Innerpartysystem return to the UK + new single!

| On 03, Nov 2010

 

Electronic three-piece Innerpartysystem is set to return to the UK for an extra special one-off live performance headlining Madame JoJo’s in London on 20th January, 2011. 50 copies of a very limited-edition ‘American Trash’ 7” will be given out for free at the show to those who get through the doors first so get there early!

‘American Trash’ will be officially released in the UK on 7th February, following the band’s live show and the tracklisting with bonus remixes will be as follows –

1.   American Trash  |  2.   Adam Freeland remix  |  3.   Starkey remix  |  4.   Newsfeed remix  |  5.   Bottom of the Barrel remix

 

The band have recently completed a tour in their native US with Does It Offend You, Yeah? And Kele of Bloc Party fame. Innerpartysystem’s previous trips to the UK have included a sold-out headline tour and performances at the likes of Wireless festival, Camden Crawl and Milton Keynes Bowl with Linkin Park and Pendulum. Fans and critics alike were wowed by the intense experience that is Innerpartysystem’s live show.

Innerpartysystem are currently working on an EP for release early 2011 with an album to follow later in the year, having released their eponymous debut on Island DefJam in 2009. The band subsequently parted ways with the label following the departure of their A&R man. Their unwavering resolve to create their own music and remix other well-known artists such as Katy Perry, 3Oh!3 and 30 Seconds To Mars led to the recently set up Red Bull Records swooping down and snapping up Innerpartysystem. Jared from the band clearly thinks Red Bull is a great fit for Innerpartysystem – “It’s much less a label, rather than a group of friends that are all helping to push this project forward. Really, they hang out with us after shows, we exchange ridiculous email chains and geek out about futuristic lighting ideas that aren’t even possible yet. It’s everything we could’ve asked for in a label, plus the added bonus of making new great friends.”

Unsurprisingly, the band are more than ready to get their new material out there. As Jared says – “I’m very excited and very confident about our new material. Like with most things, you get better with time and practice, and I feel this next collection of songs that are going to come out are a more mature, more thought out, version of the IPS you have come to know. It’s definitely still IPS, no drastic changes, it’s not like we started rapping or anything. But it is a bit different as well, it’s a little less rock influenced, but not less heavy. We kind of traded in chugging guitars for grimey thick basses.”

The origins of Innerpartysystem – Patrick Nissley (vocals), Jared Piccone (drums), and Kris Barman (synth, guitar) – can be traced to 2002, when Jared and Patrick attended school together in Reading, PA. The duo started writing songs together, inspired by both their love of electronic music (The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Nine Inch Nails) and hardcore punk. Kris later joined the fray and, although the intensity of the band’s music has been unwavering, the group began to experiment with dance music and soon saw its style begin to morph, becoming more digitally based.
