The Presets announce tour

Ahead of their much-anticipated second album and new single 'My People', Australia's The Presets have announced a UK & Ireland tour for March 2008.

To the uninitiated The Presets are Julian Hamilton and Kimberley Moyes, Aussie wizards of demented electro pop.

While the guys may have been a little quiet on the studio side of things, as a live concern they've sharpened their collective tools to become one of the most in-demand live acts in the world - with almost 300 shows across 20 countries in the past 18 months alone.

From playing to clubs kids in Barcelona, New York and Istanbul, then thousands of S&M leather daddies at the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco, to over one hundred thousand people at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and every imaginable key festival in-between, Julian and Kim have covered almost every corner of the globe with their take no prisoners live show.
