Let’s get this out of the way: Makes My Blood Dance is not for everyone. They’re not trying to be. And that’s exactly why they matter.
This spring, the unapologetically eccentric band is tagging along with Powerman 5000 and Julien-K for a West Coast tour that’s less about nostalgia and more about what comes next. And if you’ve been anywhere near the algorithm lately, you’ve seen the viral splash their new single “Time And A Place” has made — all Mad Hatter glam and industrial grit.
But this isn’t just about a viral moment. It’s about energy. It’s about risk. It’s about a band leaning all the way in at a time when everyone else seems content to play it safe.
Their upcoming record Z3r02LGHT$p33D! — yeah, good luck typing that into your Notes app — is shaping up to be a genre-fluid statement of intent. It’s produced by Mikal Blue and Bret “Epic” Mazur, both of whom know a thing or two about pushing boundaries. From what we’ve heard live so far, the new songs slap in all the right ways: blistering, cinematic, unpredictable.
But the real win? The shows. MMBD is a performance-first band. No backing tracks, no phone-in vocals, and no posturing. It’s sweat, sequins, and synchronized madness. This tour is your chance to see them in their element — in the wild, under strobes, with speakers shaking the floor.
Music today often feels sanitized. Makes My Blood Dance is the opposite. They’re weird. They’re loud. They’re messy. And they might be exactly what we need right now.
