SHITDISCO

Glasgow based Shitdisco was formed in 2005 by bassist Joel Stone, singer/guitarist Joe Reeves, keyboard player Jan Lee and drummer Darren Cullen. The four friends met each other through their studies at the Glasgow School of Art and build up a good reputation for throwing and playing free parties. Until they were evicted in 2006, the band held free parties in a large dilapidated house on Glasgow's West Princes Street.

Their dance punk / new rave is often compared to the music of Klaxons, Talking Heads and The Rapture. The members of Shitdisco however say their main influences are Donna Summer, Arthur Russel, The Prodigy, Gang of Four and The Clash.

Shitdisco's debut single 'Disco Blood' was released in 2005 on the Fierce Panda label, followed up by 'Reactor Party' in 2006. Their debut album 'Kingdom Of Fear' hit the stores in 2007.
