Dead Disco Tickets

Dead Disco was a short-lived but influential electronic rock project from Leeds, England, formed in August 2005. Known for their synth-driven hooks and gritty electropunk energy, the band toured a crowded late-2000s UK indie scene before splitting in December 2008. The trio consisted of Victoria Hesketh (who would later find fame as Little Boots), Lucy Catherwood, and Marie France. Their music bridged the gap between electronic influences and rock swagger, capturing a distinctive vibe of early 2000s UK alternative scenes.

While Dead Disco never released a full-length studio album, they put out a handful of singles that helped define their sound and contribute to the era’s dance-pused rock movement. Their lineage is also notable for its most prominent member, Victoria Hesketh, who achieved mainstream success as Little Boots, earning recognition in the BBC Sound of 2009 poll and charting with Hands later that year.

Members: Victoria Hesketh (who would become Little Boots), Lucy Catherwood, and Marie France formed Dead Disco. The formation in Leeds in 2005 positioned them within a burgeoning UK scene that blended synths, punk energy, and dancefloor-friendly tempos.
