We’ve sold all our tickets to the 8pm Disco Bunker show. But don’t fret. We’ve decided to add a 10pm show, which you can book tickets for now. Above the 10pm show is a listing for the 8pm show, which reads SOLD OUT. I am enjoying that a little more than I probably should.

I’m really excited. You’re coming, right?

Here’s the dodgy press release I knocked up in an exhausted post-early-morning start for my RTRFM breakfast interview today.

Tomas Ford’s Disco Bunker
8pm SOLD OUT!!! 10pm Show JUST ADDED!!

Tomas Ford expected his Disco Bunker show to be successful within his electro-disco niche in Perth, but he didn’t quite expect the reaction it’s had. Everyone in town, it would appear, is coming.

When the show sold out in presale over the weekend, he was assaulted with emails and facebook messages stressing out about tickets. But fret not. A 10pm show has been added to the night.

If you’re wondering what you can expect from the show, Ford says “I’ve got some amazing new costuming, there’s new video work that’s coming together really well and I’ve designed the show around the room because it’s a very unusual space, so it’ll be a unique experience. I don’t do theatre shows very often at the moment, but they’re great fun for the audience and I find they have a different kind of intensity to them that you don’t get in a pub or festival show.”

Ford’s shows mix up of electro-disco, cabaret and playing with the audience. You might have seen him twisting the minds of audiences at Southbound and Laneway Festivals this year, or in one of his myriad local pub shows. He’s built an audience around the country through touring on his own, well received seasons at Fringe Festivals, as support for Birds Of Tokyo and as part of Big Day Out’s insane Lilyworld lineup.

Despite all this activity, he’s more excited about these shows than anything else he’s done. “In a theatre I have a lot more control over what happens in the room; there’s no distractions. People are really buzzing about this show too, so it’s going to be a great atmosphere to play in anyway, and then I’ll come out and add layers of insane fun to it.”

Tickets for the new show are $20 and are available from Heatseeker.com.au, Planet Video and Mills Records, or there will be limited door sales available on the night. More information is available at http://tomasford.com .
