Charlie "I'm not quitting Busted. Well actually..." Simpson's punka-rocka outfit Fightstar tour their faces off in support of their forthcoming EP, They Liked You Better When You Were Dead.

January
14 Warwick University
16 Dublin Ambassador (supporting Taking Back Sunday)
20 London Camden Underworld (supporting Planes Mistaken For Stars)
28 Sheffield Corporation (supporting Yourcodenameis:Milo)
30 Melkweg (supporting Taking Back Sunday)

February
1 Leeds Met University
2 Coventry Jailhouse (supporting Yourcodenameis:Milo)
4 Swansea Escape Club (supporting Yourcodenameis:Milo)
5 Wrexham Central Station (supporting Yourcodenameis:Milo)
6 Glasgow King Tuts
7 Aberdeen Lemontree
8 Edinburgh Venue
10 Hull University

More info is available from Fightstar's website.

Since it's impossible to mention one without the other, Charlie's Busted career might well be behind him, as rumours of their demise grow and grow. The latest is that he's not spoken to his bandmates Matt and James for three weeks. I say, so what? Sometimes I don't speak to them for ages either.

I wouldn't begrudge him for 'trying', but the ep sounds like a few nu-metal tracks and biffy clyro/mono track tacked on the end. which is what will tend to happen when you have better equipment than Kiss... Based on merit alone they should be slumming it with everybody else...

They're supporting on that Planes show? Glad I chose to wait until they toured with Converge now.

I've got an EP for you Mr Simpson: "They liked you better when you were in Busted".

I have to post some of fightstars lyrics, they're hilarious.

"The lights are going down, Look at us we're fading out, It's been good to have you, The look across your face, Distorted, fucked and hazy eyed, Go fuck your white lies" - Hazy Eyes

"Until we break, And you'll be gone, Until the rain fall starts, Until the lightning strikes your heart, I'll be waiting, I'll be searching on" - Until Then


"You'll never feel you, You do it everytime, You know you need me, Yeah hold me, Fuck you all or show you now I'll die, You talk to me, That's where we'll see"......"Speak up is a word you can't say without falling down" - Speak Up

Sounded like one of Tom Baker's voice overs from Little Britain. :D

All slow, earnest mock rock is toss, whether it's a pampered pop star getting in touch with his pompous side, or smelly boys in a squat gettin' sulky with it.
