Theo Katzman: the Man, they Myth, the Musician

My Dear Disco has enjoyed many years of playing with Theo, and now the time has come for him to leave his My Dear Disco family and further his budding solo career. MDD is very excited for Theo and you will be too!  Make sure to keep up with Theo’s latest developments — he’s already blown the lid off of Sullivan Hall in NYC, Bell’s in Kalamazoo, and The Ark in Ann Arbor.

And what is MDD up to, you ask?

My Dear Disco has recently started touring a spanking-new show.  We’ve got plenty of tricks up our sleeves and can’t wait to show you what’s been brewing.  MDD will be taking the show to both the East and West coasts, along with some stops in the beloved Midwest.

Stay tuned for tour dates and new music – we’ll be leaking some sounds from our album sometime this week.

There’s something about Colorado that always keeps us coming back. This time it’s different — it’s not the gnarly pow, the scenic overlooks, the perfect weather, the epic clouds, or the fantastic water supply they have over there — this time, we’re going to open for Boys Like Girls!

Boys Like Girls Like My Dear Disco.

. . . My Dear Disco Like Boys Like Girls.

My Dear Disco And Boys Like Girls NO LIKE Not Play Music Together.

Big hug.

WHERE: University of Northern Colorado

WHEN: April 11th, 7pm

WHY: we love Colorado and Boys likes Girls likes us, duh.

TIX: $10

Thanks to everyone for making 2009 a monumental year for My Dear Disco!  It was absolutely 100% full-throttle non-stop adventure.  Touring from Alaska to Austin, Portland to Boston — we saw what an amazing variety of landscape this country offers. Taking on blizzards in Nebraska, grease spills in Colorado, sneaking 8 people into 1 hotel room each night, broken transmissions, canned soup, blown over tents . . . life never settled for predictability.  Here’s a little photo collage we put together to give you guys a taste of what our year was like.

Hey Everybody,

See you soon.

Well Planet Earth, as I am sure you all already know (probably the martians too; at least the ones who watch network television), today is a big day for My Dear Disco and the world, yes: My Dear Disco is actually literally unbelievably officially famous (as determined by the Universal Association of International Fame Board).

.

Ever since our song “My Dear Disco” was used in a promotional commercial for Melrose Place’s Episode 9 (Season One of the new Melrose Place apparently), everything has changed for us.  The grass is greener, the sky is bluer, and we have a much greater appreciation for the potential drama inherent in our music.

.

I know, I know what your probably thinking: “What in the world must their families think now that these boys and lady are famous?!”

.

Well here is what they think:

Exhibit 1:

Did they have the rights to use this song?  If not you have a very clear and good case for copyright infringement.  Did I ever tell the story about this dude from my highschool whose song was illegally used in a Chryster commercial?  He went to the bank on that one.  But I guess its also flattering, right?
Peace.

[Brother]

Exhibit 2:

dude that’s f***ing sweet! holy s***! You should get a sweet ass royalty check for that. not that thats what you’re all about but it has to be said. mom and dad MIGHT come to [city] to see a sweet political comedy on sunday with me. you and your better half are invited. awesome bro, i’m so proud of you guys. Love [brother].

.

Exhibit 3:

--it’s so awesome.  do you see that someone {from the youtube comments} wants to know what the song is?  please write back to them…love, mom and dad--we are so proud of all of you!!!  your big break!!!!!

.

Exhibit 4:

-- this is awesome!! How totally cool. It must feel very surreal. I can’t wait to hear about how they picked you guys up. Did you get paid for this? How does it work?

Keep me posted and we can’t wait to see you in Dec.

Hey Hey Hey,

After about month of hardwork, we’ve finished up a new remix of “Mustaches” by one of our favorite artist’s (and booking agency rostermate) That 1 Guy! We tried to stay true to the zany spirit of the original, and we let ourselves have a lot of fun with this one.  Highlights to check out: Bob brings the heavy funk of cut-up magic pipe, Michelle Masquarades as a chorus of school children, Tyler tells all to “take a mustache ride”.

.

It is our pleasure to present it to you as a free download in hi-res mp3 format with artwork inlcuded!

.

Ctrl-Click (Cmd-click on a mac) the link below and select “Save files as…” to download the remix to your hard drive or cycle through to player at the top of the screen to stream it while you check out dancethink.com.
