During the Gossip's summer tour in 2007, the gritty dance punks descended on the U.K., where they are indie superstars. Most songs are taken from 2006's Standing in the Way of Control, the band's feverish, disco-blues boogie down. Singer Beth Ditto does a less raspy Janis Joplin as she belts out sweat-inducing renditions of "Yr Mangled Heart," "Fire with Fire" and "Standing in the Way of Control." Fans will also appreciate stripped-down covers of Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody" and Wham!'s "Careless Whisper."

Tijdens de zomertournee van The Gossip in 2007 daalden de rauwe dancepunkers neer in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar ze indiesupersterren zijn geworden. De meeste nummers zijn afkomstig van Standing in the Way of Control uit 2006, de koortsachtige discobluesboogiedown van de band. Zangeres Beth Ditto doet een minder schorre Janis Joplin-achtige versie van "Yr Mangled Heart", "Fire with Fire" en "Standing in the Way of Control". Fans zullen ook de uitgeklede covers van Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody" en Wham!'s "Careless Whisper" waarderen.
