The Knocks & Dragonette Revelation Outloud

 In April the New York City eletro duo, The Knocks joined forces yet again with Canadian electro dream-pop sensation, Dragonette with their single "The Hero". It's a shoe-gazey sort of love song with shiny synths and Sorbara's nasally vocals simplistically blending with the chunky melody. It's sprinkled with dance breaks yet as a whole it's a break from the more dancey tunes these two artists give us.

Last week they released "Dreams" and revealed their up-coming forth collab, Revelation, due out in June. These co-collaborators take their own individual style and create a new sound of their combined efforts. They've already solidified a place in electro-dance-pop haventwith the release of four of the nine songs from the album. Dancefloors float to cloud nine when DJs spin their songs and if it's a dancefloor in a queer community club? Forget about it, The Knocks and Dragonette are angels. 

Days before their new album drops they are both slated to play Outloud Festival at WeHo Pride 2025!



On the eve of Pride Month, Saturday May 31st, The Knocks and Dragonette grace the SummerTramp Stage! Dance the day and night away all weekend long at this designated dance stage at WeHo's Outloud Festival and don't forget to catch these two performing new music for you to dance to. Set times should be annouced soon!

 It had been years sinc seeing Dragonette live when they performed at JJLA's Utah Pride Festival in 2023 and they were as spunky as I remember. Sorbara's energy is carefree and fun, much like her fasion sence and her beaming smile is infectious. Seeing them team up on stage with The Knocks is sure to be a good time had by all in the warm California sunshine surrounded by people celebrating love. 




The Knocks have a few more shows lined up this Summer playing the Surf Lounge in NY on June 13th, Eelectric Forest Festival in Michigan on June 19th, Dreamland Theatre in Massachusetts on July 3rd, Backyard Music Festival in British Columbia and Summer's Last Block Party in Chicago on September 20th.
