Update from the road

Here we are again with another 3 shows completed on the tour & what a run of shows they were. Last Thursday we were in Norwich. Now this wasn't the best attended show on the tour but of course this one was rearranged at short notice after the previous venue shut down. Big thanks go out to the Brickmakers for putting the show on at short notice & was a decent sized crowd & a great response.

Onto Peterborough for probably the best sound on the tour so far. What an awesome system & sound engineer Les knew how to get the best out of it. This was a Fury UK highpoint I would say, an amazing gig for us at an amazing venue. We stayed on for the club night which followed on from the gig & ended up a little drunken shall we say? Peterborough city centre was "entertaining" when in full flow on a Friday night/Saturday morning & it was only manners to sample burger & chips from a van near the Travelodge for a very late supper.

Next up was Camden Underworld on Saturday. A Saturday night in Camden in itself was an ambition for this band & the anticipation plus a little nerves was certainly there for this one. We weren't disappointed & a full crowd of some 290 people plus guest list made for a hot night. We opened up early at 7.30pm but were relieved to see a packed crowd for pretty much all of our set which went fantasticly well apart from Martin busting a kick drum skin (sorry to Larry from Blaze's band for the necessity for an emergency replacement skin in the changeover). This, like Peterborough, was a highpoint with another great sound, amazing crowd response & plenty of familiar faces amongst the guests. The crowd singing "Hail!" with us in Call To Arms was inspiring. Awesome support all round for us & then Blaze & the guys of course ramped things up even tighter. So, hopefully we did our job there, warming things up nicely. After the gig we were ushered out of the venue unduly quickly but all was good as we made our way to the aftershow party down the road at the Purple Turtle. The party rocked almost as much as the gig - at least if Chris' partying was anything to go by (well done for the duck-walk Chris - Girls, Girls, Girls!). Bands, crew, family & friends all pretty tipsy into the early hours & more than one very sore head plus a little sickness next morning - salute to Sager for the most sickness we've seen for quite some time.

Thanks all for these shows. Truly a privilege to be involved.

Next up on the tour with Blaze we're at the Yorkshire House, Lancaster on Friday 5th June & Victoria Bikers Pub, Coalville on Saturday.

Hail!

Review from gig @ Trillians, Newcastle

We're delighted to have received this review :-

Mayfair Mallzine (Gig review : Trillians, Newcastle, Blaze Bayley UK Tour)

"the band are now a proper united front who truly believe in the music they create and the direction they are travelling in...."  "a sample of what to expect from the bands forthcoming album 'VR' and what better way than the title track ‘VR’.... this was sheer brilliance...." "Death By Lightning.... one of the finest pieces of metal you’ll hear"

SOS Festival : Blaze Bayley to headline

Update from the road

Can't believe it's a full 10 days since we last blogged! So much has happened & we've travelled so far in that time. Since the Mansfield show we've been to Newport & Swansea in South Wales, Weston-Super-Mare down in the south west of England, up north to Leeds & then Newcastle. Got to say although touring is generally full of highs & lows, the highs are dominating so far. We're having a bloody fantastic time, meeting new people, making new friends, especially in the south where we've not played too often before but equally at the Leeds & Newcastle shows where we've played before but now plenty of new faces.

The response has been awesome for us, we go home each night with cheesy smiles basically cos we're having such a good time & of course after each of our sets we get to rock out to Blaze Bayley's set which is quality!

To everyone at TJ's, Sin City, Hobbit's, Joseph's Well & last night at Trillians - THANK YOU!!!! Your comments & friendship at the shows, & messages afterwards are so much appreciated. YOU ROCK!!!! \m/

Next up it's :-

Thu. 28th May : Brickmakers, Norwich
Fri. 29th May : The Park, Peterborough
Sat. 30th May : Underworld, Camden

Please note the change of venue for the Norwich gig - no longer the Queen Charlotte, now the Brickmakers as above. Looking forward to all of these. It'll be a blast to play Camden on a Saturday - we've been to other venues in Camden during mid-week but a Saturday night at the Underworld is special for us.

We've added a 2nd London date on 19th June which is The Marlborough where we've been asked to headline a rock & metal festival. That's in SE London & proper details will be available very soon.

Don't forget we've also got the Bulldog Bash coming up in August, our 2nd year running there & all the more special for us as the 2 headliners for the weekend are Motorhead & UFO - long-standing heroes for us.

Hope to CYA out there at Norwich, Peterborough & Camden.

HAIL!

Tour update

We've so far been to Bury, Grimsby, Southampton, Swindon & Mansfield on the tour with Blaze bayley & we've loved every minute. The warm welcome we've received at each venue has been a pleasure to see & we've really enjoyed our playing time. And of course each time we've finished we get to kick back, grab a beer & watch Blaze's set which is awesome. We also get to meet & chat with all of you guys out there. It's been a very very cool experience so far. The travelling has been hmmm .... interesting, the motorway services taking a pounding especially with the capuccino to keep our driver's eyes open. A few 5.30 am finishes along the way but hey! .... it's rock n roll. Thanks by the way to Mansfield for the excellent participation with the "Hail!" chants in Call To Arms - awesome!

We're off to Newport on Thursday (TJ's), then Swansea on Friday (Sin City), Weston-super-Mare on Saturday (Hobbit's). Looking forward to these & have heard good things about each venue.

A reminder also that we release our latest album on Rocksector Records in July. You'll have heard a few songs from the album on the tour so far. The title track "VR" is available now for free mp3 download at the band's website : www.furyuk.com.

The album is available for pre-order now, free delivery, at the following retailers :-

Tour with Blaze .... so far so good!

We've played the first 2 nights of our 20-date tour with Blaze Bayley, in Bury & Grimsby & both gigs were awesome. We've had the best of times so far, Blaze & his band have been absolutely cool with us & with a sell-out show in Bury (c.160) & a similar number in attendance at Grimsby the house has been well & truly rocked! More please!

Next up :-

Wed. 6th May : Joiners, Southampton
Thu. 7th : The 12 Bar, Swindon
Sat 9th : The Intake Club, Mansfield

CYA out there!

Cheers!
