HowLongIsTheNight? Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Straight from the horses mouth (so to speak)"Hello there, been a while. Alright? What's been happening with us, you say? Well...HR and Sony parted company by mutual consent at the end of August. This nicely coincided with some shows supporting New Found Glory, a very drunken Kerrang! Awards and a rather fantastic Carling Weekend. The shows were amazing - thanks to you if you were there and thanks to everyone who called or sent a text in response to our 'For Sale' backdrop and shirts, made for an entertaining afternoon!The HR track from the Sorepoint Records Smiths tribute album "How Soon Is Now" is released as a single this week and is OUT NOW! Handily enough, the HR cover is "How Soon Is Now" and on the CD and 7" you can also experience the joys of AC/DC's "Back In Black" (as performed for Zane Lowe on Radio One earlier this year) The Bangles' "Eternal Flame" and Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car".Also this week, Larry recorded Never Mind The Buzzcocks - he was on Bill Bailey's team with the legendary Toyah Wilcox.And what of the future? First off, HR are back on tour in November with the mighty Reuben, the majestic Twofold and the magnificent Dave House in support. As ever, don't delay - the first band will be on soon after doors open so GET THERE EARLY!November03 Bristol Fleece04 Birmingham Academy05 Leicester Charlotte06 Liverpool Academy08 Aberdeen Lemon Tree09 Edinburgh The Venue10 Glasgow King Tuts Wah Wah Hut11 Newcastle University12 Leeds Cockpit14 Manchester Academy15 Brighton Concorde 217 London Electric Ballroom19 Oxford Zodiac20 Reading Fez Club22 Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms23 Exeter Lemon Grove24 Falmouth Tremough Campus, Penryn25 Cardiff Corn Exchange26 Milton Keynes Woughton CentreAlso, exclusively on tour, you'll be able to get your mucky paws on the brand spanking new, limited edition Hundred Reasons live album on Gravity DIP, "Come For The Rock, Stay For The Ballads". The track listing is still TBC, but you'll be able to luxuriate in ten tracks recorded on the March 2004 UK tour. And just to reiterate, this release will ONLY be available on tour.We're planning the first ever HR US release, hopefully in the next couple of months. It'll be a compilation of the two albums and details of label / release date etc will appear here as soon as they're confirmed.Beyond that, HR have been writing and demoing for the last six weeks or so. 'No Pretending' was the first song from these sessions to be played live, debuted over the New Found Glory / Carling Weekend shows and there's about an album's aorth of stuff in the can already. A new record deal and the next HR chapter should coincide nicely with the start of the new year.Brand new, shiny www.hundredreasons.com coming soon! See you in November."Exlusive live album! US compilation of both HR albums! New songs!Its not too obvious that I'm a fanboy.......is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
