Fri 26th Shifty Disco presents shiftydisco10 A 10th Anniversary celebration THE RACE + My Device + Paperlung + Seagull Strange
Doors 7.30 The long road to the Shifty Disco 10th Anniversary started sometime in the middle of 1996 with an urge to promote Oxford-based artists throughout 1997 to coincide with Radio 1's Sound City event being hosted in the city that had been punching above its musical weight through the first half of that decade (Ride, Radiohead, Supergrass, etc...) And this evening we celebrate the new breed: The Race's debut album "Be Your Alibi" was released in September 2006, with the "When It Falls" single following on November 13th. ‘Forget Razorlight and their "All my life/I've wanted to shift units in America" empty gestures, The Race are the real winners in the anthemic indie stakes.’ Nathaniel Cramp, NME. My Device's album release plans were ticking over quite nicely until, wham! bam!, in September 2006 they were announced as winners of NME.com's Breaking Bands competition. The album, "Nervous System", was rushed into the shops and the single "I Was Brave Today" serviced to radio and TV. “You can tell they’re a band who love distortion pedals and bending weird sounds out of their guitars. They’re not a virtuoso band, which is cool, because rock’n’roll shouldn’t be about that, it should be about heart and passion and ideas and romance” [James Jam, NME] Paperlung, fronted by ex-Boo Radley Sice, dropped their debut single in April 2006 and will be following it up with the double A-side "Do What Thou Will" / "Where Were You Then?" on 15th January 2007. Their debut album will follow in the Spring. Seagull Strange were a one-piece when they released their debut "Animals" EP in 2005 but they've since upgraded to 6 members with their live shows and recordings expanding as you'd expect. The bands debut album, "Better Angels Of Our Nature", will be released on 29th January 2007. The Unisex are currently on tour in France and Germany in support of their "White Days" album - released in the UK in 2005, but only coming available across the rest of Europe this year. December will see the band putting the finishing touches to the follow-up, scheduled for release in the Autumn of 2007.
