A whole pandemic ago, when Shame released their debut album 'Songs of Praise', they were one of a clutch of bands exploring the post-punk world. The difference with Shame always felt, even down to the title of the album, that (unlike some of their musical peers) they were never going to take things too seriously, as post-...
...punk can sometimes demand.
At the turn of this year, their follow-up album, 'Drunk Tank Pink' highlighted how refusing to follow a strict set of genre rules can be liberating rather than challenging. The result was an album which, even back in January, was clearly destined to bother End of Year lists (as it now is). A triumph of the genre, it's frustrating that COVID prevented us from basking in the glow of its live presentation for so long.
Shame have spent the past few weeks on the road exploring 'Drunk Tank Pink', alongside the many prime cuts from the debut album in the live arena. As their musical juggernaut grinds to the end of it's lengthy jaunt, we suggest you head out to catch a show before the venues get even bigger on their next trip around the block.
The remaining Shame dates are shown below and tickets for all shows are on sale now:
November
23rd - The Junction, Cambridge
24th - The Ritz, Manchester
25th - Hanger 34, Liverpool
