The Electro-Clash scene in New York City was undoubtedly one of the most creatively glamorous, deliciously lascivious and culturally influential pop music movements in recent years, but like most dance music, while ground breaking in its production, it may have lacked a certain emphasis on the art of songwriting.
Vocalist Mike Furey, a regular at the hottest downtown dance parties, wanted to use that dark, lusty, trashy dance sound hed absorbed there to write the more personal songs that were gestating in his sub-conscious. Programmer/keyboardist Tom Napack, new to the scene, was looking for a vocalist and songwriting partner. They got together and immediately knew they had something. Combining the gloomy sexiness of underground New York with a keen sense of song craft and pop drama, Dangerous Muses sound is as comfortable on the dance floor as it is the morning after.
New York performances at MisShapes, Scenic, Happy Valley and Crash Mansion began to spread the success of their first single The Rejection and Dangerous Muse was off and running. Soon they had Mr. Steins attention and found themselves working on their first commercial release with Ted Ottaviano (Book of Love).
In November 2005, Dangerous Muse released their first EP with Cordless Recordings, the newest addition to the Warner Music Group of labels. The day the EP was available, "The Rejection" soared to number 2 on iTunes top-selling dance charts and stayed at the top of the charts for weeks.
Dangerous Muse are currently working on writing and producing their next "cluster," (Digital EP), available May 2006. They'll also be releasing a CD EP (available in stores this July), featuring an Eric Kupper remix of "The Rejection" and some other special content.
Both Mike and Tom are gay, though that's not what they label themselves, the prefer pansexual.

At two am, she jumped on me,
said for five months she has loved ...
"Okay, it's your turn. Say the same."
I'd like to like you like you like me
but I can't please understand.
I'm not a jerk -- but I am.
She wept and wiped her face with one hand
said that we can't be friends.
"How could you not want me. I'm hot.
Just tell me. It's okay."
Stop trying. I don't want you.
You don't want to stop trying.
You want me, well --
I want to dance.
Stop trying. You don't want to.
I don't want you. Stop trying.
You want me, but --
I want to dance.
Days do pass, still wants to talk,
says for five months, she has loved ...
Okay, you know I'm not the same.
I'd like to like you like you like me,
but I can't please understand.
I'm not a jerk -- but I am.
She weeps and wipes her face with more tears,
this time, with her other hand.
"How could you kiss me there then just go,
leave me a sample in a song."
Stop trying--trying--trying.
I don't want you. You don't want to stop trying.
You want me, well --
I want to dance.
Stop trying. You don't want to.
I don't want you. Stop trying.
You want me, but --
I want to dance.
Stop crying, I don't want you.
You don't want to stop crying.
You want me, well --
I want to dance.
Stop crying, I don't want you.
You don't want to stop crying.
You want me, but --
I want to dance.
So just dance.
Put on your boots and walk out the door.
Forget the face that you watched before.
(Don't love me.)
It's not worth the time or worth the tears.
Shut your mouth. Be a dear.
(I don't want you.)
Put on your boots and walk out the door.
Forget the face that you watched before.
(Don't love me.)
It's not worth the time or worth the tears.
Shut your mouth. Be a dear.
(I don't want you.)
Arms up.
Just dance.
Arms out.
Just dance.
Arms up. Just dance.
Arms out. Just dance.
Arms up. Just dance.
Arms out. Just dance.
Just dance.
I won't say that I love you.
I can't say that I love you.
