See below for itinerary."Beth Ditto is a force-of-nature performer best known for fronting the pop-punk group Gossip," said NPR, which put "Fire" on its list of "10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing." Idolator hailed "Fire" as"one hell of song," PAPER called it "perfect for the summer vibes we are all craving" and Noisey said, "It's Ditto at her bluesy, garage-y best."View the official video for "Fire" HERE and check out the Disciples remix HERE.Bust Magazine observed, "Fake Sugar is her debut album as a solo artist, but there's nothing fake about it...She embraces Southern rock on 'Fire' and "Oo La La'...belts it out on '80s-inspired power ballads 'Oh My God' and 'We Could Run,' and brings it home on the romantic 'Love in Real Life.'" Stereogum noted, "'Oo La La' plays like a updated, processed, laser-focused version of an old-school blues-rock growler. It has a synthetic sheen all over it, but the way Ditto delivers the word "bonecrusher" is about as nasty as it gets." In addition to releasing six acclaimed albums with the Gossip, Ditto has recorded with such artists as Blondie and disco legend Cerrone, collaborated with Jean Paul Gaultier on her eponymous plus-sized luxury clothing line, modeled for Marc Jacobs and appeared in Tom Ford's Oscar-nominated film, Nocturnal Animals.Beth Ditto - North American Tour Dates6/10 - Columbus, OH @ CD102.5 Summer Kick-Off6/13 - Dallas, TX @ KXT 91.7 Sun Sets7/12 - Washington, DC @ U Street Music Hall
