Bad Touch reschedule UK tour again & premiere video for Kiki Dee cover
They're now hitting the road in April 2021
Norfolk rockers Bad Touch have rescheduled their Kiss The Sky UK tour with Piston a second time because of the ongoing situation with the coronavirus pandemic.
Shortly before the original dates were due to kick off in March and April, Bad Touch rearranged the shows for September through to December.
Bad Touch have today (18th June) confirmed that the UK tour will now take place in April 2021, explaining: “While we are sorry to move the tour dates a second time, the health and safety of our fans is important to us.
“We are looking forward to seeing all of you on one of the new dates and to rock out together once again.”
The lengthy 15-date trek opens at The Waterfront Studio in their native Norwich on Wednesday 7th April and concludes at Buckley The Tivoli on Friday 23rd April 2021. Piston are once again special guests at all shows.
Kiki Dee cover
Alongside the tour announcement, Bad Touch have premiered the video for their cover of The Kiki Dee Band’s ‘I’ve Got The Music In Me’, which was a Top 20 hit when it was released in 1974.
‘I’ve Got The Music In Me’ appears on Bad Touch’s brand new studio album ‘Kiss The Sky’, which is released tomorrow (Friday 19th June) via Marshall Records. The album is available to buy on CD, white vinyl, and digital download formats RIGHT HERE.
Bad Touch say of ‘I’ve Got The Music In Me’: “That’s right we’ve got a cover on our album. What? It’s a banger! We took what Kiki Dee was going for, and we amped it up, threw it in the dirt and gave it a whole lot more sex.
“I challenge anyone to listen to our version of this great song and not be smiling from ear to ear. They’ll be screaming the chorus to the heavens by the end!”
‘Kiss The Sky’ was recorded, produced and mixed by Nick Brine at the fabled Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales before being mixed at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios in London.
“We’re so excited about this recording,” enthuses voluminously haired singer Stevie Westwood.
“Just to record our songs in such a legendary place as Rockfield was a real buzz. I know it’s a cliché but, in our humble opinion, this is our most exciting recording to date, and we can’t wait to get it out there in front of a crowd.”
