Gossip Headline UK Tour

• 23rd Oct 2009

“Beth Ditto shows she is the right girl in the right band at the right time at Gossip's show at the Scala in London. Gossip are currently producing one of the most persuasive rock / dance hybrids ever. It is lean, crunchy, move-your-body and wave-your-fists in the air stuff.” Telegraph 4****

“Have Gossip made the leap from conquering indie heros to shiny pop machine? On tonight’s performance the answer is a definite yes. New tracks from Music For men are four to the floor gems.” 4**** London paper

“This is loud and impolite and infectious music delivered by a woman whose voice will always be far bigger than her waistline”4 **** Observer

“Dynamic Ditto sees off suspicions of unsubstantiated Gossip…. Tonight’s show reminds us that some people become famous because they deserve it.” Guardian 4 ****

Gossip return to the UK on tour in November, providing another chance to catch material from their new album ‘Music For Men’. The band's live show has garnered critical acclaim and has cemented Gossip's reputation as one of the most exciting and relevant must-see live bands.

Described as “the disco record of the year” (Uncut) and “The greatest punk rock ‘n’ roll disco soul band on the planet”(NME); Gossip have hit their prime with the release of album ‘Music For Men.’ This record marked the band’s first release of new material on Columbia Records. Produced by multi Grammy Award winner Rick Rubin and recorded at the historic Shrangri La Studios in Malibu, ‘Music For Men’ completely captures Beth Ditto’s powerful vocals and the Gossips fiery sound.
