BEARSTRONAUT

If there was a band to watch in Boston's local music scene of late, it would have to be part-dance, part-Brit-pop, part-synth pop outfit BEARSTRONAUT, whipping up a storm of delectably danceable pop tunes that are highly attractive to Depeche Mode and Roxy Music lovers. But they're not just about new wave - or reviving it for that matter. As they suggest, it's more than dance music; "Dance is a loose term."
