LCD Soundsystem was an American dance-punk band from New York City. It was fronted by singer-songwriter and producer James Murphy, co-founder of record label DFA Records. The group released three critically acclaimed albums: their eponymous debut (2005),
Sound of Silver (2007) and
This Is Happening (2010); the last brought them commercial success, charting in the Top 10 of the
Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. The band is a three-time Grammy Award nominee.
On February 5, 2011, a statement was posted on the band's website that announced its disbandment following a farewell concert, which took place on April 2, 2011, at Madison Square Garden.
