I think Happy Mondays and Mighty Mighty Bosstones both have dedicated dancers in the band. Is there ever a situation where this isn't wack as fuck?

Avail did it too. Crap

Fred from Hazel. Saved many a show with his dance

Folks on the "MKII" PRF are way too uptight...

News at eleven.

For starters...

Slymenstra Hymen

(Seriously, think about that someone is actually having to break this down for you...)

Stacia..

(Though I'm not even going to be all that stunned if some of you just draw a damn blank on that one...)

Any one of a bunch of featured members of of Prince's bands...

Cat Glover or Mayte without even really trying to think about it.

The Time.

(I mean, how much more "Obvious Stuff 101..." can we get?)

Tell them Fugazi had one for a spell and see if there's a change in the percentages.

From the looks of the "Ain't Mutatin" video, Bird Nest Roys possibly had several, but I wouldn't know for sure if that was a regular thing (wasn't there).

The one time I saw Shizuo (not a rock band, granted) he had a couple, a guy wearing football gear and Nazi cleats (they had actual swastikas on them) and an attractive woman with no underwear who occasionally spread her legs--the message seeming to be that Americans mostly cared or were "about" football and sex. That was..creative.

Having a dancer or dancers...depends on context, the music itself, and the dancer(s), but a band looking to create a spectacle could do worse.

I'm trying to contain an outbreak, and you are driving the monkey to the airport...

(But, yeah... Bringing that one up might have got me over into "Dude, settle down..." territory...)
