At the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago this past summer, Gang Gang Dance were allotted about as much time to play as any middle-tier actabout an hour or sobut they only managed to cram, like, four songs into their set. Thats because the band can stretch their already meandering electronic/percussion jams out to epic lengths live, led by singer Lizzi Bougatsos witchy, funhouse mirrored vocals and by the considerable effort of the bands resident flag-waver/scarf-twirler/Bez-style vibesman. But if their songs run long, its not like they do it locked into any one form; instead, the bands tracks morph from trippy house to new age ambience to searing ersatz techno, never quite heading where you expect.
