If hell's feeling a mite chilly today and you swear your swine are jumping a little higher than usual, well, know that Sally Shapiro, elusive disco chanteuse known to eschew her public, has just announced her very first live appearances. You read that correctly: Sally Shapiro is touring.
With young dreamers around the globe afflicted with a bad case of Disco Romance, Shapiro and producer Johan Agebjörn have agreed to spend this winter with but a few extraordinarily lucky North American cities. Their tiny but oh-so-welcome DJ tour kicks off March 4 in Toronto and wraps a couple gigs later in Chicago. Is this DJ jaunt a baby step toward a full-blown Shapiro stage show? That, my friends, remains to be seen.
And that's hardly all that's astir in camp Shapiro of late. In addition to Agebjörn's previously reported "Spacer Woman From Mars" 12", Sally Shapiro has another twelve in the works. "Jackie Jackie (Spend This Winter With Me)" lands overseas in February via Permanent Vacation, with a North American release to follow in April. In addition to "Jackie" (a Nixon cover taken from the North American edition of Disco Romance), the single includes another ace Shapiro track and two remixes-- including an offering from the one and only Junior Boys.
The Junior Boys remix will in fact appear on a forthcoming album of such reworkings titled Remix Romance. Paper Bag Records plans to unleash Remix this spring, and Lindstrøm is also expected to partake.
Finally, let's not forget that Sally is up for a couple PLUG Awards. You know what to do.
"Jackie Jackie (Spend This Winter With Me)":
A1 Jackie Jackie (Spend This Winter With Me)
A2 Skating in the Moonshine
B1 Jackie Junior (Junior Boys Dub)
B2 Jackie Jackie (Dyylan's Subzero Nocturne)

02-02 Helsinki, Finland - SimCity 2000 @ Nolla (Johan Agebjörn only)
03-04 Toronto, Ontario - Wrongbar
03-07 New York, NY - Mercury Lounge
