Skinner Flyer Electric Circus

Don’t forget, we hit the stage again in just under two weeks time when we’ll be supporting former Hipsway singer Grahame Skinner at Electric Circus in Edinburgh. Hipsway of course came to promience during the eighties and are remembered for tracks such as ‘The Honeythief’, ‘The Broken Years’ and ‘Ask The Lord’. Grahame is undertaking a mini Scottish tour with his new band and will be performing songs from throughout his entire career, including Hipsway of course, plus other bands such as Cowboy Mouth.

The gig takes place on Friday 17th February at Electric Circus in Market Street. Tickets are available now priced £12.50 (in advance, STBF) from Ripping Records, Tickets Scotland and also online at Ticketweb. You can also visit the Facebook Event page for the gig here.

We’ve got a different set planned for this one, so it’s definitely worth coming along if you can. Doors open at 7.00PM, we’re not sure yet when we’ll on stage and for how long but as soon as we have more information, we’ll let you know!

Just a quick update about our forthcoming support slot with Steve Strange and his new band Detroit Starrzz on February 3rd. It looks like we’re going to be able to play a longer than usual 1 hour set for this one, so we’re putting together a special setlist focusing on the new wave genre with which Steve is so closely associated. We’re also planning to premiere a new track that will be particularly appropriate to the occasion, which we’re working on right now and are quite excited about!

As you can see from the newly hot off the press flyers, pictured above, tickets are now also on sale at Tickets Scotland and Ripping Records as well as online at We Got Tickets, £9 in advance (subject to booking fee) or £12 on the door.

We’re really looking forward to sharing a stage with Steve who played such a pivotal role establishing the scene which inspired most, if not all, of the music that PF3 play today. Hope to see lots of you there as well.

Party Fears Three are very excited to announce that we will be supporting Detroit Starrzz, the new electro / synth pop project from Visage frontman and Blitz Club legend Steve Strange on Friday 3rd February 2012 at The Citrus Club in Edinburgh.

This gig represents an exciting milestone for us as it will be the first time we will supporting an artist whose material we have also covered ourselves (some of you may recall we performed the 1982 Visage hit ‘The Damned Don’t Cry’ at some of our earlier gigs) and whilst Steve will be taking the opportunity to showcase new material from Detroit Starrzz’s forthcoming debut album (tipped by Music Week as an act to look out for in 2012), we are assured that the Visage classics will also feature in what promises to be a memorable show for all fans of classic electronic pop.

Tickets are available now exclusively at We Got Tickets priced at £9.00 (subject to booking fee). Ticket also includes free entry to the Planet Earth club night which follows immediately after the gig.

Happy Holidays

December 24th, 2011

Just a quick message to wish all our fans a very happy Christmas and New Year and to thank you for all your support this year! Of course, it’s not quite over for us yet as we still have our support slot with Dirty Harry at The Liquid Room coming up on Thursday 29th December. We’ll be playing a 45 minute set which as far as we understand it means we we’ll be going on stage no later than 7.45PM, so don’t be late if you’re coming along and remember to buy your tickets in advance from the usual outlets if you can, as even with a booking fee, you’ll save at least a couple of quid on the door price. Also don’t forget the after show party which takes place at The Citrus Club (hold onto your Dirty Harry ticket to make sure you get in for the discounted price of £3).

As for 2012, it’s already shaping up to be our busiest year yet. As you know, we’re already confirmed to play both of the two main UK tribute festivals next year – Glastonbudget in June followed by TribFest in August. On top of that, we have some more interesting support slots in the pipeline for early in the new year which we hope to be able to confirm very soon. And of course, we’re looking at arranging more headlining shows as well. All in all, things are looking very exciting for the band and we would like to thank eveyone again for their support  – we really appreciate it!

All the best and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Mike, Don and Steve.
