The Gods Themselves

Formed in 2014, The Gods Themselves are a dance punk band from Seattle, WA. Songwriting duo Astra Elane (vocals, guitar) and Dustin Patterson (vocals, baritone) exude art-punk bravado with raw angular guitars and hungry vocals shimmering atop disco undertones. With a tight-hot rotating rhythm section they deliver vivid, hook-laden hits that make for encore demands at the band’s celebrated, sexy live shows.

For their upcoming full-length release, “New Excuse” the band teamed up with renowned producer Stephen Hague, legend for his work with Peter Gabriel, Pet Shop Boys, Pretenders, New Order, Sparks, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Public Image Ltd., Pere Ubu and many more. The bands fourth studio album will be out in May, 2020 and promises to impress with all the glamour and decadence TGT fans desire and deserve.

TGT received their big break in 2018 when the late, great Anthony Bourdain invited them to be on his show, Parts Unknown. Intrigued by their hate anthem “Tech Boys”, a commentary on the tech invasion of Seattle, Bourdain’s love of the band helped introduce them to fans all over the world who now eagerly await the band’s new album.

The Gods Themselves have performed with Tacocat, Carseat Headrest, La Luz, The Shivas, The Intelligence and many more. They have toured as main support for Cindy Wilson (B-52's), Blowfly and performed multiple festivals including Capitol Hill Block Party, South Lake Union Block Party, and performed on local and international TV.
