With a name like Dandi Wind, you'd think you'd stumbled upon the female counterpart to new-age don Rafi--but au contraire. This stuff sounds like it could have rocked CBGB back in the '80s. A duo formed by Dandi Opaine blurts out spastic screams between chanty lyrics while her pal Szam Findlay delivers hyper dance music production and punked-out guitar riffs.
After four years in existence, Dandi Wind have managed to garner worldwide acclaim and a rabid following while making some of the most confrontational dance music on earth - accompanied of course by their famously physical, sensorily stunning live show, which i-D magazine described as "dropping jaws wherever it stops". Formed in 2003 by Dandi Opaine and Szam Findlay, who had collaborated in animation and sculpture prior to music, Dandi Wind have been laying waste to countless art school discos with their full-frontal audio-visual assault.
