They were formed in 2003 while studying at the Glasgow School of Art. They describe themselves as "disco-house/punk" although they have been closely tied to the Nu Rave movement alongside bands such as Klaxons. The band split up in 2009. Members of the band still play DJ sets at various venues regularly and two members have gone on to form a new band called Age Of Consent

Their first single "Disco Blood/I Know Kung Fu" was released in December 2005 and was followed almost a year later by "Reactor Party." They released their long awaited debut album "Kingdom of Fear" on the 16th April 2007 on Fierce Panda Records (UK) and on July 3rd, 2007 on Fierce Panda Canada. Their third single "OK" hit shops on the 23rd April 2008.

Until they were evicted in spring 2006, the band held free parties in a large dilapidated house on Glasgow's West Princes Street, known locally as '61'. They have attracted a reputation for organising and playing free parties and raves in peculiar places; including squats, streets, abandoned railway tunnels and club toilets.

The group have been compared to Talking Heads and The Rapture, but admit influences ranging from Donna Summer and Arthur Russell to Gang of Four and The Clash.

Shitdisco Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Donna Summer got her in my thighs, I got her in my thighs
I got Kelly Marie
She's sittig on my knees, she's making me dance.
Giorgio Moroder got him on the phone, I got him on the phone,
Bobby Orlando's coming round for tea, he's coming round for tea
Round for tea!

Got the disco feeling,

Got it on my mind,
Got in my blood
In my blood!

Dnosaur L, material & the flirts coming round
Bobby Orlando's coming round for tea, he's caming round fort tea
Round for tea!

Got that disco feeling,
Got in my mind,
Got in my blood
In my blood x4

Disco-oooo
Disco-oooo
Disco-oooo

I got that disco feeling on my mind,
got in my blood
I got that disco feeling on my mind,

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shitdisco's "Disco Blood" suggest an intense love for disco music that has penetrated the singer's entire being. They reference a number of disco icons, including Donna Summer, Kelly Marie, Giorgio Moroder, and Bobby Orlando. The opening line, "Donna Summer got her in my thighs," is likely a reference to Summer's famous disco hit "Love to Love You Baby," which was known for both its sensuality and its infectious beat. The line "Giorgio Moroder got him on the phone" similarly suggests a deep admiration for the famed Italian record producer and songwriter. The repeated phrase "Got the disco feeling, got it on my mind, got in my blood" reinforces the idea that the singer has been completely consumed by their love for disco music.

The imagery in the lyrics also suggests a strong physicality, with Kelly Marie "sitting on my knees, she's making me dance." This suggests that the music is not just something the singer listens to, but something they embody physically. The line "Disco-oooo" repeated throughout the song could be interpreted as a vocalization of this physical experience of dancing and feeling the beat.

Overall, "Disco Blood" celebrates the joy and passion of disco music, and suggests that it has become an integral part of the singer's identity.
