DANGEROUS MUSE-- DANGEROUS FOR HOMOPHOBES?

My friend Craig manages an interesting indie band, actually more an electro pop duo than a band per se. They're called Dangerous Muse and they've been building a loyal underground following in NYC for a couple years now. Another friend of mine and Craig's, Seymour Stein, saw them and was positively smitten. Now, Seymour knows his stuff. He discovered-- what a concept-- Madonna, Fleetwood Mac, The Ramones, Talking Heads, The Smiths, Depeche Mode... Seymour helped Dangerous Muse get out their first single, "The Rejection" and it went to #2 on the iTunes Dance Chart. The video went to #1 on the MTV Logo Channel's "Click List." Today the singer, Mike Furey and instrumentalist Tom Napack, gave Crooks and Liars an exclusive clip that demonstrates their support for equal rights in the GLBT community. Tomorrow it won't be exclusive anymore but there's a reason to go to Crooks and Liars today. There's a totally cool contest there that I'm helping John with: Be one of the first 5 to name every Republicrook in the clip and win an Indigo Girls Rarities CD. Any DWT reader should be able to win this in a snap.

The song is so infectious that after you hear it on the video at Crooks and Liars you'll want to hear it all the way through. And you can do that here.
