SHITDISCO (www.shitdisco.co.uk) are four enigmatic characters from various parts of the UK - Berwick, Newcastle and Leeds, to name but three - who now find themselves colluding euphorically in the Scottish art-pop-rock underground. The Fierce Panda (www.fiercepanda.co.uk) crew has been stalking their progress for nigh on eleven months now and 'Disco Blood' is the band's first ever release. Released on 12” and CD formats that also include ‘I Know Kung Fu’ and a Clor remix of Disco Blood, Fierce Panda have teamed up with Shifty Disco to make the lead track available via the Download Singles Club….. well we couldn’t turn up an opportunity like this could we? The digital release is here for you now, the CD and 12” will be in all the right stores from Monday 21st November.
In their own words, "SHITDISCO are a band from Glasgow. They like the fun. They are a band of circumstance rather than style. To a man they prefer dancing to mincing. You can dance to them too if you like. Otherwise you can watch them dance while they play their music. They have previously played in abandoned railway tunnels, portacabins, boys' toilets and the odd club now and then. The band consists of two basses, one guitar, a keyboard and drums. Lyrical themes veer from intellectual violence and lateness to being too hot and Soviet gabba parties. Their music is informed by Dick Dale and Bobby Orlando and everyone in between. As long as you can dance to it."
The Disco-Fever doesn’t stop there as SHITDISCO are playing live in London next week alongside former Shifty Disco Download Club stars ESKIMO DISCO. The Club Fandango night is at the Water Rats Theatre in newly-partly-poshed-up-in-preparation-for-the-Chunnel-link-extension Kings Cross on Wednesday 23rd November. Full tour dates available at the SHITDISCO website.
