Those Dancing Days are an indie pop band with Northern Soul and girl-group influences, from Nacka, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 2005.[2] They are currently signed to Wichita Recordings.
Those Dancing Days are five young girls from Stockholm. Their name derives from the Led Zeppelin song "Dancing Days".[3] Two of the band members are still in school,[4] but they received a lot of publicity during 2007 including being featured in NME and on MTV2. They were also nominated for the Best Swedish Act prize at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007.[5] They released a 5-track EP in Sweden before being signed by UK label Wichita Recordings, who released a self-titled single in October 2007 (described as "Blondie backed by the Attractions",[6] and "The Slits rehearsing with Bow Wow Wow whilst breaking in a new drummer"[7]), with a second single, "Hitten", and an album to follow in 2008.[2]
The band have played many gigs in their native Sweden as well as in the United Kingdom and Germany.
