The Disco love Oxford. They performed their first live show here! Rising from the ashes of similarly monikered indie band Simian, SMD catapulted themselves to the forefront of the resurgent UK dance scene. The band's second full-length "Temporary Pleasure" is slated for release towards the end of the summer.

James Ford and James Shaw met while studying at Manchester University, but found more interest in their bedroom studio sessions. In the late 90s Shaw and Ford formed the band Simian with two others, and found some underground success with their brand of leftfield indie music. The turning point for the band came in late 2003, when underground Parisian dance act Justice gave their single "Never Be Alone" a tough club remix, released as "We Are Your Friends". As pioneers in the new rave scene, Simian Mobile Disco paved the way for bands such as Klaxons, Shitdisco, and Datarock, to purvey their brand of modern rave. Fast becoming a phenomenon, the duo went into the studio in 2006 to make their debut album on Wichita Records. The expectation of the music press was very high and Attack Decay Sustain Release did not disappoint. From the opening "Sleep Deprivation" through to the final ambient drift of "Scott", the album was more polished than the feted Klaxons. The duo has also released a number of mix compilations via Bugged Out! and Go Commando.
