THE DEFILED Added To DEATHSTARS' U.K. Tour

February 6, 2009

London, England's THE DEFILED has been confirmed as the opening act on DEATHSTARS' upcoming U.K. run. Having previously supported the likes of DRY KILL LOGIC and THE 69 EYES, the band is looking forward to touring with some more like-minded individuals.

Commented bass player Drex Exel: "We are proud to be joining DEATHSTARS and MARIONETTE on a tour that's set to break new records in the consumption of hairspray and eyeliner. We're going to be bringing a bit of London grit to our Swedish compatriots glam stylings, and its awesome to get to take THE DEFILED's dark and dirty show on a trip around the whole of the U.K. with two bands that embrace the drama in performing in the same way that I think we do. This is the first time we've got to play a lot of these towns so we're really looking forward to meeting a load of new people to party with."

THE DEFILED has been stalking U.K. music venues for the past few years, creating its unique mixture of groove-laden hardcore metal with an electronic ambience that provides a welcome separation from any band treading the boards on the British metal scene at the moment. Add to the mix that THE DEFILED is just about the most aggressive live band you'll have seen for a long time, returning to the good old days of excess that's been vacant for far too long, they promise to be a welcome addition to the touring lineup. Smashed instruments, band members in with the audience and the odd battered and bruised spectator thrown in for good measure all make up a live show that stands above and beyond the call of duty.
