Ticket and sale details will be revealed soon. In the meantime, Thai fans can follow local promoter Medium Rare Live, who hasย hinted the band’s visitย earlier this month, forย the latest updates.
Previously known as Starfucker andย Pyramiddd, STRFKR are Shawn Glassford, Keil Corcoran, and Joshua Hodges, who started STRFKR in 2007 as a solo project. They’re known for “Sazed”, “While I’m Alive” andย “Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second”, a song that raked in their mainstream success, largely due to Target’s sampling of it for a commercial in 2009.
