A Los Angeles band that rode the early 2010s wave of danceable electronic pop.
If you need to place them, just put on "Tik Tok/Just Dance." That's the song that defined their run.
For a few years, A Cue Stick captured that specific, fizzy energy of late-2000s party pop. Their track "Tik Tok/Just Dance" was everywhere for a minute, a straightforward mix of electronic beats and shout-along hooks. Songs like "Who Says" and "Gives You Hell" followed the same formula, landing them squarely in that era's soundtrack.
They formed in Los Angeles around 2008, with Matt Busek on vocals and Jeffree Star on backing vocals. The 2009 EP "Party Rock" and 2010 album "Party Rock Anthem" came quickly, but after that initial burst, their output slowed to occasional singles.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
