Gang Gang Dance Horseshoe Tavern Toronto July 10, 2011 4AD

Hot night with a very air conditioned Horseshoe for once. Turntabalists NGUZUNGUZU and TOTAL FREEDOM opened the night with some tribal jungle reggae cut and paste dub. Have to admit I was only partially feeling it which may have been due to it being a Sunday night. Gang Gang Dance took to the stage without a change and a seamless blend from the openers set into their booming sound system. Lead singer at one point was adventurous and headed out to dance with/explore the crowd during a long instrumental segment. The band is currently touring their latest album Eye Contact on the 4AD imprint. Definately a wild energetic concert. Here is what the crowd said:

@iKvsDK: Why does the horseshoe feel like a freezer? #4AD Gang Gang Dance (IKDK: It got warm quick once Gang Gang Dance hit)

@itsbigmitch: This is gonna be a big one, at Gang Gang Dance with @Dustin_Costain and @JimnTonic waiting on @PhilthySpicoli and @Partybumbler

@seanmackay13: Gang Gang Dance at the horseshoe, going to be sweaty but amazing

@henryfaber: The scene on a hot and humid Toronto Sunday night? Bangin at The Horseshoe Tavern anticipating Gang Gang Dance's arrival.

@IKvsDK: Okay I've had enough of the openers. Bring on gang gang dance #horseshoe #4AD (IKDK: Okay I was alittle impatient last night)

@DiamondAtlas: Gang gang dance show is really fun

@PrinceNifty: There is yet another festival this weekend in Toronto. Bro-fest w headliners gang gang dance (IKDK: maybe a commentary that most of the people at this concert were guys? Which was true)

@IKvsDK: Gang gang dance is just one neverending extended song #4AD #horseshoe (IKDK:True, no breaks between songs)

@itsbigmitch: "Hi, I'm a dumbfuck who didn't go see Gang Gang Dance" -not me

@brightcorners: Whoa whoa! Three girls just took their shirts off at the gang gang dance show! Maje fun! (IKDK: hmmmm it was hot)

@IKvsDK: Gang gang dance just ripped the roof off the horseshoe literally. Dancefloor mayhem #4AD

@PorkyStClair: Gang Gang Dance... What a show. Lizzi Bougatsos and crew killed it. All for a measly $10. And people pay hundreds to see Lady Gaga? Pfff.
