Whenever I put on one of my Femme Generation records I feel like tapping my toes and taking a tequila fueled road trip to the ocean where I would throw like a beach party that would be ever so swinging. Full of jingle jangle beats, floating vocals and some feet-moving synth nuggets, Femme Generation is on a mission of movement and rhythm and if you don't subscribe to their teachings they'll come and burn down your village and with hold their precious indie rock rations leaving you to culturally starve.

Describe your sound like you were a pretentious philosophy professor trying to score some play.

Post-proto-structuralist-dance-rock via neo-sensationalist-electro-sex-punk meets Queen.

How has your sound evolved since you released that ass kicking EP Circle Gets The Square?

It devolved into a series of yelps, moans, and beats. At one point it felt like we were atop Mt. Kilimanjaro with squeeze boxes and flutes waiting for Yahweh to come, but I think we're over that now. Lately it's been all about selling out in the worst way. We just pitched a jingle to Wal-Mart (fingers crossed) and our latest single has been chosen for the title sequence of Cars 2: Electric Boogaloo.

What are some tips on engaging in the art of dancing that Toronto stand-and-nodders need to know?

Well, first of all nothing in the world is more important than dancing. That's a scientific fact. Without dancing there would be no procreation and the human race would die out in a generation. Keep that in mind. Secondly, very few people in the world actually "know" how to dance. Most people just do it without thinking about it and unless you've never had sex in your life, it's really hard to fuck up. Thirdly, we know who you are and where
you live.

What kinds of events is your music suitable for?

Weddings and Bar Mitzvahs mostly. The occasional funeral, but usually those are the types for horses asses who pretend they want everyone to "celebrate their lives" instead of mourn their deaths. I think that's bullshit. I want tears and platitudes and under no circumstances is anyone picking up at my funeral. Which, incidentally, will be a viking funeral if I have anything to say about it.

What would people say for your eulogy if y’all pulled a Big Bopper?

“Which generation?”

What sounds are you dying to explore?

Full blown fucking MUSICAL version of Black Rain. Some day...
