Biographie

The Danse Society were a postpunk group from Barnsley, England, active from 1981 to 1987. They achieved moderate fame during their short career. Their line-up was: Steve Rawlings (voice), Paul Nash (guitar), Lyndon Scarfe (keyboards), Tim Wright (bass) and Paul Gilmartin (drums).

In 1980 they recorded and released their first 12 » single, « Clock », on their own newly-formed record label, Society Records.

Their most well known album, Heaven is Waiting, was released in December 1983 by Arista. The album contained a cover of The Rolling Stones song, « 2000 Light Years from Home », also edited in 1984 as 12 » single and as a limited edition double single. In 1986, the other band members left to form Johnny In The Clouds, leaving Rawlings to carry on as Danse Society International for an album Looking Through, reappearing in 1987 simply as Society with a single, « Saturn Girl ».

After 1987, Rawlings continued to pursue his path in music with the electronic dance music act, Meridian Dream.

    I've found Steve on Facebook back in 2010 but he won't accept me, now he blocked me or all friend request. Doesn't surprise me being the secretive guy he is. That reminds me to not bother people I don't know.

    TDS with a female singer isn't the same TDS. They should have renamed it....or gotten a MALE singer. But then, the female singer has sort of slept her way into the band...(fact)

    Right, it's a great album once you give it a chance. But it would better if they had changed their name because in some way they are corrupting The Danse Society's Legacy.

    Oh dear, their new gothic metal combined with metaphysical deviations is just no good.

    I can't believe its taken THIS long for me to discover one of the founding fathers of many of the sounds i listen to and play myself. I've got a lot of listening to these guys a lot to catch up on.

    "The new material is really just atrocious" - seconded. 'Somewhere' is, in my opinion, THE best post-punk song in existence. Imagine my dissapointment hearing the recent stuff...
