Overview
On November 13th 2010 The Selecter will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their seminal debut album, 'Too Much Pressure', by performing the whole album live at one of London's premiere venues, The Bloomsbury Ballroom.
'Too Much Pressure' released by this important and influential band in Feb 1980 remains a classic touchstone for a generation of Ska lovers and the band are excited to announce they will be playing the album in its entirety plus a selection of other much loved Selecter tracks for the first time in nearly three decades.
Mixing punk, ska and reggae, 'Too Much Pressure' successfully reflected the social and political issues of the early Thatcher years and gave a voice to disaffected youth across the racial divide.
This exclusive show will see the band fronted by the original duo of Arthur 'Gaps' Hendrickson and the female icon of the two-tone era Pauline Black. Classic hits like 'Three Minute Hero', 'Missing Words'' ' On My Radio' and of course 'Too Much Pressure' will fill the beautiful, art-deco Bloomsbury Ballroom as one of the most vital, visceral and important Ska acts ever, deliver what promises to be a stunning performance and a must see for any Two-Tone fan.
