Cajun Dance Party — “Amylase” and “The Next Untouchable”

I was going crazy last night when I finally got to see Cajun Dance Party?s first ever music video for their song ?Amylase.? The five-piece set hailing from North London has been quickly gaining attention from British Press for their music.

I first heard about them in June when I was listening to someone?s playlist online and was immediately taken by tracks like ?The Next Untouchable,? ?Buttercup? and ?Colourful Life.? I couldn?t find a lot decent video footage of their gigs that didn?t have fans screaming the lyrics out in the background so that made my anticipation for the release of Amylase even more tense.

This is a dubbed but well done capture of the atmosphere that the band plays to during ?The Next Untouchable.?

I find demos in some spots on the web from time to time and most of the tracks are mind-blowing. I simply can?t wait till they tell the world when they?re releasing their debut CD this year or in early 2008. I already missed out on the hand-stitched package that includes both the seven-inch and CD formats of the single ?Amylase? and a new b-side called ?Fill the Cups.? If and when they do end up going on tour in the US months from now, you can bet that I?ll be there to see them.
