To celebrate the release of Royal Blues, their 4th studio album, Dragonette embarked on a 23-date North American tour! Kicking things off the day the album dropped on November 11th in Montreal, the tour is running through December 11th in Boston, including a stop in SF along the way!

Last November the threesome sizzled at their headlining show at SF's premiere Indie nightclub, Popscene and exactly one year and nine days later, the Canadian synth-pop band headlined at The Independent on November 29th!
The Tuesday night show was off to a slow start and even though it wasn't sold-out, the floor was full when Dragonette started close to 10:30. In a mirror mosaic jacket, white jeans and backed by a wall of pixelated lights, Martina Sorbara looked like a quintessential, indie-synth-pop disco queen.

Teetering on the edge of the stage in front of bassist Dan Krutz and drummer Joel Stouffer, she
dominated the stage belting out the bright, upbeat title track of the brand new album. Equally as joyful as the band's joyous energy, fans seamlessly chimed in on the chorus of the first hit of the set, "Let The Night Fall." After that, the night was their's.

Fans were locked in and they were ready to do what they had gone there to do, dance, and Dragonette was more than ready to deliver a dance party.
Her stature is small but Martina's powerful vocals and unwavering stage presence make her larger than life. Seeing her sing is mesmerizing.

They fired off highly danceable song after song with fiery determination. From the youthfully cinematic "High Five" to the bubbly "Hello" and the weird intensity of "Future Ghost" Dragonette are adept at crafting catchy, hook laden songs covering all the pop bases.
Their dance party ends this week but not before Dragonette play shows in Chicago, Ohio and New York!
