Azari & III have been one of our discoveries of this year – their show at XOYO a couple of months ago was one of the best we’ve seen in the last twelve months, and their self-titled album is a deliciously slick, excess-fuelled trip through house, disco and electro-pop.
They’re returning to the UK and Ireland for a string of live dates starting at the end of October – see below:
OCTOBER
27th – Brighton, Digital
28th – Freeze Festival, London
29th – Leeds, Wax On
31st – Fabric, MEAT Gay Night, London
NOVEMBER
3rd – Bristol, Blue Mountain
4th – Liverpool, Magnet
5th – Dublin, Crawdaddy
6th – Belfast, MTV Music Awards
11th – Manchester, Sound Control
12th – Glasgow, Death Disco @ Arches
The Canadian troupe have also announced the official UK release of Azari & III. Previously available only on limited edition vinyl and import, it’s getting a proper release on 22nd January 2012, preceded by a single, ‘Reckless (With Your Love)’, which comes back with remixes by Tiga and house-via-UK-bass producer Julio Bashmore.
