Hail!!!!, an update from us....
.... we've experienced a few delays with artwork & stuff, so the release date for the new album has been pushed back to 8th June at the earliest. Not what we wanted to do but it's got to be right, that's most important. Sorry for the delay, we'll keep you posted on progress.
Meanwhile, our shows so far since getting back on the road have been rewarding to say the least. The highpoints for us have been first of all the number of people taking the trouble to travel to gigs - in some cases quite a distance - times are hard at the moment we're told (credit crucnh & all that) so when people make an effort it's particularly appreciated. Secondly, as you'll probably realise we've been previewing songs from the new album in our live set & the feedback has been fantastic. That means a lot 'cause let's face it, when you put new stuff out there, you never know for sure how it's going to go down. Brilliant response anyhow & we're delighted with that.
Big big thanks to all those of you who've been to our 9 shows in March so far. Just one to go, this Friday at the Brewery Tap in Bradford, then 2 weeks break before we hit the Yardbirds Club, Grimsby on Friday 10th April. Looking forward to that. A couple of us went to see our label-mates 4Bitten at Yardbirds, with Angel House, a week or so ago & it was a very cool place so we can't wait. We're told that Sacred Mother Tongue are also playing the night we're there & we've heard good things about them so hopefully all shaping up for an awesome night.
We'll be keeping in touch more often on here again now we're up & running on the road.
CYA soon!
Cheers!

1st Week Back on The Road: 27th Feb - 14th Mar
Well we've been back on the road constantly this past week or so, and we couldn't have a better one. Our first show of our year started with a nice lil warm-up gig at "Old Isaccs" in Atherton, where we met up with some of our old friends from Blackpool, thanks again for comin' down you guys, may the force be with you!
A couple of nights after we travelled down to Shrewsbury to "The Yorkshire House". Nice artwork on the walls here - you can see Eddie from Iron Maiden and Megadeth all over the place - cool!
Next, we played a venue in Manchester close to our heart - "Grand Central". We always love playing there but especially enjoyable this time as a erm... young lady dancing decided to strip some clothes off. :D. I must say i struggled to concentrate on the gig while that happening ;)
After a solid and entertaining night at Grand Central, the night after we headed over to the "Seven Stars" which in Wrexham North Wales. We had a great one there too, fans from Oswestry turned up & we were very happy to see them again. Also, our excellent label-mates Decadenze turned up to see us & a good time was had by all.
Next night, we were off to Doncaster, always a happy place for us - "The Hallcross Rock Bar". Have never been disappointed there. Thanks to Annete & Bo for looking after the sound for us, the party aferwards was a bit crazy & breakfast as always was immense!
Finally, we had a week off to stop our fingers from bleeding and relaxed a bit. Then on Saturday 13th March we played "The White Hart" in Burnley. Again another great little Rock venue. Again we got some visitors - our friends Alan & Linda, & also friends from Blackpool Pat & Kay and all their crew travelled over.
So that's a little account of our March shows so far. More to come.
We'll CYA soon.
Thanks.

Back on the Road & Lovin It
Last night we had our first gig in 2 months, and I must say I have missed being on the never ending road of touring! We were in Atherton last night for a lovely lil warm-up gig to get us going which turned out to be a great show for us.
Our next show is this tuesday in Shrewsbury when we play The Yorkshire House. Hopefully see some of u guys there.
We've got plenty of gigs in March & April, all building up to the beginning of May when we start our tour with Blaze Bayley, at the Hark 2 Towler in Bury, a great rock venue. It's a 20 date tour with ex Iron Maiden vocalist Blaze, so make sure u get urselfs down to some of these shows, it's gonna b amazing!
Cheers

Back on the road / Getting ready for Blaze
After taking January & February off to record a new album "VR", Fury UK is back on the road in March & April, previewing some material from the album (release date 5th May) & warming up for the UK tour with former Iron Maiden frontman Blaze Bayley.
The band has just started discussions for a debut video, to help promote the "VR" album, & the website & MySpace have both been revamped, to match the theme of the awesome album artwork done for us by Mark Wilkinson, who has worked before with the likes of Judas Priest & Marillion. Here's also the March & April dates. We're looking forward to seeing you out there.

Fury UK "VR" : album update / website redesign
Hi all, can't believe it's about a month since we last blogged!
The album's recorded & mixed, ready for mastering. We're pretty excited about everything & of course hope all you guys out there are going to like it as much as we do.
Release date for the album is 5th May, nicely timed for the start of our UK tour with Blaze Bayley on 2nd May.
The front cover artwork design for the new album has been done by a guy called Mark Wilkinson. He's done an amazing job for us & the band's website has been given an overhaul & now all fits the "VR" design. Previously Mark's worked with bands such as Judas Priest & Marillion, quality! Take a look at our website, see what yer reckon?!
www.furyuk.com
As we said we're pretty cranked about the album & tour dates. We reckon we've achieved the main objective which was to record an album which gives a more accurate idea of what the band is like playing live. The album will be available at all the usual hotspots including the almost world-dominant HMV, plus independent stores, plus online at HMV.com, Amazon.co.uk, Play.com. We'll let you know when pre-orders are available.
Thanks everyone. More news soon.
Cheers,

Studio update : new album "VR"
Hi everyone. Incredibly this is the first chance we've been able to grab to update you on our progress in the studio. We started recording "VR" on 2nd January & apart from the occasional & customary technical glitch, we've successfully recorded the majority of parts for the 10 tracks.
We go back to the studio this coming week for around 4 days to hopefully complete our work then all will be ready for mixing & mastering. We're excited about the way the new songs developed in the studio & can't wait to get things properly ready for our planned release date at the beginning of May, hopefully more or less in time for the start of UK tour with Blaze Bayley.
It's strange to have no gigs currently but that's exactly as we planned it & we're enjoying the rest & just a few beers ;) Chris was seen last night at a couple of our favourite haunts (Grand Central & Hark To Towler) & we hear made a FULL night of it! Well done, mate!
More news soon.
Cheers!
