Euro Tour for DC Fontana by admin, 07/01/09 15:47:32

DC central is delighted to announce details of a forthcoming mini Euro tour next month.

The band will be setting up stall in both France and Italy as part of their summer gigging schedule ahead of the release of the debut album “Six Against Eight.”

The gigs include a headline slot at this year’s Right Track On The Beach mod weekender at Terracina, Italy.

Other gigs include shows in Paris, Toulon and Lyon in France and a whistle-stop visit to the beautiful hills of Chianti country in Italy.

The mod weekender show takes place on Friday July 10 literally on the beach in the popular Italian resort south of Rome in Latina (Lazio).

The event, which runs all weekend, also features a clutch of respected DJs from across Europe including Alessandro Detassis (Sweden), Alvaro & Mocky Dimples (Spain), DJ Amma (England) and Mikey Collins (Scotland).

The night before Terracina the DCs are at Mods Lounge in Montevarchi in the Chianti area of central Italy.

DC Fontana head back into France to plat at Toi Toi Le Zinc in Lyon with Acid Jazz act Mr. Day and the Soulcialist DJ team on Monday July 13, which is a Bank Holiday in France.

The following night the band heads south again to the French Riviera where they play another show directly on the beach. This time the gig will be outside the venue La Vague in the Mediterranean resort of Six-Fours-Les-Plages which is close to Toulon.

The DCs return to one of their favourite cities when they head north to play the French capital, Paris, on Thuesday July 16.

On this occasion the DCs will be live at La Dame de Canton, a fascinating venue for a live show as the club is in fact an authentic Chinese junk sailing ship which is moored on the River Seine!

The ship has criss-crossed the oceans and has visited more than 40 different countries in the past 10 years but is now moored atPorte de la Gare close to the Bibilotheque (nearest Metro@ Quai de la Gare).
