Here’s the video for Canadian Indie-Electro crew Dragonette ’s raucous X-Mas single, Merry Xmas (Says Your Text Message). It’s a bit cheeky using a lyric video (which no-one really likes) as an official video, a bit cheap too, but it is nicely animated. Just a bit disappointing that Dragonette couldn’t make the effort, and the label didn’t have the faith in them to spend the money, to make a proper videos. It is fun, for what it’s worth, we just hate lyric videos. Dragonette’s Merry [...]

I love you Dragonette, but you could have released a better video for the song. Filed under: Beats , Canuck , Clip Tagged: dragonette , merry xmas says your text message , video

The holidays are that special time of year when old lovers re-emerge, flaring up like cold sores during a first date; it's when we, shattered by the reality of having accomplished very little throughout the year, drown our anxieties in buckets of wine and platters of chocolate and prosciutto; it's when we dwell on harsh, undeniable truths and ask ourselves poignant questions like, "Am I going to be alone forever?" and "Will everyone think ill of me if I cram one more custard tart into my eat-hole?" And amid this Titanic -esque mad dash to the end of the [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the first X-Mas single of the year! jumping the gun slightly in early November (is it time to feel X-Massy yet?), but still wining the prize is Canadian ElectroPop noiseniks Dragonette , who have managed to be seasonal and ‘down with tha kids’ by combining a bittersweet X-Mas tune with text messaging. Nice! Merry Xmas (Says Your Text Message) has got bells in it, we should make that clear from the start, and choir sounds. Oh and copious amounts of the work “Fuck”, which is pretty special for an X-Mas [...]

By far the best Christmas song we've heard since GaGa's ! Filed under: Beats , Canuck
May as well accept it, it's time to start posting novelty Christmas songs. Thankfully this one, ' Merry Xmas (Says Your Text Message) ', is by Dragonette. Hooray!
Shake off the holiday blues with this new one from Dragonette.
Toronto's Dragonette are getting into the Christmas, um, spirit early. They release a single, "Merry Xmas (Says Your Text Message)", on November 20th. But you can stream it now. Listen to it here:

Look I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet. I despise stores and people who put up a single snowflake before Thanksgiving. So this goes against pretty much all I stand for, but I'm a whore for Dragonette. Yes it is technically a Christmas song, but really it's a perfect f*** you song that just happens to mention Xmas and has some bells in it. Finally something to start off the holiday season besides Mariah Carey "All I Want For Christmas Is You" being plaid ad nauseum. (Who am I kidding that is still gonna happen.) "So, mine [...]

I was really craving an EMPT throwback, especially since I am reminiscing in some good times back in 2010. The people you once knew tend to seem different, but you still miss them none the less, disasters happen such as the recent Hurricane Sandy in NYC, the music keeps changing, and so on and so forth, but yet whether you want to admit it or not, sometimes you want to reminisce and dance in the wonderful memories of the past. So here is a great throwback from Dragonette to get the Saturday night going and repair the weeks past...Re-Enjoy! [...]

![Dragonette, Young Empires and Data Romance @ Babylon Nightclub [October 20, 2012]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4578511_lg.jpg)
It was definitely a fun night at Babylon Nightclub on October 20th. Thought trying to get there at around 8:30pm would be good to wait in line. Once I got to the venue, there was already a long line-up being a sold out show. Also a first time where there was metal barriers at the venue. Playing at the show were: • Dragonette • Young Empires • Data Romance [...]

Happy Austin City Limits weekend. The brains behind ACL had enough sense to move the festival from the most sweltering time of the year to mid October. Youtube will be streaming the events all weekend, and chances are you'll probably have your FB or Twitter feeds littered with friends updates and Instagram photos about how awesome the Black Keys killed it or Neil Young turning in epic performance. Stay hydrated, bring an umbrella and pack your galoshes because it looks like it's going to be a wet weekend. Flume - Sleepless (Kit Pop [...]
"When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you." -Friedrich Nietzsche Universal, 2012 0.9 / 10.0 It was a cold October night when he decided to listen to Dragonette’s third album, Bodyparts, ostensibly an educational concept album meant to be used to teach young children about human [...]

Dragonette had me at Hello , literally! That was the first song I had ever heard from her and I’m not going to lie, it was pretty catchy and had me hooked. I’m not really much into electropop, but Dragonette’s vivacious pop sound always makes me feel like jumping wildly. Her new album, Bodyparts is much like her other albums, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It actually works very well for her genre of music. Her music focuses mostly on the party scene. You don’t want to hear a slow [...]
