Here's what we got planned for the next 18 months!
1. Our good friend Arlen Figgis is editing our live dvd. We filmed our concert at Shepherds Bush Empire in London on the Classic Fantastic tour. The dvd (untitled at the moment) will be available exclusively on our promo tour (January 15-22, 2014). FLC will be performing in the following cities -
15/1 - Manchester - Cathedral 16/1 - Glasgow - ABC 17/1 - Dublin - Academy 19/1 - Wolverhampton - Wulfrun Hall 20/1 - London - Koko 21/1 - Amsterdam - Melkweg 22/1 - Antwerp - Trix
More tour dates will be announced as they come in...
2. Many people have been asking us about a 20th anniversary tour and we are pleased to say it will happen! FLC were signed to EMI records in the USA on February 9, 1995. Our first performances of 'Come Find Yourself' were at the Tunnel nightclub in NYC every Friday in September, 1995. These showcases were very special for us! We have decided to kickstart our 20th anniversary tour in 2015! Yes, we will be performing 'Come Find Yourself' from start to finish just like we did at those showcases at the Tunnel. We are hoping to perform in most of the cities FLC played all those years back! This will include NYC, Boston, Washington DC, LA, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and all the usual European markets we have played over the years!
3. We are working on a special filmed performance of 'Come Find Yourself' from start to finish with our friends at Metropolis Studios in London. This very intimate performance will be filmed in Nov/Dec of this year with a dvd release end of next year to coincide with the launch of the 20th anniversary tour! There will be 100 tickets available for this concert (they won't be cheap!). XFM is sponsoring the event and will be giving away 10 tickets as well! Those that get their hands on tickets will be a part of FLC history! We will have more info on exact dates/prices asap.
4. We are in the early stages of production on a re-release of 'Come Find Yourself' with a hopeful release date in February, 2016. We have many alternate versions, unreleased songs from the 'CFY' sessions that we are hoping to dust-off and complete for this release. We want to release instrumentals of many of the songs as well as a live recording from the 'CFY' tour!
There you have it folks! We greatly appreciate all the love and support over the years, the fans are the reason we do this!

The first 500 customers to order 'Say It To My Face' at Recordstore.co.uk will receive an exclusive signed slipcase by Huey Morgan.*
Fun Lovin’ Criminals frontman, songwriter, broadcaster and actor Huey Morgan releases his eagerly awaited debut solo album Say It To My Face on Naim Edge.
Morgan is a rock 'n' roll Renaissance Man, the half Puerto Rican / Irish ex-Marine who, since moving to London in the mid-2000s, has become a charismatic presence across the UK's cultural spectrum - one of Britain's’ best loved radio DJs (on both BBC 6 Music and the mighty Radio 2), winner of a Sony Radio Award too and already multi-million selling as part of the legendary Fun Lovin’ Criminals, a unique ground breaking rock and soul band that found influences in hip hop, swing, blues and funk. Say It To My Face is drenched with the same omnipresent effortless cool of Morgan’s famous gritty vocal style and deft blues licks. Morgan abundantly explores the roots and soul influences on his solo material that he’s become celebrated for sharing on his BBC Radio show.
Missing his native New York yet inspired by the gift of a re-issued 1920‘s Martin acoustic guitar, Morgan set to work on Say It To My Face enlisting help from his life-long musician buddies he'd played with for years in an occasional band of booze-brothers called the Tangiers Blues Band. A gang augmented by class: steel-pedal from BJ Cole and production from Morgan, along with Grammy-award-winning Tim Latham (Fun Lovin’ Criminals, De La Soul, Lou Reed).
Morgan’s disarmingly candid storytelling recalls the bluesmen of old, but with a unique twist befitting the post hip-hop generation. Say It To My Face is a bold, beautiful, poignant, funny, profoundly authentic old-school rock 'n' roll blast, his baritone croon now giving Tom Waits a considerable run for his tobacco-flavoured money. It's a New York Blues bonanza packed full with songs about the human condition.

Bár gyakorlatilag már 2011. december 14-e óta működik a Budapest Hard Rock Cafe, az ünnepélyes megnyitóra május 18-ig kellett várni. A Hard Rock International megnyitóinak kötelességük nagyot szólni, így volt ez a Vörösmarty tér és a Váci utca sarkán is: gitártörés[...] Bővebben!Tovább »

...annyi a kérdésem, hogy a 3 cd-s változat nem is lesz kereskedelmi forgalomban (csak előrendelés alapján), csak az 1 lemezes 20 számost lehet majd megvenni???
Hiába keresem "guglizva" az egész Classic Fantastic album dalszövegeit, nem találom, a cs bokkletjében meg nincs benne. Valaki esetleg megtalálta már???
...és esetleg valakinek linkek a csak digitálisan elérhető számokhoz? 1./ Soul of a men (album-bónusz) 2./ We did it (CF single bónusz) 3./ Classic Fantastic (Radio edit) 4./ Mister Sun (Radio Edit) 5./ Mister Sun 6./ Mars (Boy Kid Cloud remix)
