History

Dangerous Muse formed when Mike Furey and Tom Napack met as students at Fordham University, New York City. Furey, a singer-songwriter trained in piano, wanted to experiment with a more electronic sound and Napack, a musician-programmer/guitarist/keyboardist, was looking to collaborate with a lyricist. Their first recording, "The Rejection", caught the attention of record mogul Seymour Stein who offered the duo a demo deal with Sire Records and facilitated their signing to Cordless Recordings, a digital imprint of Warner Music Group. Soon after, the duo signed with former Warner Bros. Records Senior Executive, Craig Kostich of Operational Art, for management.

"The Rejection" was their debut three-song digital EP. A music video for the lead single aired on MTV/Logo Network and in its second week went to #1 on the countdown. This success rallied significant press coverage for the duo. Highlights include the cover of The Advocate's annual music issue, Perez Hilton's popular blog, and the New York Daily News "Year End Ones to Watch." The song "The Rejection " was on the soundtrack for the movie " I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry ".^[3] They were featured in the H&M Fashion Against Aids annual campaign along with Katy Perry, Yoko Ono, Robyn and other artists to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS. An exclusive t-shirt designed by Dangerous Muse was sold in stores worldwide and online to support the cause.^[4] Dangerous Muse was the band on stage for the movie "House of Boys".^[3] Tom Napack did remixes for artists such as Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga, The Veronicas, Eddie Amador, Crystal Waters, Blush Response and Aesthetic Perfect.

Significant Dangerous Muse performances include direct support for Erasure in The Violet Flame Tour, NewNowNext Awards w/ Lady Gaga (MTV Studios, Times Square), Cornell University and Irving Plaza.

In April 2012, the band officially announced that Tom Napack had left Dangerous Muse to begin his own project, Vanity Police. Dangerous Muse currently performs as a 4-piece band with live video art projections by Mojo Video Tech.

In March 2017, the band released their album Electric Eternity.^[5]
