I need more, would appreciate a little recommendations

I should very well clarify myself. NOT ACTUAL DANCE BANDS like Enya and Kylie Minogue. Basically dancy alternative rock bands or bands using electronic sounds in their music.

something like:
LCD Soundsystem
33Hz
Panic! At The Disco
Men, Women, and Children
Reggie and the Full Effect
Motion City Soundtrack (to a certain degree)
VHS or BETA
The Postal Service
Head Automatica
Action Action
Hard-Fi
Metric
Le Tigre
Zolof The Rock and Roll Destroyer
The Sun
Minus The Bear
Hellogoodbye (my guilty pleasure)

And also it's probably worth mentioning, NO THE KILLERS / THE BRAVERY.
and for my final statement, I don't need anybody coming in here telling me the bands I listen to suck or they're not the genre that I put them into because...frankly, I don't ****ing care.

here goes:

The Anix (new, but sounds kinda old)
A Certain Kind of Different (underground synthpop, from Arkansas of all places, check out their MySpace)
New Order (old school)
Joy Division (old school)
Depeche Mode (old school)
Bloc Party (eh, a few good songs...)
The Faint (Love, Love, Love these guys...)
IMA Robot (Just dance. I recommend "Black Jettas")
Vanity Beach (gothic, sounds like Orgy and NIN)
Figurine (Postal Serive goes 80's)
Chicks On Speed (just bizarre)
Subsonica (Russian techno)
Radiohead (some songs, like "Idioteque")
Namelessnumberheadman (combine Postal Service with Modest Mouse, that's what NNHM sounds like)
......

yeah, there's tons more but that's all I can think of, in the way of dance-y bands.

I'm a big Action Action fan, so it's nice to see that someone even listed them

I saw them live last year and even though I'm a hard rock fan, I loved them and bought their cd. If you want to get a taste of them, find the songs "Photograph" or "Drug Like" and then you'll know if you like them or not

Linkin Park = no. Though they do have like a DJ or whatever, I'm leaning toward a more indie / dance sound.

& yes, Action Action is amazing.

edit: FREEZEPOP wub.gif neat little band.

Death Cab...you must be thinking about The Postal Service

and I was gonna put Q and Not U but they're more of a post-hardcore outfit.

I'll check out the others though, thanks :D
