McFly Finish 2009 Writing & Making Demos For Next LP
Tom Fletcher of McFly checked in with fans on their blog at MySpace on Thursday (November 5), offering an update on the pop rock band’s upcoming album. Fletcher writes:
Hope you’re all well. Sorry Not blogged much. To update you on what we’re doing, we are spending the rest of the year writing and making demos for our next album. We have written a lot of songs since ‘Radio:ACTIVE’ and started recording some of them earlier in the year in Sydney. There were a couple of songs that really stood out above the rest and in the recording sessions we realized that we’d found a new direction that we thought could be really interesting and different.

I feel a bit like Carrie Bradshaw writing an article, hehe, I can’t say it’ll have any relationship tips though, dammit! I’m looking back at photos on the internet you guys have posted on the forum!! I cannot believe we actually met Jim Carrey last night!! HOW COOL ARE WE!!! Haha!! He had grown a Santa beard especially for the occasion I think… well he looked very Christmassy let’s put it that way!! I was kind of expecting him to jump into character and start pulling all these funny faces but he played it cool so I thought we’d better too!!
We got to walk down the red carpet at The Christmas Carol premiere last night too which I LOVED doing!!! I always want to scream “Ooo I’m on the red carpet’ but I managed to hold it in!!
