It's All About The Good Natured!

UK Electropop sensation The Good Natured are quickly sweeping the UK and US with new fresh Electro beats. The Good Natured's debut EP "Warriors" was self-released on July 7, 2008. The EP received a ton of press coverage, especially for the lyrics. Their music is often being compared to La Roux, Ladytron, Lily Allen, and Kate Nash. Lead singer Sarah McIntosh herself describes their music as "dark electronic pop" as well as "electronic pop with heart",and feels especially influenced by bands such as Tears for Fears, Japan and Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Despite the mostly positive critics, no label seemed to be willing to sign The Good Natured. Thus their second EP "Your Body Is a Machine" was self-released as well. It was not until March 2011 that the band was signed by the British label Parlophone, under which they have released their EP "Skeleton" in June 2011 with singles "Skeleton" and "Wolves". Take a listen below:

Music, is what we do!

Hey Kids! (and by kids, we mean those that are over 21 and totally know how to PARTY with us!)

We've got tons of new music lined up for the next Club Drama coming up on Saturday, September 3rd! So here's a sneak peak of what to expect on the dancefloor! Of course, you'll still hear all the electro/indie and remixes of the music you love to shake it to along with a few guilty pleasures ;) We recommend practicing your new moves to these new beats at full blast to be ready in time for the Oakland Pride Pre-Party with Club Drama!

Up and Coming I'm not a Band is starting to shred electro dance floors across the nation with their new hit What We Do! .... my partner stumbled across the Tits & Clits remix by total accident and we were then pumping it through the sound system from that day on!

I'm not a Band - What We Do (Tits & Clits Remix)

Next up, the ever adorable Marina & The Diamonds has finally released long anticipated new material. It's a little more high energy than what we're used to, but I love when bands explore new sounds while keeping their format somewhat intact. I am patiently awaiting remixes on this one, but I know that this jam will definitely set some shoes on fire as you cut the proverbial rug on the dance floor.



And just so you're aware, the annual Oakland Pride is coming up Sunday, September 4th! And if our Pre-Pride party isn't enough for you, then join Club Drama DJs Starr, Lifeline, Candy (Hard Candy and Club Drama residents) along with guests C-Lektra (Vancouver BC/Trigger Bar SF) and Orko on Sunday night from 6pm-2am for 8 hours of dance floor mayhem with an 8pm intermission show of LIVE Drag, Burlesque, Belly dance and MORE! RSVP Here!!!

We'll see you soon!
