Detroit Social Club Tour dates

• 18th Mar 2009

Detroit Social Club hit 2009 running with their second single Sunshine People, released on 30 March via the band’s own imprint Stranded Soldier, in collaboration with their new home, Fiction.

The Newcastle-based six-piece surged into public view in a fortnight in late 2008 that began with two shows in as many hours at Manchester’s In The City, and ended with a riotous headline performance at the Best of ITC show at the Camden Barfly on the day they self-released acclaimed debut single Rivers and Rainbows. In between was a tour of northern Britain, selling handmade CDs and voraciously gathering new Club members en route. Supports with Primal Scream, Futureheads and Razorlight followed. Detroit Social Club returned to the studio in early 2009 and the fruits of those sessions can be heard imminently with the release of Sunshine People and its sister track Cause And Consequence. Their debut album is currently being recorded.
