Shame rang in 2021 with the release of their latest album, Drunk Tank Pink, and they’re not wasting any time now that touring is back in the cards. The group has unveiled a 2022 North American tour to complement their previously-announced UK and European treks. What’s more, the South London punks have announced a remix EP featuring reworkings of the Drunk Tank Pink track “Born in Luton.” The full Born in Luton EP is coming out July 23rd, and as a preview, the band has shared the version remixed by Parquet Courts’ Austin Brown.
Brown’s remix of “Born in Luton” is backed by a fat, distorted bassline and a beat that’s bound to fit seamlessly into club mixes. “They’re gonna have to reopen the Hacienda for this one,” Brown said in a press release. “Inspired by Ron Hardy’s Chicago Music Box and Belgian New Beat, this is one for the promo bin to all your fav DJs for their online radio streams and 2 a.m. playlist slots on CDJs worldwide for COVID-free club summer.” The rest of the EP includes remixes from Pelada, black midi’s DJ Dairy, PVA, and Glows.
Shame’s upcoming world tour will see them make appearances at a slew of summer festivals before headlining a UK leg this fall. February will find them in North America for the first time since 2019, with 25 stops in the midwest, south, Canada, and east and west coasts. But by the end of March they’ll fly back across the Atlantic for a trek across continental Europe.
Tickets for the US leg go on sale Thursday at 12:00 p.m. local time. Book your seat through Ticketmaster or keep an eye on the secondary market here. Take a look at their schedule and listen to Brown’s remix of “Born in Luton” below.
