Dragonette played at the House of Blues in Dallas, Texas supporting Major Lazer on their current tour on March 11. Lead singer Martina Sorbara, bassist Dan Kurtz and drummer Joel Stouffer were in top form and had the crowd dancing. They played a few songs from their latest release, 'Bodyparts' on Universal Records.

The set list included the songs "I Get Around," "Riot," "Live In This City" and "Stand Behind Me." "Pick Up The Phone" was a crowd pleaser and "Time After Time," a Cyndi Lauper cover was excellent. Dragonette rounded out the set with "My Legs," "My Work Is Done," "Hello" and "Let It Go."

Major Lazer played after Dragonette and attracted a wild and crazy crowd. The ladies were scantily clad and as the night wore on, so were most of the men. Some of the audience members wore costumes. "They figured out how to turn a rave into a musical act," said one audience member about the band.

Major Lazer is performing at SXSW in Austin on Thursday, March 14 with Snoop Lion at 9 p.m. at Viceland. March 15 they are playing at UME Festival on South Padre Island. On March 26 and 17, Major Lazer is performing at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Florida. March 19 they are performing at the Majestic Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin. More tour dates are listed on Major Lazer's Facebook page.
