It seems like a common rock and roll cliché for bands to move to Hollywood, party with reckless abandon, and hang out at strip clubs. For Washington D.C.'s The Dance Party, the L.A. party lifestyle seemed like the most obvious next step in their career.

While in Hollywood writing and recording "Touch," their debut record for Atlantic Records' newly established Hell Ya! Records, The Dance Party simply took over Crazy Girls - L.A.'s premiere strip club - setting up shop with a naughty monthly residency involving energetic performances, excessive partying, and most importantly, onstage strippers.
 
While the band's over the top live show and song writing may have seemed out of place in Washington, D.C., a city best known for power suits and politics, The Dance Party fit right in with the drugs, sex, and rock and roll of the Sunset Strip. "In Hollywood, we found a lifestyle that matched the music we wanted to make," says the band's lead singer Mick Coogan, "We found muses in the beautiful California girls and inspiration in the excess. Our record is a natural expression of how we live and we're proud of it." The band's series of sold-out shows at Crazy Girls gained instant notoriety, quickly becoming one of the most insane parties in Hollywood. Where else could a rock band built for shirtless, sexual, and cocksure strutting find a home?
