Join us to help celebrate the 21st Anniversary of Statedancer's first electric gig, which was upstairs here at Fuel, in deepest Withington, Summer of 2004. History deemed that we had the honour of playing at the venue electrically as a four piece first, (apocryphal as that now may be, as no bugger has written that fact down.) regardless of that, we're looking forward to playing our favourite songs from each of the five albums we've released over the last 21 years, all are available on streaming and on vinyl. We will also be commemorating the night, by recording the gig and releasing it soon after to stream. Information Source: eventbrite
