Unfortunately The Race are having to pull out of next week's Shifty Disco Come Play With Me tour and also cancel the Reading date they were due to host. This is due to one of the band undergoing emergency surgery this week following a hospital appointment last Friday. The Race are very sorry for any inconvenience caused to their fans and full ticket refunds will be available from point of purchase. More news to follow as we know it.
Shifty have come up with another clever plan that should be alot of fun..below is the official blurb, probably best to get tickets in advance as these dates may well sell out. We shall be headlining each night and are particularly excited about making the Reading leg as special as we can muster..
Pioneering Oxford based independent label, Shifty Disco is set to have some fun this summer as its artists embark on a Come Play With Me Tour!
The artists taking part are critically acclaimed indie-rockers The Race, post-punkers My Device and indie-folk storytellers King of Spain with the cult hero’s cult hero Anton Barbeau stringing the evenings together in his loose compère / troubadour style. The tour, that takes its name and format idea from the popular TV show ‘Come Dine With Me’ comes with a bit of a twist.
The bands will take it in turns to host a show whilst the others grade them out of 10, from the pre-show promotion to the rider and of course the crowd on the night, the bands will be doing their utmost to impress each other. The whole tour will be filmed in a tongue-in-cheek, reality-show documentary style and the end result will be streamed on the Shifty Disco website at the end of the week.
