Danse Society Pins and Buttons
Main Tag:
Description: The Danse Society was a goth rock band formed in Barnsley, England in 1980 from the remnants of local post-punk bands Y? and Lips-X. Operating in a raw, atmospheric realm that is less campy than many of their goth peers, The Danse Society's general lack of concern with charts and commercial appeal was part of their charm. Between 1980 and 1982 the band released a handful of singles and EPs, and the debut album “Seduction” on their own label. The band topped the indie charts with the single “Somewhere,” and the success of “Seduction” resulted in a major label deal in 1983, followed by a sold out tour. The Danse Society released two more singles and the album “Looking Through” before breaking up in 1986.
