Fan Death

Fan Death is a disco band which started in Brooklyn, New York in 2007 and are now based in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 2008 Erol Alkan remixed and released their debut single Veronica's Veil on his Phantasy Sounds label. Following this Big Love Records from Tokyo released the single Cannibal featuring remixes from CfCf and Manderson. To date Fan Death has played shows with Florence and The Machine, Metronomy, Telepathe, Late Of The Pier and Franz Ferdinand as well as at the Afisha festival in Moscow and in Mexico City. They have been featured in international magazines such as NME[1], The Fader[2], Nylon Magazine, The Guardian Newspaper[3], Dazed & Confused Magazine and on the cover of Italy's Pig Magazine[4] surrounded by naked men. The band recorded an EP in 2009 with the help and assistance of Kevin James Maher. Also in 2009, they have remixed artists such as Ladyhawke, Frankmusik, The Virgins, Lindstrom, Lost Valentinos and Datarock. The name is a reference to the South Korean myth regarding the fear of suffocation via electric fan. They are currentely supporting Vampire Weekend on the UK leg of their world tour.

It will also open a new EP called A Coin For The Well, which is...

Ghost Hunter, Fan Death - sounds like a whole lotta killing’s gone on around here recently, albeit in anything but cold blood.
