2008 was been another fantastic year for rock drum n’post glitch-core protagonists 65daysofstatic. Asked personally, by long time fan and 65enthusiast Robert Smith, to undertake a World Tour in 2008, as special guests of The Cure – which saw them play venues once marked in bold on the ‘surely never’ list such as; Wembley Arena, Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks, Radio City and Madison Square Garden.
Constantly on the road since before the release of debut album ‘The Fall Of Math’ the band have steadily built a fiercely loyal fan base and have played sold out tours up and down the UK, including a glorious night at London’s Koko with Lethal Bizzle, Rolo Tomassi and Josh T Pearson in support – as well as headline shows and festivals across Europe and as far afield as Summer Sonic in Japan, South By Southwest in Austin, Texas and several headline shows in Moscow.
At the end of last year they were also invited by The Cure to remix all four tracks on their charity release, the EP Hypnagogic States – also featuring re-workings of tracks from the likes of Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), Pete Wentz & Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy), Jade Puget (AFI) and Jared Leto of 30 Seconds To Mars. Though all four tracks we’re mixed into one huge mash-up by 65days.
Influenced by the likes of Tom Waits, The Deftones, At The Drive In and New Order they produce a mix of cascading rock guitars, glitch beats and sweeping, cinematic breaks.
The band, while never chasing ‘flavour of the month’ status, have reviewed acclaim and support from the likes of; Kerrang Magazine, Plan B Magazine, The Wire, Disorder Magazine, The Sun, Drowned in Sound, Rock Sound Magazine, The Guardian, The Daily Star, Terrorizer Magazine, NME, Quietus.com, Metro, Kerrang TV, MTV, Radio 1, BBC6Music, XFM among others…..
2009 saw the band eager to take to the road, fresh with some new ideas for the next record they wanted to try out on their audiences. With a full programme of festival appearances in place, in the UK and Europe, the band decided to release their first live album, recorded in New York at Radio City and Madison Square Garden, while on tour with The Cure. Titled ‘Escape from New York’ and released in the UK in April, the band undertook a low key tour throughout the UK, to play both old and new songs.
These sold out, months in advance of the first show. European dates followed directly on and became the most successful European tour the band has done to date, with many shows in all territories selling out too.
This year also marked their first tour of Russia at the end of May, which was as mind-blowing as anything they have ever experienced, with full warehouse raves and sweaty clubs shows, where the packed shows really kicked off.
The band are also to make a return appearance at this years SummerSonic festival in Japan in August, now in it’s 10th anniversary year and with high profile UK festivals Latitude and Bestival at the end of the Summer to come, this will surely make 2009, the bands most successful year to date.
With a new studio album due in 2010, this surely has to be the decade of 65daysofstatic.
