Escort

Escort is a full-on 17-piece disco band that plies its trade with zero irony and infinite talent. And the outfit is simply amazing when it plays live, which is what it’ll be doing tonight, at the biggest headlinging gig the group has played so far. The gig is in celebration of the new Escort single, "Cocaine Blues"—which is itself a teaser for an soon-to-be-released album. (A free mp3 is available through weareescort.com.) The DJ lineup is pure hotness as well, with the Rub-N-Tug duo, Metro Area's Darshan Jesrani and Mister Saturday Night's Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin on the bill; Midnight Magic opens up.
