Following an incredible breakthrough year, Two Door Cinema Club are set to start 2011 with the release of their new single ‘What You Know’ on 7th February.
Since releasing ‘Tourist History’ in March 2010, the band has gone from strength to strength, selling out big headline tours in the UK, US and Europe, playing two successive sold out nights at Shepherd's Bush Empire, and achieving silver status for the record in the UK and gold in Ireland. They return to the UK in March to play their biggest shows yet – London's Roundhouse (that sold out in less than 24 hours), two nights at Dublin's Olympia and what was originally a show at Glasgow's ABC, has since been upgraded to Barrowlands. Details of live shows below.
Alex, Sam and Kev shot the new video for 'What You Know' in Barcelona with acclaimed film makers CANADA, who's recent works include El Guincho's video for 'Bombay' and Scissor Sisters most recent single 'Invisible Light'.
Moving up to the B-list at Radio 1 this week, ‘What You Know’ is another riff-heavy flash of quirky pop brilliance, fizzing with understated danceability and a gloriously life-affirming electro-pop chorus. The track has been mixed for radio by Mike Crossey, who has previously worked with Arctic Monkeys, Foals and Blood Red Shoes. It follows the band’s recent single ‘I Can Talk’, which has attracted nearly 2.5 million YouTube plays and features on the new soundtrack to ‘Fifa ‘11’ on the PlayStation and Xbox.
