The Dancing Cigarettes

Wikipedia now features an extensive article on The Dancing Cigarettes, lovingly compiled by Hugh Heinsohn and some other folks from back in the day.

If you are looking for mp3′s, Musical Family Tree has a bunch.

Also, there is a new Facebook Fan page which you are sure to “like”.

Until now, the Dancing Cigarettes were on YouTube only in the form of audio with no accompanying video, just a shot of their EP.

Fortunately,a decent quality vintage  live video has been located.

This footage was recorded by some students from Indiana University for a telecom project in 1981 at Oscars  in Bloomington, IN circa 1981/82.  The band is in fine form.  The band has released a few songs from the show. Check ‘em out. Almost like you were there!

This is a fan site dedicated to the Dancing Cigarettes, Bloomington, Indiana‘s much loved new wave band from 1979 to 1983.
