Run Toto Run release "Hater" single + UK tour dates

Billed as one of XFM's top 20 artists to watch in 2010, Manchester's Run Toto Run self release their new single "Hater" via download.

It comes backed by remixes from Midi Midis and the bands explicit alter-egos Dance Toto Dance.

"Hater" follows on from February's "Catch My Breath" which was the second release from the band to have XFM's playlist backing, also collecting plays at Radio 1 and 2 as well as 6 Music, Galaxy and Absolute, making Run Toto Run one of the most exciting leftfield acts to make the pop crossover this year.

Run Toto Run begin a UK tour on May 14, 2010 at the Future Everything Festival, winding up at the Secret Garden Party in July.

Having already played with the likes of Ellie Goulding, The Noisettes and Miike Snow, their live set is celebrated as an elegant, tight electo performance drawing comparisons with Passion Pit.

Run Toto Run parade what are, at their heart, very charming and warm pop songs built around vivid melodies.
