The Secret Handshake is the electronic pop rock music project of Luis Dubuc, from Dallas, Texas. He has released two full-length albums, two EPs and a mixtape in his four year run. Dubuc first got his start playing in a couple of bands with his friends, most notably spending time as the drummer for metallic hardcore unit Thirty Called Arson, who released the album You're Only a Rebel from the Waist Down through Pluto Records in 2003. Inspired by artists like Michael Jackson and Daft Punk, he eventually began writing and recording some songs on the side in his Dallas-based bedroom with just a laptop and Wurlitzer to assist him. By November 2004, Dubuc had self-released his first full-length album, entitled Antarctica . Less than a year later, he followed up with the EP This Is Bigger Than You and I, which was issued through Doll House Recordings. Momentum began building around his quirky electronica laptop pop/rock, at times resembling Hellogoodbye's antics and resonating with emo kids looking for a good time. Another EP, Summer of '98 (as in the summer before he started high school), was released in early 2007 through New York's Triple Crown Records [1], anchored by the vocoder-heavy title track. Their 2009 release My Name Up in Lights reached #17 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart [2] and #45 on the Independent Albums chart. [3] The Secret Handshake will support The Cab on their headlining tour, entitled "The What Happens In Vegas... Tour" with additional support from A Rocket to the Moon, Eye Alaska, Anarbor, The Summer Set, and My Favorite Highway from June 18th to July 12th. The Secret Handshake will then be headlining the Frienemies tour with PlayRadioPlay! and Love You Long Time until July 26th. Then after that, the group will be opening for the Alternative Press Tour 2009, entitled The Fall Ball, which also features You Me At Six, Set Your Goals, The Academy Is..., and Mayday Parade.
