Now Live: DA BandsInTown Calendar

At Dancing Astronaut, we know that going to live shows is a community experience at heart. Fans compete with friends to be the first to find out about events. Then those with the best online access (and line of credit) during on-sale time buy up tickets. Then there's plenty more planning to do: carpools, hotels, sharing key tracks with that one friend who just needs a little convincing...the list goes on.

Now, we have an even easier way for fans and their friends to get ready for their next big live show. Click past the break for more details:

Dancing Astronaut store: all sold out

And just like that, in two short weeks, our stock of Dancing Astronaut apparel sold out in our first onsale. Although we don’t know when we’ll next have merchandise available again, we are aware that the $10 shipping cost created a barrier for some, and our very first goal for future rounds of production will be to lower the shipping costs for our fans, even if it’s at our own cost.

To those of you who were fortunate enough to get your hands on a tanktop or t-shirt: we’ll be on the lookout this summer.

If you have any suggestions for future merchandise, or just want to send us your thoughts (barring shipping cost requests), please send them our way to store_cs@dancingastronaut.com.

Introducing: the Dancing Astronaut Store

After much eager waiting and anticipation, the official Dancing Astronaut Store is finally ready for takeoff.

Just in time for 2012's busy festival season, our first run will include men's and women's tank tops as well as a clean, simple unisex t-shirt, each adorned with our signature Astrohead design. We can't wait to see these in the front row at upcoming events!

Our Summer 2012 run will be available for purchase on Monday, July 2. Get ready!

Dancing Astronaut Tumblr

To our beloved followers, whether business or casual, welcome. We have created a new forum for you to stay up to date about us, rather than strictly EDM news.

Though a young publication, we are growing quickly - albeit a little too fast, which is always a good problem. With so many developments coming down the pipeline, we want inform you of them before their implementation; we hate those sudden changes on Facebook, TechCrunch, etc. as much as you guys do. Announcements of new video series, new site designs, and more will be made on the DA site, but specifically also compiled here.

What's more - we are dedicated solely not to just covering news for you, but to ensure that you enjoy EDM in the best way possible. That means we need you tell us what you like, but more importantly, what you hate. So go ahead, voice how terribly we botched new rollouts until we get things right. Just please make constructive suggestions in your comments!

Again, this is our way to tailor everything we do for you, the only people that matter. So help us be the best source for everything EDM in the universe - follow the Tumblr and contribute with your ideas!

Thanks from all of us at Dancing Astronaut. You have been the best - don't stop now.
