Prinzhorn Dance School

Brighton via NY Boy/Girl electro combo

When Brighton-based duo Prinzhorn Dance School signed to New York’s renowned DFA label, they whipped up a flurry of interest in the music press. Except the press pack didn’t have much to go on. PDS had only played a handful of live shows, hadn’t done many interviews and, shock horror, didn’t even have a MySpace site. One leading music site was so perturbed that their profile of the band admitted to not knowing anything about them. Tobin and Suzi, the supposedly mysterious pair behind the enigmatic name (Hans Prinzhorn was a German psychiatrist who built a large collection of art created by his patients), laugh as they recall this.
