When making predictions for what might be hot in 2009, best friends Busy Gangnes and Melissa Livaudais (a.k.a. Telepathe) didn’t include themselves on the list, though they might as well have. The pair will release its debut full-length, Dance Mother, in less than two weeks, and on the live show front the girls are already in high demand. Hence, the numerous show dates below (double dates in Chicago and New York included), a good number of which are opening spots for Ladytron and The Faint. Telepathe will tour through the end of June, while meanwhile, Dance Mother is set for release on April 14 via IAMSOUND.
