After their wildly successful performance at Lollapalooza 2009, Chicago-based DJ/electro duo Moneypenny will take their music to the masses with this free 2-song digital single & a string of upcoming high profile buzz gigs in Chicago, LA & San Francisco.

Moneypenny are working on their debut full length release for 2010 (working with Simon Perry/Echo & The Bunnymen), however in the meantime, enjoy the following:

First single “Say No” was recorded in Chicago earlier this year & comes packaged with an insanely dance floor ready remix courtesy of good friends & fellow Chicagoans, Hey Champ.

The duo, which began strictly as a DJ project in 2008, quickly blossomed into a full-fledged live act as Jessica Gonyea (A-Cup) & Chess Hubbard (Mother Hubbard)’s shared passion for new wave, pop, indie, electro & house music led them to write & record original material. Kept under lock & key until their debut live performance at Lollapalooza, Moneypenny’s original tracks quickly became must have material for industry types on both sides of the pond as word spread about these 2 incredibly talented young ladies. More than just 2 pretty faces, Moneypenny come stacked with a slew of great songs – one of which has already been licensed to ABC TV’s Make It Or Break It – a charismatic live show incorporating custom video projections and DJ skills to keep the after party going all night long.

Moneypenny’s trend of playing “all the right gigs” continues into October with live sets at Dim Mak Tuesdays at Cinespace in Los Angeles & the legendary Popscene! party in San Francisco acting as their debut performances in each market.
