Looks like today has become ‘disco day’ this week on MB so what better time for London-based outfit Santa Semeli And The Monks to ask (with tongue firmly in cheek) Where Is The Disco In This Town?. Like they don’t already know. Coupling a pumping but funky late seventies groove with the Bowery-flavoured campness of the video (performance artistes and arch looks abound), the outfit fully embrace the pan-sexual coke-dusted spirit of an era with the sort of hook that could gain them instant entry into Studio 54. Turns out there’s even vinyl on the way – though whether this, in keeping with the era in question (not to mention the nature of the music), provides the full twelve inches remains to be seen.
