Hit sensations Gossip follow up the rightful Top Ten hit ‘Standing In The Way Of Control’ (the most played record for two weeks running on Radio One) with another anthemic and hopelessly addictive punk/soul number, ‘Listen Up!’. Taken from the gold album Standing In The Way of Control, with over 100,000 copies sold in the UK alone, Gossip have seriously arrived in 2007! These days, our glorious homegirl Beth Ditto might be making new friends with the likes of Kate Moss and Jarvis Cocker (Beth’s NME Awards duet was unforgettable), but it would be foolish to forget that Gossip will forever remain a rebel band of survivors who spread a heartfelt message of liberty and action. Listen and learn….. After the storming success of the Soulwax remix of ‘Standing In The Way of Control’, as heard on Channel 4’s Skins, ‘Listen Up!’ seriously takes things up a notch with a briliant set of mixes including a cowbell riding stormer from MSTRKRFT. Tronik Youth (London mash-up king Neil Parnell) elicits deep disco pressure and further remixes by Touché, Trevor Jackson and Punks Jump Up completing a devastating suite of banging tunes, to be released on two 7”s, CD single and Digital.Gossip return to the UK to play the festivals this summer, including headlining the John Peel stage at this year’s Glastonbury. They will also play the main stage at Reading and Leeds as well as appearances at Oxegen and Bestival.Upcoming European Dates
