Dance-punk duo back from the dead

Lubricating dance floors with scuzzy bass lines and buckets of hormones, Toronto duo Death From Above 1979 make the kind of libidinal, raw-throated skronk suggestive of a rock dive conjoined to a discotheque.

“There’s nothing sacred to me,” singer-drummer Sebastien Grainger notes on “Virgins” from the band’s first record in a decade, the recently released “The Physical World.”

If anything, though, his words feel a little redundant: The way these two bed hop between punk, electro and stoner rock belies any inhibitions.

Added bonus for the group’s Vegas gig: Following their set, there will be a free show by MSTRKRFT, a dance-punk duo founded by Death From Above bassist Jesse Keeler.

Now, that’s more Canadian merriment than any of us deserve.
