About Makes My Blood Dance
Makes My Blood Dance (MMBD) is a New York-based group fronted by EV0, combining electro-goth, industrial and disco-metal. The band built an audience from 2024 through a run of singles and videos and heavy touring, playing more than 100 shows before their debut album.
That debut, “#Z3R0 2 LGHT $P33D!”, arrived in early June 2026 on Metropolis Records on CD and digital, with a vinyl edition set to follow ahead of the tour. It gathered the singles that preceded it, among them “Heavy Metal Armour”, “Time And A Place”, “Your Little Hand In Mine” and “Black Summer”, along with “Lately”, an industrial-funk cover of the Macy Gray track that features the singer herself. The 2026 tour is the group’s first extended run behind that record and their first time playing the UK and Ireland.
