Event Description

After their last single, ‘You Should Know’ (I-94 Recordings, 2022) The Looks are back with a brand new track, ‘Meet Me On the Floor’ which hits the streets on August 23rd.
The band hasn’t been able to do their usual brand of extensive touring since 2019, and was getting restless. “Honestly, we were sick of not touring,” says Laj. “We miss it and the road is where we belong.”
That all changed when Laj received a message one late night in March, culminating in a conversation leading to the beginnings of a good old fashioned tour - Laj decided at that moment to dust off the van and get the band back together, as they say. Things were starting to line up and shows were getting booked, and as the reality set in, excitement was sparking within the ranks of The Looks. “In 2021 we made what we thought was a great record, ‘Ten Easy Pieces’,” continued Laj. “But we haven’t had a chance to tour it yet. Every time we tried to go out on the road, the world just kept stopping.”
In the intervening years, The Looks kept busy by releasing albums such as ‘Ten Easy Pieces’ (We Are Busybodies), RetroSpectacle (KOTJ/Snap Records), and singles like ‘Annie/Mâ Tête’ (KOTJ/Snap Records), and the aforementioned ‘You Should Know’.
Once the wheels were set in motion, Dany Laj and the Looks needed a party anthem - there’s no better cure for a bad day than a good party, after all. Laj put his songwriting skills to work, and set out writing what would become ‘Meet Me On the Floor’.
Recorded at the band’s own Montreal studio, La La Pop Shoppe, ‘Meet Me On the Floor’ is the band at its power poppiest, garage rockiest best. Featuring alongside Laj’s lead vocals and guitar is longtime bassist/vocalist Jeanette Dowling, as well as new Looks David Laplante on guitar and drummer Alex Pauzé keeping your feet on the dance floor (with a guest cameo from Stacey Case [Tijuana Bibles, Weirdies] on tambourine).
The Looks will (finally!) be hitting the road once again this fall, journeying from Northern Ontario to BC with K-Man & The 45s starting in Sept through mid-October, and then heading out on their own until the end of October in the US, from the Midwest to the Northeast. They’ll pick it back up again in November, playing Canadian dates with Paul Collins’ Beat
