MSTRKRFT

There’s a techno punk disco dance party scheduled at the Tralf on Sunday (March 9), with the Toronto electronic duo MSTRKRFT (thats’ “masterkraft,” not “mister.”). The collaboration of Jesse F. Keeler (Death From Above 1979) and Al-P (Girlsareshort) came about after the latter produced Death From Above 1979’s well-received second album You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine (2004). MSTRKRFT has perpetuated the buzz created by DFA 1979 with hit singles in the past two years like 2006’s “Easy Love” and the following “Work On You.” Signed to Last Gang records, they got The Looks out in 2006 and are preparing for an as yet untitled LP to be released next fall. It’s Daft Punk gone robot pop with classic four on the floor rhythms and some pretty funny lyrics, too. The show starts at 8pm.
