feet but what they lack in experience they make up for in energy. Front man TJ Penzone announces "I may lose my voice tonight but it will be worth it" and choreographed stage moves as well as an impromptu conga give you the sense that they know how to put on a show. The New York sextet's set crosses genres from electro beats to disco to post-punk rock and back again with single 'Dance in My Blood' stealing the show and filling the dance floor at the end of the night. The refrain "You don't need a reason, to get up on the dance floor" resonates across the crowd through the synths and strings of this infectious disco-rock. So dig out your 70s stilettos and get dancing. Only time will tell if Men, Women and Children can make the transition from novelty to credibility but what is certain is that they'll have fun trying.
