Rock Me, Amadeus! Falco's Future of the Left get busy in January

future of the left

Ex-Mclusky/Jarcrew types Future of the Left have announced details of their debut single.

'Fingers Become Thumbs!'/'The Lord Hates A Coward' will hit all good record shops on the 29th of January via the physical medium of 7" vinyl, to be preceded by the usual digital format. The two tracks, released through Too Pure, will be backed by 'The Fibre Provider'. I have a copy already and it's mega-awesome, so expect a full review in the coming weeks.

The trio have also recently confirmed their biggest London show to date, playing the 100 Club on Tuesday, January 30th with LoneLady and Kong. Want tickets? Of course you do, so clicky-clicky right here. Don't worry, the link will open in a new window. We're so good to you.

As if this isn't enough to get you vaguely warm on even the chilliest of December evenings, there's also the news that the debut album may not be too far away. Speaking on the band's BlogSpace, Falco recently said:

"After two weekends spent in the not-that-haunted-at-all environs of Monnow Valley studios, we have finished recording (and about half the mixing) for nine songs which should be finding their way onto the finished album... we'll be back to finish it off sometime near the end of February".

With song titles like 'adeadenemyalwayssmellsgood' and 'I Need To Know How To Kill A Cat', you know it's going to be vaguely-threatening fun. HOORAY!



  • hot

    what's this being released on?

    • Shooting at Unarmed Men

      So, what's happened to Shooting at Unarmed Men if Future of the Left are about now?

      • that is not busy

        playing a show in scotland as well, that might be considered busy.

      • i think Jon's still in Australia

        last i heard. there was talk of him re-recruiting and setting up Shooting At Unarmed Men over there..?

      • Is that Falco on the right?

        Eek. He grew some hair!

        • just as long as he doesnt lose

          the mutton chops, im happy. The fact that future of the left are fantastic is the only reason i didnt k.k. kill myself after mclusky split. shooting at unarmed men were a bit pony anyway.

          • the lord hates a coward

            is probably the greatest song ever

            • yep jon is downunder i think

              i hear he has two versions of the band, one for each hemisphere!

            • that would be

              too pure

            • everywhere i look, there's a darkness
