In promotion of their upcoming album, Spare Ribs, Sleaford Mods have announced the global livestream The Demise of Planet X. The virtual event will be streamed live from the Village Underground venue on January 9th.
The livestream event will take place less than a week before the release of their 6th studio album which will be available on January 15th. The Demise of Planet X follows the duo’s recent success with their first livestream event in September which was hosted in the basement of London’s 100 Club.
In a press release from Rough Trade Records, front-man Jason Williamson explains the decision to host a second livestream show, saying that after the livestream in September at the 100 Club, it was clear that the connection to the audience, although through a screen, was still as strong. We love playing. We love the songs we play. It’s never a problem to perform and after a year of not performing it’s a fucking joy to appear on your screens

The upcoming livestream will feature special previews of the songs off the upcoming Spare Ribs, as well as Sleaford Mods’ greatest hits. The concert will also include performances of their latest singles Shortcummings and the widely popular Mork N Mindy.
Sleaford Mods post-punk style gained them immense popularity throughout the UK, and their interest in politics has kept the duo relevant throughout their career. Recently the band released the music video for their hit Mork N Mindy, directed by Ben Wheatley and starring Billy Nomates, which was largely themed around the victims of the Covid-19 pandemic that has swept through the country and the world.
Rough Trade Records confirmed in a press release that Sleaford Mods’ upcoming album Spare Ribs will continue to be politically charged stating that on it, polemical frontman Jason Williamson and dexterous producer Andrew Fearn kick against the pricks with unrivaled bite, railing against hypocrisy, inequality and apathy with their inimitable, scabrous sense of humor.
Tickets are on now on sale for the livestream global event, available here. Sleaford Mods most recent singles Shortcummings and Mork N Mindy are currently available for streaming worldwide and the upcoming album Spare Ribs will be released January 15th, 2020 and is currently available for pre-order.
