Electronic Pop | House
Gang of Four-ish bass line, vocoded vocals, disco-esque backbeat, with Rock feeling throughout is the decor for Shout Out Out Out Out’s, “Dude You Feel Electrical”. Kinda of hover in the space between Interpol and Daft Punk.
A couple members (Gravy and Lyle) of Shout Out Out Out Out also play in a banded called Whitey Houston.

Ok, I’m going back in time to 1997 for what many consider one of the very first electro-clash tracks called, “Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass” by I-F.
Here is a little background of I-F via wikipedia:
I-F (short for Inter-Ference; real name Ferenc E. van der Sluijs) is a producer and DJ based in The Hague, The Netherlands. He is a former member of the Dutch electro pioneers Unit Moebius. In 1997 he produced the track “Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass”, which became a huge underground dance hit and is often credited the earliest example of Electroclash, although I-F himself has been of critical interest in the Electroclash scene.
Talk about the 80’s references, how can you deny a song that actually samples the original He-Man intro of, “By the power of Gray Skull!!! and includes such lyrics as, “I want to dance with She-Ra”. All this is courtesy of the electroclash band, “Bondage Fairies”! And just like Kiss before them, they are never seen with their masks.
