General Fiasco start the new decade with a brand new single, their debut album and playing their biggest headline dates so far. ‘Ever So Shy’ (and the album ‘Buildings’) are both being released on Infectious Music. The record was produced by Neal Calderwood whilst Arctic Monkeys and The Enemy cohort Barny Barnicott was on mixing duties – it melds rock and pop with their inimitable energy and kick-ass choruses and produces a thrilling 36 minute explosion of guitar-led cracking tunes.
As well as their own UK shows, the band will be playing a free show at the ‘Skins House’ in Bristol at the end of January – this is a collection of free gigs being put on by E4 in conjunction with the TV series Skins – more details available here .
The Northern Irish trio spent 2009 on the road playing both headline shows, support tours with the likes of The Enemy and The Answer, performing at the CMJ in New York, festivals such as Download and Glastonbury and generally anywhere with a stage they could plug into! They also signed to Infectious Music and released their first single ‘We Are The Foolish’ for them which was played on Radio 1, XFM, MTV 2 and NME TV. They played their biggest show at home in Ireland on Halloween when they headlined the 1300 capacity Ulster Hall in Belfast.
General Fiasco kicked off 2010 by playing the first ever MTV Presents show in Belfast on the 13th January confirming this year will be just as busy.
