Some bands work for years for even the smallest scrap of national attention. For Cincinnati’s Bad Veins, that recognition came just after their second show in 2006 and has hardly abated in the subsequent six years.    

If you've never been to DANCE_MF and/or have no idea what I'm talking about, you are probably an adult human with a respectable job or children who doesn't necessarily find a monthly need to get really close, drunk and dancey with a bunch of twenty- to thirtysomethings. But DMF is more than a party.   

Meet the new, revamped, increasingly-better-subsidized Bad Veins, Cincinnati's Indie Rock golden boys. Through their dignified tenacity, a fever-pitch of hype and their undeniable good looks, they've gone and gotten themselves picked up by L.A.-based Dangerbird Records.
