Hadouken! Gear Up For Touring

Posted on June 24, 2009 by popdirt

updated fans on their blog at MySpace 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.

Hadouken! Check In After Bestival Gig Gets Scratched

Posted on September 7, 2008 by popdirt

checked in with fans on their blog at MySpace on Sunday (September 7) after their schedule Bestival performance in Isle of Wight, England was cancelled. They write:

Sorry to anybody who was hoping to see us as Bestival. We were there on site just about to get changed into our awesome zombie pirate costumes when we were told that the BBC Introducing stage had been closed down due to the weather conditions and our show had been canceled.

We were gutted as this was our last UK show of the year but there was nothing we or the festival organizers could do.

British weather is sh**.

We’ll definitely be back next year if they’ll have us.

SORRY, BYE

Hadouken! Summer Tour Update

Posted on June 22, 2008 by popdirt

James Smith of checked in with fans on the Leeds, England indie pop group’s MySpace blog on Saturday (June 21). Smith writes, “It’s been a long time since I sent a message to you. First off gotta thank you for the support over the last couple of months, most importantly those who bought the record or came to a gig. The top 20 chart position was a nice suprise to us all and the tour was off the fu**ing hook. We have been getting more and more confident on stage and actually getting fitter with all the exercise so smashing up the place for an hour is no problem these days. We did a Czech festival the other week and I copied Kurt Cobain and jumped into Nicks drumkit at the end of the show. I can now tick that off my list of stupid things to do before I die.” Read more.

James Previews New Hadouken! Album

Posted on January 23, 2008 by popdirt

vocalist James Smith checked in with fans on the band’s blog at MySpace on Monday (January 21). Smith writes:

Just in the studio recording our album, with my new best mate Jacknife. He’s got a CD collection that would take you 6 years to upload, an unlimited supply of wine and synths that make noises that sound like R2-D2 having an orgasm. Its good fun.

The album is probably going to have NINE new songs on it. Of those if you saw us on tour you probably only heard three.

There’s a track called ‘Get Smashed Gate Crash’ about that house party you went to where you smashed up the living room, had sex in the pantry, pissed in the corner, stole the DVD collection and smoked crack in the laundry room aged approximately 13.
