Prairie Dance Club’s music has been described as Sonic Canadiana. This Langley quartet’s unique blend of alternative folk rock is grounded in timeless melody and has steadily been winning over listeners since the band’s formation in the fall of 2007. Since that time they have completed a full length album as well as a 5 song EP, which was released in the fall of 2010. In their short history, they have shared the stage with established and up-and-coming Canadian artists such as Tom Wilson and Lee Harvey Osmond, Matt Mays and El Torpedo, Arkells, Flash Lightnin and Armchair Cynics.
The band has had their music in TV shows such as America's Next Top Model and MTV'S 16 and Pregnant. Their song "Spring" was also featured in the PBS series Road Trip Nation.
They were also a top ten finalist in the Shore 104.3's Song Search competition for 2011.
