Leeds, United Kingdom (2005 – 2008)
Dead Disco were Victoria Hesketh (now known as Little Boots), Lucy Catherwood and Marie France (now known as Video Villain). Together they formed one of the most thrilling and stunning new bands in the UK. Dead Disco stepped straight out of the burgeoning Leeds’ music scene – onto indie dancefloors and into hearts. With a terrific mix of new wave, indie and pop, they instantly created a buzz amongst locals and all over the UK.
Lucy and Marie met Victoria in August 2005 whilst at University in Leeds, United Kingdom and the trio instantly bonded over a mutual love for The Bangles, Blondie, The Killers, Billy Idol, Gang of Four, The Slits and The Rapture.
They released four singles: ‘The Treatment’ (High Voltage) ‘City Place’ (Playlouder) ‘Automatic’ (Fierce Panda) and ‘You’re Out’ (679).
For both ‘The Treatment’ and ‘Automatic’ Dead Disco teamed up with producer du jour James Ford. The result sounds like an unlikely, but genial, meeting between Ladytron and Girls Aloud (with added guitars), making ‘Automatic’ an incredibly infectious slice of pop perfection.
‘Automatic’ has an equally contagious video (directed by Saam Farahmand - the guy responsible for the Klaxons’ ‘Gravity’s Rainbow’ and ‘Atlantis to Interzone’ Videos) that features the girls stylistically thrashing about inside a revolving cube.
Dead Disco disbanded in December 2008 because of unknown causes (you can read here). After this, the girls concentrated on their own projects: Victoria Hesketh on Little Boots, Lucy Catherwood and Marie France on Video Villain.
