Get a load of this excellent new track from SLØTFACE
SLØTFACE have lit the taper on explosive new feminist firework "Take Me Dancing".
“Some people were skeptical of us releasing a song about dancing and getting drunk because they felt like it made us ‘less believable feminists’, but that is kind of the whole point of this song,” says vocalist Haley Shea. “The feminism we have faith in is all about individualism and being free to be yourself regardless of gender. Yes, we believe in equal rights for all genders, but we also like partying and drinking and sometimes we make mistakes, and that’s okay.”
"Take Me Dancing" is rammed full of big chords and melodic glory - it's an addictive listen and sure to ignite any night out.
The band wrote "Take Me Dancing" as a belated response to Big Star's 1972 single "Thirteen": “I was trying to write the girl’s answer to 'won’t you let me walk you home from school?' because I love that song, but think it portrays a very chaste and old school version of femininity,” Shea says. “All we are trying to say is that it’s OK to let loose and have fun from time to time.”
