Chicago natives, Brooklyn-based, modestly named Pretty Good Dance Moves are more than pretty good music makers. Their self titled album, rather than recreating, reinterprets the electronic dance music of the 80s in a way that’s personal, quirky and compelling at once. Lead vocalist, Jimmy Giannopoulos and multi-instrumentalist, Aaron Allieta created a 6- track EP that fuses the fun of Disco with Javelin’s playfulness, sporadically venturing into loungy territories reminiscent of extinguished UK duo Lamb. Collaborations with Heather Christian on 600 Days and Angelina Lucero on Sample Your Body add variety to the band’s sound and leave us nostalgic for Of Montreal’s first albums. The band is playing free shows every Thursday of July at Pianos at 12 am – be there! – Madison Silver.
