MY DISCO is an Australian band formed in 2003.
Formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 2003, their first public appearance was performed at The Good Morning Captain, a cafe in Collingwood, a suburb of Melbourne. My Disco became known for their use of unconventional venues, having organized performances on side-walks, in art galleries, and warehouses alike.
November 2003 saw the release of their debut 7" and marked their first Australian tour. The band soon became renowned for their arduous tour ethic, demonstrated in extensive tours of remote areas of Australia, Southeast Asia, and Mexico.
In 2004, Liam Andrews was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. Although the band continued with the occasional show, Andrews' illness forced the band into hiatus. International tours to Southeast Asia, New Zealand and an extensive two months in North America followed soon after Andrews recovered.
Their debut album Cancer was released in late 2006, touring the album to the United States, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, as well as appearing at the Meredith Music Festival in Victoria.
In October 2007, the band recorded their second album, entitled Paradise, at Electrical Audio with Steve Albini of Shellac.
During their world tour in 2009, two bags were stolen in Toronto, one containing a passport belonging to Liam Andrews, this had implications for shows in the United States. Evan Patterson from Louisville band Young Widows replaced Liam Andrews on bass for a number of US shows. The pre-existing passports were donated to the "All Your Bass Fund"
