Those Dancing Days are an indie pop band from Nacka, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden. [1] Most notably compared to Northern Soul and 1960s era girl-groups, the band formed in 2005 while the members were all still in school. [2] They are currently signed to Wichita Recordings. The band consists of five young girls from Stockholm. Their name derives from the Led Zeppelin song "Dancing Days". [3] Two of the band members completed school as late as summer 2008, [4] and they received a lot of publicity during 2007 including being featured in NME and on MTV2. They were also nominated for the Best Swedish Act prize at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007. [5] The band has played many gigs in their native Sweden as well as in the United Kingdom and Germany. They released a 5-track EP in Sweden before being signed by UK label Wichita Recordings, who released a self-titled single in October 2007 (described as "Blondie backed by the Attractions", [6] and "The Slits rehearsing with Bow Wow Wow whilst breaking in a new drummer" [7]), with a second single, "Hitten". Their debut full length album In Our Space Hero Suits was released on October 6th 2008, preceded by a single Home Sweet Home on September 29th. [8]
