ABOUT THIS ITEM
These guys make all those dance rock bands who think jumping around to the beat with those stupid grins on their faces look like fucking idiots. With a show that rivals anything we've seen on Broadway, the Vegas Strip, and perhaps even the most perverse clubs in Bangkok, We Are the World is by far one of the most visually stunning and musically provocative groups to come out of Los Angeles in years. While their Cirque du So'electro burlesque-apade routines might not be anything new to L.A.'s hip and über-chic dance scene elite, those kids on main street who think music has become a one-dimensional art form better brace themselves. Los Angeles music collective/ dance troupe/ performance artists, We Are The World have been winning hearts, blowing minds and capturing the imagination of any fortunate soul lucky enough to experience their live shows.
Ten new songs in the form of the debut album, "Clay Stones" merges European industrial dance beats with neo-pagan/naturist folk art. Consisting of producer/composer Robbie Williamson, vocalist Megan Gold with dancers Ryan Heffington and Nina McNeely, We Are The World are a force to be reckoned with. They have toured and performed with CSS, Gossip, Tricky, Chicks on speed, Hecuba, and Rainbow Arabia. We Are The World's "Clay Stones" video was directed by the band and Alma Har'el, director of Beirut, Jack Penate, Fanfarlo, etc.
'Mega-high energy dance music with an amazing visual and performative live show. That is actually a terribly weak description. Sorry. I am speechless. Just go see them live. Someone needs to give these people a huge grant.' – Pitchfork. 'They’re not a band—they’re a Sparks-guzzling manifestation of creativity with intricate dance moves and political costumes. Call them experimental at the very least, and call them exciting—exploring expectations by blowing them to smithereens'. - LA Record. 'I feel that referring to them as a band is a slight and calling them artists fails to credit their powerful pop. If they combined the Whitney Biennial and Lollapalooza this would be the house band'. - Dennis Hopper.
