Hadouken! MySpace UK Kit-Kat Pop-Up Gig

Footage from the Hadouken! MySpace UK Kit-Kat pop-up show in Brighton, England at Coalition Club on September 10th has been posted online.

In addition to the live set, frontman James Smith and synth player Alice Spooner spoke about a few topics. “A really good live show is a combination of really good crowd, really good venue, you need a nice loud system and it needs to be the right time where everyone’s up for a good party,” James explained.

Alice added, “Live we bring that rockier edge with guitars, we have them higher in the mix. We like to bring because rock music is the best.”

As for MySpace, she said, “We do owe where we are now to MySpace, I think we can safely say that. We certainly never would have gotten signed or never had people at our shows singing the words if MySpace didn’t exist.”

The 39-minute set and a highlight clip with an accompanying interview with the band and their fans have since been removed at MySpace.

Hadouken! Gear Up For Touring

Hadouken! updated fans on their blog at MySpace (@hadouken) on Wednesday (June 24), talking about being back on the road after finishing work on their new album. The Leeds based indie pop group writes:

Last week we did the first set of rehearsals for the festival shows we’ve got this summer. It was the first time we’ve all played together since the Japan tour last September, so about 9 months, which was a strange feeling, bit like the first day back at school after summer holidays. To be honest I think we were all a bit worried we would be fu**ing rusty after so long, but having some time off meant that everyone was coming back to the old tunes with fresh ears and we managed to make a few tweaks and changes and the set is now sounds bigger and better than ever before.
