We Are The World

Praised by Paper Magazine and LA Weekly among others, We Are The World have become one of the most unique and dynamic groups to come out of Los Angeles in recent years.

Formed in the summer of 2008 by film composer Robbie Williamson and choreographer Ryan Heffington, the duo's aim was to create devastating electronic pop music. Joining forces with designer Megan Gold and former CIA agent turned burlesque dancer Nina McNeely, they combined Gold's provocative lyrics and Williamson’s heavy minimal tracks with Heffington and McNeely’s visceral dancing, and their first live shows were at the infamous roving Echo Park party Fingered.

We Are The World's pounding bass and thrilling live show soon won them a passionate hometown following who reveled in the group’s choreographed concert performances. We Are The World have played with The Gossip, Fuck Buttons, Linda Perhacs, and Tricky. High Places highlighted We Are The World in their Pitchfork year-end Guest List for their "amazing visual and performative live show." A recent European tour found We Are The World playing to packed crowds in London, Copenhagen, and Berlin. YouTube comments like, "What an awesome dance force – fucked me up for days thinking about them live" are frequent

We Are The World's debut single "Clay Stones" will be released on IAMSOUND on January 26, 2010, backed by remixes by Drums of Death, Turbotito, and Van Rivers & the Subliminal Kid (Fever Ray). The video for "Clay Stones" was co-directed by We Are The World and Alma Har'el (Beirut, Jack Peñate) and shot in a fire-ravaged section of forest near Lake Arrowhead.
