Guitar virtuosos Joe Satriani and Steve Vai have unveiled the song “Dancing” as the latest single from their SATCHVAI project. The music video for the track stars Metalocalypse creator and real-life Dethklok frontman Brendon Small.
The new song comes ahead of SATCHVAI’s headlining North American spring tour, which kicks off April 1st in Seattle. The “Surfing With The Hydra” outing features support from Animals As Leaders, with tickets available here.

According to a press release, “Dancing” is a “a reimagined interpretation of a song by iconic Italian singer, pianist, and songwriter Paolo Conte.”
Satriani stated, “‘Dancing’ really captures the playful side of what Steve and I discovered on stage together last summer — that push-and-pull of melody and energy. The video gave us a chance to show that spirit in a completely different way. Watching ZZ bring this absurd casting concept to life — and having Brendon step into the madness — made it even more fun.”

Vai added, “This band thrives on surprise — musically and visually. ‘Dancing’ is a perfect example of that. It’s melodic but relentless, and the video turns that energy into a kind of surreal comedy. It’s a glimpse into the personality of this band before we even hit the stage.”
“Dancing” will be included on SATCHVAI’s upcoming debut album, which is expected to be released later this year.
