The Dunes Phase

After numerous tours and press adulation for their party-starting debut To the Rooftops, Chicago's Watchers return with more short, sharp shots of groove-fueled power and inspiration. The Dunes Phase finds the band expanding upon their unique brand of tightly wound avant-rock and infectious dance-funk. Throwing down snatches of early XTC, Pop Group, no wave, soul, dub, and psychedelia with an endless sense of experimentation, Watchers chart a nimble course through the secret history of pop music. Shows with James Chance (opening up and as his backing band), Radio 4, Ted Leo, !!!, Gogogo Airheart, Panthers, Natural History and many more have spread the Watchers' gospel and won fans worldwide. If you haven't been converted yet, shake your limbs to the Watchers' brand new imperative: The Dunes Phase!
