MEN Announce New Single And UK Tour
Following on from the success of their debut single ‘Credit Card Babies’, Brooklyn based art/performance collective MEN are set to release their second single ‘Off Our Backs’ on 1st November on IAMSOUND Records.
The group began in 2007 with the DJ/production/remix team of Le Tigre members JD Samson and Johanna Fateman. With Le Tigre on hiatus, when the duo began to write new songs, it made sense to merge their efforts with JD's other new project Hirsuite. JD and Hirsute members Michael and Ginger now comprise the core of MEN, with Johanna and artist Emily Roysdon contributing as writers, consultants and producers.
‘Off Our Backs’ is an addictive slice of electro brilliance: a sure-fire, 21st Century pop anthem, with a soar-away chorus (“I’m/A tease/For nothing you can’t see”) and instantly memorable melody.
The band will head out on a U.K. tour to coincide with the single release which will be calling at the following venues:
28th Oct – Sneaky Petes, Edinburgh
29th Oct – Captains Rest, Glasgow
30th Oct – Stealth, Nottingham
2nd Nov – Buffalo Bar, Cardiff
3rd Nov – Brudenell Social Club, Leeds
4th Nov – Prince Albert, Brighton
5th Nov – It’s In Our Blood @ Electrowerks, London
6th Nov – Club Brenda @ Kraak Gallery, Manchester
11th Nov – Thekla, Bristol
13th Nov – Ladyfest @ Garage, London
‘Off Our Backs’ is released on 1st November on 7” vinyl/digital download. The debut album ‘Talk About Body’ is due for release in early 2011.
