Katseye and the Gap are giving us something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

Getting one's groove on, A.K.A. busting a move, is an age-old tradition that dates back more than 50,000 years to the time of Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon humans, who rhythmically writhed to drumming and even vocalizations.
