Dancer are a 4 piece indie rock post punk band from glasgow, formed in 2022.

Fronted by Gemma Fleet - previously of Kasms, The Wharves, Order of the Toad and Current Affairs, the the group play a hyper-energised and joyous form of agile post-punk, pulling together a sound from influences such as Life Without Buildings, Elastica, Owls and the Dismemberment Plan. Fleet's vocals delivered in her natural Buckinghamshire accent evokes a charming earthiness and lyrical wisdom that defines the group's character.

A stripped down 3 piece instrumental band backs this distinctive voice - one that utilizes Chris Taylors (Personality Toilet, Order of the Toad) inventive and expert guitar and keys trickey, Andrew Doig's (Nightshift, Robert Sotelo, Order of the Toad) amorphous bass lines and newly inducted drummer Luke Moran's (Buffet Lunch) rhythmically alert drum stylings. Dancer create a warm and kinetic pop and rock sound that can flip between searing aggression and placid introspection - filtered though through the lens of midwestern emo, britpop, the chiming of louisville 90s post rock and the bouncily minimalistic new wave of Pylon.

They have released 2 eps via Glasgow's Goldmold imprint, a debut LP on Madrid's Meritorio Records called '10 Songs I Hate about You', a split LP with Portland's Whisper Hiss on Athens,GA indie pop label HHBTM and are gearing up for an upcoming split 7" with R.Aggs courtesy of new Glasgow project Second City Static.

Please note the basement is not wheelchair accessible and is accessed by a narrow enclosed staircase. For more accessibility info, please email [email protected]

Exchange is a 14+ venue. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
