Back in 2007, Dangerous Muse covered "(Every Day Is) Halloween," a great song by the Industrial Metal band Ministry. Mike Furey and Tom Napack updated the sound, but kept the Goth textures to deliver their own seasonal classic.
You can purchase the song from iTunes and Amazon. For more about Dangerous Muse, visit their official website. There you might even find a link to get a free download of the song!
I thought a great way to kick off the weekend is to listen to the music of Mike Furey and Tom Napack, better known as Dangerous Muse. I love their music, although there really isn't a lot of it available. This is from the 2006 EP of the same name.
In 2009, They appeared in the film House of Boys. The movie, set in 1984, follows the lives of several boys working in a bar/brothel in Amsterdam, at the dawn of the AIDS crisis. They performed in the club, singing two songs. Only part of the songs made it to the final cut of the movie. The first of which is Boys Like You, written by Amanda Ghost in 2005.
They also performed Sex Dwarf, the 1981 song by Soft Cell off the Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, the same album that gave us Tainted Love.
Their most recent release is Fame Kills, a free download from earlier this year. This was to celebrate their earlier release, I Want It All, making it to #1 on the LOGO Click List.
Speaking of I Want It All, it is still a great song, with a scorching hot video. This was thought to be the first single off the long-awaited full-length album, but that has yet to be released.
You can find the Give Me Danger EP on iTunes here, and on Amazon here. You can find their 2009 I Want It All single on iTunes here, and on Amazon here.

Dangerous Muse is made up by the impossibly fit & beautiful Mike Furey and Tom Napack. The New York-based duo met while attending school at Fordham University, and have been making all kinds of wonderful music since. Included in that music was their most recent song, I Want It All, with a video that might require a warning, it is so hot to look at! So when you watch it, I would advise you turn the volume up and click on full screen, cause you will want to see it all!
If you go to their website here, and enter your email to join their mailing list, they will send you a link to download the latest song, Fame Kills. The song is from the long-awaited album, Take Control. The new song is already in rotation on my iPod!
I have to admit, I don't know a tremendous amount about Dangerous Muse. I caught a link to their video, and was impressed on many levels. First, the song is really good. Second, they are really hot. And third, after looking around, they are openly gay. Wow, a trifecta of sorts, a real winning combination for me. Dangerous Muse are vocalist Mike Furey and Musician/Programmer Tom Napack, two handsome boys who met at Fordham University in New York City. They have perfected their electro-rock sound, a sleek and sexy delivery, and a video that is part Lady GaGa, part Bel Ami Studios. The song is I Want It All, the first single from the EP of the same name, released mid December.
In 2005, they released the first EP and single, both entitled The Rejection. The smoldering song with the driving beat is really interesting, for the video fleshes the lyrics out and makes it a story of a gay man wanting to dance with the girls at the club, but that's it. He no jerk, just not interested. Good for singer Furey and key-tarist Napack.
In 2006, they released the Give Me Danger EP. The six-song effort included the single The Rejection, and the other two tracks from the previous release, as well as the title track that truly reminded me of Depeche Mode geared for the dance floor, a little less dark but sweatier.
Not content to be pretty, successful, and signed by a major label, Furey and Napack have also joined H&M's Fashion Against AIDS campaign, and designed a t-shirt available for purchase. 25% of the sales price will be given to HIV/AIDS prevention projects of Designers against AIDS, UNFPA, MTVs Staying Alive Foundation and YouthAIDS. Great job, men! You can check out their website here, the latest release on iTunes here, or the smoking hot video for I Want It All on iTunes here.
