System Exclusive are ready to ‘feel at home’ once again as their UK tour has been confirmed with a performance in Carlisle.

Pasadena, California’s dynamic duo, System Exclusive, is bringing their pulsating energy to the UK this Autumn. Following the successful release of their recent EP, ‘Party All The Time’, the pair, consisting of Ari Blaisdell and Matt Jones, will embark on an extensive tour, gracing over 23 venues nationwide.

The excitement kicks off at the highly anticipated End of the Road Festival, where Blaisdell and Jones will unleash their electrifying live set. From there, their musical journey will take them from Southampton on September 6, through London, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, and beyond.

The tour will culminate with a remarkable performance at The Royal Oak in Bath on September 30. Fans can secure their tickets now, and the full list of dates and venues can be found below.

Reflecting on their upcoming tour, Matt Jones expresses his enthusiasm, saying: “We came to play the UK last September for the first time, and we immediately felt at home. Where American audiences tend to treat us as a not-unwelcome oddity or a synthy aberration, y’all just seemed to get it. We’ve been plotting our return ever since.”

Armed with an arsenal of mini synths and Tarantino-dusted riffs, System Exclusive crafts heart-throbbing, capital P pop with a hint of post-punk. Blaisdell’s vocals capture the essence of 80s hitmakers, fearlessly wavering in the name of love. Meanwhile, Jones adds laser-gridded synth concoctions and masterful drumming to the mix, creating an explosive chemistry of sound.

Their self-titled debut album, released in 2021 through Castle Face Records, immediately caught the attention of punk legend Henry Rollins, who praised their genre-bending approach. Building on this success, System Exclusive dropped their latest EP, ‘Party All The Time,’ in April. Recorded under intense circumstances at Page Street Studios in Portland, the EP showcases three unhinged new tracks, including a captivating cover of Rick James and Eddie Murphy’s electro-funk classic.

System Exclusive’s relentless touring schedule has seen them conquer stages across the United States and various countries worldwide. Now, they are ready to captivate the UK audience with their unparalleled live performances.

Don’t miss System Exclusive as they take the stage at The Source in Carlisle on Tuesday, September 14.
