Blancmange Announce UK Tour & Tickets

Like a latter day Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid leaving their self-imposed exile, Stephen Luscombe & Neil Arthur emerge into the sunlight with a 21st Century Blancmange LP – 'Blanc Burn', due for release on 28th February 2011.

From their initial EP 'Irene & Mavis', through to their inclusion on the infamous Some Bizarre Compilation (launch pad for Depeche Mode, The The and fellow Futurama performers, Soft Cell) and to Blancmange’s eventual chart busting forays, including 'Living On The Ceiling', 'Waves', 'Blind Vision' and 'Don’t Tell Me' with London Records, Blancmange developed their sound, with their pioneering use of big fat analogue synths and a battery of wondrous Indian percussion from the equally wonderful Pandit Dinesh.
 
Currently Blancmange can be heard in everything from La Roux to LCD Sound System to Hot Chip.  Alongside their contemporaries - the Human League, Magazine, Heaven 17 and OMD - Blancmange are now being recognized as true Electro-Pop trail blazing pioneers.  Faithless recently covered the band’s dance floor classic 'Feel Me', La Roux have recently included the Blancmange B-side 'What’s Your Problem' on their 'Sidetracked' compilation with sleeve notes proclaiming “…the Blue Print for Hot Chip”.
 
Blancmange release their 10 track LP 'Blanc Burn' on February 28th 2011. The LP includes the tracks 'Drive Me', 'I'm having a Coffee', 'I'm seeing stars', 'There’s A Man (aka Ultraviolent)' and 'The Western'.
