Now.
Nostalgia is a dangerous thing. So let’s just say that touring with The Cure was an INCREDIBLE experience and thanks to them for making it happen, to the 65 fans who braved the arenas to come and shout their support in our direction and to the many, many Cure fans who had never heard of us but put up with our confused noises echoing around them. We’re looking forward to doing it all over again in America & Canada in a couple of months time.

Right now though, we are all about the brand new 65daysofstatic single. It’s coming out on the indefatigable Monotreme Records on the 7th April. You can stream it RIGHT NOW on that player above and remix it with your mouse right here: 65daysofstatic.com/danceparties. Make sure you check that out, it’s pretty cool. You can find the new single streaming on our myspace too if this website isn’t homogenised enough for ya. There are two A-Sides and both are based on ‘The Distant & Mechanised Glow of Eastern European Dance Parties’ but are major reworkings, as you can hear. Full tracklisting is as follows:

1. Dance Parties [Distant]
2. Dance Parties [Mechanised]
3. Goodbye, 2007
4. Antique Hyper Mall

You’ll be able to download ‘Goodbye, 2007′ from Monotreme’s website any day now to see what you’d be getting yourself into.
We are of course going out on our own tour in support of this release. We’ve confirmed some unfeasibly good support acts too – Gay For Johnny Depp, Errors & Pilgrim Fathers, plus Dark Captain Light Captain and another band to be confirmed for the London show. Once again we’re working hard on stepping up the live show, incorporating all kinds of newness into proceedings. The techno we’ve been dropping in the rehearsals makes us weep. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. Bring your dancing shoes in any case. Finally, we recently announced some Italian dates for this tour which we now have to reschedule. Apologies for this (it’s all about visas). We definitely want to do those shows so expect them later in the year. Dates:
