Ian Schranz, (born March 9, 1977) best known by the stage name Bark Bark Disco, is a Maltese indie musician. Schranz first began his career as the drummer of the band Beangrowers before establishing himself as a solo artist.
Bark Bark Disco released a demo single under the name Bark Bark Disco called "Song for the Lovers"[1] which was a tribute to 1970s adult actress Brigitte Lahaie, and was taken from Erwin Dietrich's film Six Swedish Girls in a Boarding School. It received half a million views on YouTube in two weeks. Following this, organisers asked him to play a solo show opening for Bonnie Prince Billy in a masonic cemetery in Valletta.
Bark Bark Disco has collaborated extensively with other artists such as JOON, Andre Herman Dune aka Stanley Brinks, Johnny Jewel and Jeffrey Lewis among others.
