This is a FREE DOWNLOAD of the song that will end all of the Stand Up Tragedy nights. Please download it and share it with as many people as you'd like.

If you're coming to a Stand Up Tragedy night then we'd love you to sing along with this song when we sing it at the end.

http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk

Stand Up Tragedy is a new night where people get up on stage and do some tragedy: part cabaret, part variety show.

Come and let some great performers make you sad, make you think and make you smile. Sometimes they’ll be putting a new twist on what they do with brand new material tailored towards the theme. Expect music, comedy, true stories and more, all playing up to the tragic form but not taking it too seriously. The night will end, not with a whimper, not with a bang, but with a cathartic sing-a-long. And this is the song we'll be singing!!!

The Reactionaries are providing the music for the first night on Monday 6th February and will be singing this song at the end of all the other nights.

Tickets are available here: http://leicestersquaretheatre.ticketsolve.com/shows/126520120/events  use the code TRAGIC to get a discount.

This song will also be the last track of our new album "Bouncy, Poppy Songs About Death" which we're aiming to release in June/July 2012.


The Tragedy Is Over

The Reactionaries are are an alt. pop duo from East London and we are looking forward to making some NOISE.

Bringing together folk, pop, electro and punk influences and a DIY attitude The Reactionaries want to DANCE, they want to GROOVE and most of all they want to BURROW DEEP INSIDE YOUR HEADS and live there.

With manic energy, catchy hooks and offbeat subject matter The Reactionaries offer up strange and beautiful slices that will make your feet tap and your head snap.

The pair met when bouncing around with the other fruit inside a cloth bag. The bag was full of Apples For Everyone.
