We’re currently in the process of making a series of classic Futureheads concerts available for you to buy. The band have a number of shows with them on the road which can be bought from the merch store on CD. The first downloadable show is also now available. Recorded at The Quart Festival, Norway in 2004 the 19 song gig, featuring some much loved Futureheads tracks like ‘Ticket’, ‘Danger Of The Water’, ‘The City Is Here For You To Use’ and ‘Robot’, it is available for $10 (that's about £5 or 7 Euro).

Just dropping a line to inform those whom it may concern the activities and adventures of The 'Heads over the past few weeks.
This is longest we have been away in ages, festival season is in full swing and we have been stepping from country to country (well sleeping on a moving bus) playing as many as it is humanly possible. Thanks to everybody that saw us and danced and clapped etc. My favourite was in Holland, 'Music in my Head' was it's name and the crowd were superb. We also had the great honor and hair raising pleasure of supporting the Foo Fighters for two bloody massive gigs, one of which was at Wembley frickin Stadium. My word what a big place. Our dressing room was in next to the england team changing room, I had a sneeky shower while nobody was looking, using the 'luxury wembley' body wash. We came on to the stage through the 'tunnel', I had no choice but to sprint like an escaping convict as the stage was 1000 miles away and we'd already been introduced. It took the other boys by surprise, they must have thought i was a lunatic. Bless them. Strange to watch pigeons flying around inside a venue, I wonder what it sounded like for them, they seemed to enjoy us, didn't drop any shit on us or anything. Score.

We are in New York at the minute, arrived last night. Our flight was delayed because George W Bush decided to pop in to London, the airport came to a standstill, we were on the runway staring at the beast that is Airforce One, surely it should be called Aircraft One as 'force' suggests lots of planes, I might bring that up with him the next time I see him. We are here to play The Bowery Ballroom and do loads of press, including a possible interview on a helicopter!
Don't know how our words will be heard over the noise of the spinning things, then again all i'll be saying is 'HELP I'M ON A HELICOPTER, STOP TRYING TO DO STUNTS, I'M PAPPING MY PANTS'. We'll have to wait and see. It's been nearly 2 years since we last played over here, we are all really looking forward to it. This place is amazing. Bet you've never heard anyone say that before.

Take it easy
