Hercules and Love Affair pay homage to low-budget TV dance programs from the late ’80s/early ’90s in the music video for “My House”, the lead single of their forthcoming Blue Songs album. Detroit’s The New Dance Show is an obvious inspiration, but the video will likely make Canadian fans long for the days when Electric Circus ruled the airwaves.
Blue Songs is out in the UK/Europe via Moshi Moshi on January 31. Check out a list of forthcoming European tour dates after the jump.

Ugh… as hot as the Man Hercules is… I can only take this kind of music for about 2 minutes. Perhaps I’m just too old for it.
