September Tour
Single - 'Romantic Rights' October 25th

Death From Above 1979 (formerly Death From Above) are set to bring their immense noise back to the UK ahead of the release of their debut single proper 'Romantic Rights'.

The Toronto two-piece officially declared war on tedium on their last visit, eaving nothing but dropped jaws, pummelled senses and bleeding ears in heir wake. Their limited edition picture disc single 'Blood On Our Hands' sold out almost immediately and appeared on Ebay straight after.
On their last 'Elephant In Your Living Tour' Death From Above 1979 made the claim that they would play anywhere, to anyone, as many times in as short a period of time as possible and promptly backed this up with some amazing shows in the most unlikely locations. The band crammed into the back of the Crobar, insulted the Queen, fought the crowd and left only to repeat the performance much later that day at Frog at Mean Fiddler. They supported the Killers when it was remarked "To say Sheffield is dazed by the two-man musical maelstrom that is Death From Above (1979) would be an understatement of criminalproportions" The Fly.

The 'Elephant In Your Living Room Tour' concluded with a show, actually in a fan's living room in suburban West Norwood.

The band are set to play a brief tour of the UK including four dates supporting My Chemical Romance. There may even be a return to the cosy environs of the Crobar, watch this space. The tour comes ahead of their forthcoming debut single proper, Romantic Rights which is due for release October 25th On 679 recordings. The single is taken from the band's debut
album 'You're A Woman, I'm A Machine' which is expected early in the new year.

Further dates for October will be announced shortly. Death from Above
