SXSW Round-up

2009-03-29T15:02:00.000-07:00

Well what a week it was, 2 shows and 6 days of non-stop partying, beautiful weather and much debauchery we'd say we had a good one.
The first show @ Headhunters was a harsh introduction to the climate, jet-lag and pressure to be on the ball at shows but we pulled through and made some good friends and a favourite bar on Red River.
Following the struggle of the first day the nerves, build up and anxiety all kicked in, but after a hard day's flyering and networking in pink we pulled ourselves together to play a killer set at our main showcase, with the crowd joining us on-stage for renditions of Holidays in the Sun and London's Calling - what a night!
The rest of the week was spent seeing some great sets (The Bronx, Arc Angels, Mean Dinosaur, Tim Palmieri to name a few) missing loads (Julliete Lewis, Cage, Metallica, Steve Jones) and meeting some brilliant people and having some good times.
Texas is an amazing place with some of the finest, most hospitable people we've ever me - its a place we will go back to for sure!

Following our week-long come-down, getting back to the UK from SXSW, we thought we'd share some of the good times we had.

Just a list of peeps to thank -
Bronze, CO, for the back-line to our first ever US show.
Billy Milano, John and Looni @ Headhunters.
Nick Knowles for the party hook-ups.
MACAVITY for the kind words and best random conversation ever.
All The staff @ Mooseknuckle on 6th.
Nigel & the guy on the door @ KLBJ, Aces Lounge.
Mark Awesome for sharing the love.
Fred the neighbor.
Wallmart staff ;).
Seth and the other Cabby.
The boys at the smoke shop.
The most sarcastic man in the world and his friend dude who drove us to kats'.
EVERYONE who made it to the show, especially those who joined us on stage!
Most of all The Nobulator!
The list goes on...

Love you Texas - see you soon hopefully we'll get back there next year for more of this...

JB

This Is What We Are

2009-01-28T14:39:00.000-08:00

Formed at a Velvet Revolver gig in 2005 the name gave birth to the band - initially writing for fun and with the intention of cajoling a bunch of mates into to a few local gigs for beer money. Within a few months a permanent bass player and drummer were recruited and at this stage the band recorded their first demo – the Wake Up Or Die EP – which got them play-listed and interviewed on UK’s Total Rock Radio. Further recording followed and by the end of the year the band had started playing its first gigs.

In 2006, the band scaled down to a four-piece and this gave them a fresh impetus and a tighter sound. Gigging and writing throughout the following year - including a Kerrang! Radio show - was followed in late 2007 by the release of the single Long Time Dead which has been featured on Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson BBC 6 Rock Show and John Kennedy’s XFM show. The flip side 'Skull & Bones' was featured on a covermount CD with UK magazine Rock Sound in January 2008.

The debut video for Long Time Dead has been aired on MTV’s Headbangers Ball in the UK, Europe, South Africa and the US, it was included in their Best of 2007 year end program. 2007 also saw the band's demo track The Antidote feature on Channel 4's Dizzee Rascal: Bow Selector.

2008 has seen them play London gigs at venues such as the Underworld, 100 Club, Barfly, Water Rats and the Borderline, supporting the likes of Fucked Up, Jaguar Love, Slaves to Gravity and Innerpartysystem.

2009 will see Fuckshovel showcasing at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival, Austin TX from March 18-22, followed by an appearance at the Gathering of the Thousands festival in London, April 10th and numerous tbc shows.

They are about to finish their first album 'This Is What We Are' which is being recorded at Metropolis/Battery studios with producer Rohan Onraet (credits with Slipknot/Machine Head).

Long Time Dead and Skull & Bones are available as a 7” picture disc and can both be downloaded on iTunes now.

And So It begins
