Toronto's favorite sexy-electro duo Woodhands is back with a brand new digital EP that is a broad collection of remixes, restylings, and reworkings of the killer track "Dancer "from their acclaimed full-length debut, Heart Attack! Set for release on March 3rd through Paper Bag Digital, the Dancer EP includes remixes by labelmate CFCF, Philly MC [...]
One of the things I noted when I wrote about Heart Attack was that, if you listen closely enough, you'll hear a strong undercurrent of sadness running through the album. While Dan Werb -- known, with Paul Banwatt, as Woodhands -- may have been screaming about dancers at the beginning of the album, but by the end you get the sense that his night on the dancefloor led to a substantial amount ...
Toronto's electro-punk duo Woodhands return after a three-year stagnancy with their first album for Paper Bag Records called Heart Attack . The band describes the album's 10 tracks as "nine absolute bangers and one requisite slow jam, for artistic cred" though I've yet to find anything slightly mundane or predictable. I hear they put on one hell of a teeth-chattering live performance, b...
The eclectic, electric duo Woodhands we posted on last month has released a nifty new music video. The video for "I Wasn't Made For Fighting" plays havoc with the time-space continuum and combines sweet visual effects with digitally endorsed music. Their live sets make almost all who are watching breakout into dance, probably in a similar fashion to Woodhands' internet girlfriend in the offi...

Toronto dance-punk duo Woodhands create the sort of dirty, slithering electro that is unapologetic (like most music should be), and we can't help but fall in love with them for it. They'll be releasing a new EP on March 3...
Toronto's Woodhands are about to release a digital-only EP featuring remixes and reworkings of their semi-hit single "Dancer" -- I preferred their song "Be Back Soon", but Dancer was the big System-of-a-Down-esque club hit, so it's understandable that one would get the 7-song "victory lap" EP.The more interesting news is Woodhands' totally unnecessary cover of Eddy Grant's 1982 worldwide hit (#...
I have never listened to Woodhands before, but I couldn't resist checking out an "Electric Avenue" cover. Promo email says: Toronto's favorite sexy-electro duo Woodhands is back with a brand new digital EP that is a broad collection of remixes, restylings, and reworkings of the killer track Dancer from their acclaimed full-length debut, Heart Attack ! In celebration of bringing sweaty back, ...
TorontoAn interesting, exciting double-billing of electro bands, Toronto's Woodhands and Junior Boys, originally from Hamilton, stopped in at Toronto's Lee's Palace Friday night. Woodhands' energetic, in-your-face electro-pop is a guaranteed party starter; Junior Boys are much more about sexy grooviness. To Woodhands, you jump and scream. Junior Boys call for more restrained behaviour (at least...
Photo by velouria!Toronto electro-duo Woodhands will be embarking on a US tour this Thursday May 7th in the wake of their recent Paper Bag Records Dancer EP. Woodhands has been touring pretty much constantly, with stops across North America, Japan, China, & upcoming dates in Europe. Their live show has to be seen to be believed: no pre-programmed samples, no laptops, no safety net: just two hyp...
Of course it had to happen. The most remixed song (our thoughts, not actually confirmed) of 2008 and the early part of this year, Katy Perry's massive, controversial and altogether-too-much-fun single "I Kissed A Girl" has finally gotten itself a...
