In the last few years 65daysofstatic have played over ten million shows around the world. Their blend of glitchy dance music and deafening, soaring guitars has left thousands of converts in their wake. Their most recent world tour came to an end with two shows in New York City, at two of the most prestigious venues the US has to offer - Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall. Both shows were recorded and the result is the band's first live album. A 45 minutes rush of tinnitus, contrary techno, fragile guitars, anti-social drum'n'bass in 7/4 and, if you listen carefully, the sound of 20,000 people finding rooms in their heads they never knew were there.

The DVD accompanying this release is 65DOC, a road movie captured by 65 conspirator Caspar Newbolt over the course of the North American leg of the tour. Seven weeks of 65's Cure support shows, interwoven with their own headline shows. Gasp at the audacity of a band so inarticulate that they have to be subtitled! Laugh at the blind naivety of a bad who has been on the road long enough to believe that they are doing something that hasn't been done a thousand times before! Dance to the spectacle of 65daysofstatic twisting The Cure's lightning rig into spasms of strobe and confusion! This band has always shined their brightest while live, and these recordings are the closest they have come so far to capturing that spark.
