A Message From Barry: What a weekend that will be.
Posted May 17, 2008
Hello ..:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /> I just thought i'd let you all know how things are going in the Futurehead camp as of (insert date). It's been a while since my last contact, we have all been very busy (and very to glad to be so), so I feel like I start by saying a few words on 'I can feel it, I can feel it, I ca.........TWIST!' We are so happy with the response to Twist, thanks to all of that bought it, you helped us hold our own against Girls Allowed, Leona Lewis and pop midget gem, Kylie. We needed you lot to get behind the song and you really did so thanks once again. It has also managed to become our biggest radio hit to date, it's had bloody hundreds of plays in the UK and for the first time ever we have a song that has been playlisted in Australia. This is thrilling for us. The Artwork for the single is the first in a series based around the theme of, wait for it, 'tin foil'. The design for Radio Heart is a little more funny than the magnified metal creases on 'Twist', sorry to call it by just one word, it's pretty 'industry', I know, but I just can't help it. I've been institutionalised by the music biz. We really hope you like the art work for the singles and more importantly the album, we are over the moon with the way it looks. Definately our most attractive album to date. It's as sharp as a dart, and the concept came from Dave which in my mind makes it even better. Steve Gullick took the snaps and once again he has done splendid job. What a guy. So it seems that our first attempt to be a record label worked out! Fancy that eh? I find that mental to be honest with you, seeing 'Nul Records' sitting in the charts with every major label under the sun was never even a day dream then suddenly it was more than a possibility, it was actually happening. Haha, I love the complete utter cheek of it, superb fun. It's great start for us this year, thanks again. As I said before we are very busy, we've all got lots on, Ross is getting the next release together for his label, Dave is making a solo album, Jaff just got a new puppy and muggins Barry here is getting married in a few months. HELP!. Only joking Laura, oops, I'm going to get in trouble for saying that. We are playing T in the Park, which is the day before I get hitched, or should I say lynched. Oops done it again. I think it'll be class to play a big festival the day before your wedding, the other guys think I'm a lunatic like but i think it'll be a good way to prepare for the marriage. The audience at T has always been amazing for us, I think this will be our fourth time there. What a weekend that will be. We have also managed to get on the bill for Glasto, well chuffed about that one. A tricky one and we are going on second last on the John Peel Tent on the same day as Jay-Z. The most controversial Glasto headliner of all time. I'm a fan but I thought it was an odd choice. some of my friends were livid about it. I think it could be really good. Played a gig in Sunderland last night, absolutely loved every minute of it. Nice One Sunderland! Thanks again Barrington Hideous
