After the recent four Italian dates, the Public Service Broadcasting return to Italy for a single summer date, Monday 20 July 2015 at Villa Ada in Rome. On the same evening, the C'Mon Tigre. More details on the evening here.
Public Service Broadcasting are a musical duo whose mission is "teaching the lessons of the past through the music of the future". To do so, J. Willgoose, Esq. and Wrigglesworth use audio and video samples from old public information films (educational shorts commissioned by the US and UK governments from the 1940s onwards), archive material and propaganda films accompanied by live instrumentation. The debut album "Inform - Educate - Entertain"(Test Card Recordings, 2013) debuted at number 21 in the UK charts and received rave reviews from publications such as MOJO, The Guardian and The Independent. Public Service Broadcasting are currently one of the most successful live acts in the UK: in addition to appearing at festivals such as Glastonbury, Bestival and Green Man, they have opened European tour dates for the Manic Street Preachers and acted as back-up to the Rolling Stones at British Summer Time 2013 in Hyde Park.
2015 promises to be a busy year for the duo: on 23 February, the highly anticipated new album 'The Race For Space"(Test Card Recordings), which will be presented on an extensive tour with some dates already sold out. In addition, Public Service Broadcasting will be engaged in an arena tour as opening act for the Kaiser Chiefs.
Public Service Broadcasting are J. Willgoose, Esq. (guitar, banjo, string instruments, sampling and electronic instruments) and Wrigglesworth (drums, piano and electronic instruments).
