Vancouver's iconic synth-pop group ACTORS and Brooklyn's post-punk outfit BOOTBLACKS have teamed up to release a brand new gender-bending cover of David Bowie's "Boys Keep Swinging" featuring the larger-than-life act LEATHERS. The new cross-dressing, queer-friendly music video is available to watch HERE. The song is also available via digital service providers. Listen now on Apple Music and Spotify.
Later this month, ACTORS are heading out on tour with support from Bootblacks across Europe and UK. The tour includes 27 dates that kick off next week in Glasgow, Scotland and wrap up in Warsaw, Poland in November. All dates below. Tickets are available HERE!
Jason Corbett of ACTORS comments: "It took a ton of patience the last couple of years but it’s finally happening: ACTORS return to Europe and the UK!”

MORE ON ACTORS:
ACTORS' moody, anthemic style has put them on he map, earning these words from PostPunk.com: "Vancouver’s brilliant post-punk and new-wave quartet ACTORS continue their flair for sonic cinematics... The atmosphere quivers with singer Jason Corbett’s crooning reverb augmented by shivering guitars and stark synths." Their 2021 album Acts of Worship, is an album of driving beats, massive hooks, and dramatic atmospheres – equally melancholy and electrifying, it plays like the soundtrack to an imaginary Michael Mann film.
MORE ON BOOTBLACKS:
Since the group’s founding in 2010, Brooklyn-based Bootblacks have been enthralling audiences with their frenetic live shows from North America to Europe. Their sound is described as a balance of contradictions: both pensive and buoyant, referential and modern.
