OMD, aka Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, just released their 14th studio album “Bauhaus Staircase” and it’s just as danceable, heartfelt and catchy as their early ’80s output.To celebrate the new record, the band will hit the road from September through October on their ‘Bauhaus Staircase Tour’ with special guest Walt Disco.Midway through the 27-concert run, Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys group are scheduled to drop into New York City’s Terminal 5 on Thursday, Oct. 10 and Huntington’s Paramount on Saturday, Oct.

How Cool Are You,” released earlier this year.Featuring the band hamming it up on a skating rink in purposely loud, garish outfits and makeup, it is as punky, queer, and disarmingly fun as the Glasgow sextet themselves.With a stunning EP already under their belts, the band, led by magnetic lead singer James Potter, has now released their impressive first full-length album, Unlearning (★★★★★).Walt Disco comes across as brash and anarchic in both their sound and their ethos, but what becomes quickly apparent to anyone who listens to Walt Disco is that they are not only talented, they have done their homework, too.Proudly copping from glam rock, art pop, new wave and the Scottish post-punk scene, Walt Disco’s sound is loud, charismatic, and wondrously eclectic. Potter’s throaty, dramatic vocals, which land somewhere between Bowie and Bauhaus, are a surprisingly versatile vehicle for lyrics that range in mood from brooding to manic and everything in between.Indebted as they are to a handful of movements that crested in the ’80s, they avoid coming across as a pastiche of them.
