about

Fast paced, frenetic and fun. Disco is about growing old and resenting what you've become. Mad mouthfuls of lyrics, synth for days and lots of reasons to dance like a crazy person. A little bit of the NT's mango madness for your ears.

lyrics

Welcome to the ant farm where the ants they roam in twos,
We walk around the aisles the greys are bored of who they choose,
Chained to a leg of zombie who croaks it’s something not displayed,
On the sign when you sign on the laws dotted line when you threw your life away,
I say welcome to the jungle to the streets,
Of a trolley where the front wheel wobbles it’s a metaphor for this heap,
I might be unstoppable when Michael’s on the tape,
So grab a rug and cut it cos it goes like this,

Hey mumma,
You got a fever that you can’t sweat out,
He drags under,
Tonight,
And he doesn’t like disco,

Welcome to that race well that’s population you,
You sit glumly, fall down fumbly, eating boiled goose,
I look to the left I see your body, are you alive?,
I picked up a stick, I poked and pricked, you folded to the side,
I said hello (hi),
What happened to the centrefold glamour that pages boys would hide,
So if that weight feels heavy then it’s time to shed some skin,
And get off of that disco floor it goes like this,

Hey mumma,
You got a fever that you can’t sweat out,
He drags under,
Tonight,
And he doesn’t like disco, x2

A criminal, a mess, your minds undressed, you want to mean something,
You’re going down X3

So why the fuck d’you sing his tune and waste your life away?
A life without a disco beat seems pointless don’t you say?

Hey mumma,
You got a fever that you can’t sweat out,
He drags under,
Tonight,
And he doesn’t like disco, x2

I say you speak my language i think you should,
It’s time to live your life the way that your young self would,
The worlds a scary place it’s hard to see outside,
But you don’t live life twice and he don’t like disco

At The Dakota Darwin, Australia

Hailing from tropical Darwin, indie-groovepop band At The Dakota have established themselves as one of the most exciting bands to come out of the Northern Territory with their addictive pop sensibilities and hooky, quirky lyrics and melodies.

A 5-piece comprising laidback lads from the Top End, their songs are unapologetically groovy, and refreshingly cryptic. ... more
