Dany Laj and the Looks - "Meet Me On The Floor"


It has been a minute since we last heard from the always delightful Dany Laj and the Looks. Their last single came out in November of 2022, and their last studio album was released three years ago. Most distressingly for a band that lives to play in front of live humans, they have not had the chance to tour since 2019. That will change this fall as Laj and the Looks hit the road and finally get to tour in support of their terrific 2021 album Ten Easy Pieces. To celebrate, the band has cooked up the brand-new party anthem "Meet Me On The Floor." This new single sets a tone for the upcoming live dates, and its accompanying music video (the splendid creation of Courtney O'Hearn) gives you a little taste of what to expect. It's just a great rock 'n' roll song — a feelgood hit about setting aside your worries, hitting the club floor, and dancing until you drop. You know stuff like this gets me even more fired up than the Flyers' penalty kill! "Meet Me On The Floor," which draws equally from power pop, garage rock, and soul music, is all about infectious energy and good vibes. It could not be any catchier. How nuts are the crowds gonna go for this song on tour?! Joining Laj and his partner Jeanette Dowling on this release are David Laplante on guitar and Alex PauzĂ© on drums. Stacey Case (Tijuana Bibles, Weirdies) guest stars on tambourine. There can never be too much tambourine in rock 'n' roll! I've missed Dany Laj and the Looks, and their return is truly triumphant. They'll be touring all across Canada in late September and early October and then hitting the USA for some dates in the Midwest and New York — then returning to Canada with Paul Collins' Beat!
