The time has come! The entries are in, the band has chosen, and the winner is…

Susie Borrington!

Well done Susie, you and 2 friends have won a trip to London to listen to the final mix-down of The Hoosiers’ new album, around Christmas time! You’ll be there, in the studio, with the guys! So we hope you enjoy it.

We’ll be in touch soon to confirm the details to you, so in the meantime, make it a good weekend to celebrate! And everyone else, we’re really sorry – the entries for this one were fantastic! But the guys could only pick one winner.

Susie’s video entry is here on the blog – and here’s here little story:

“While this isn’t actually my video, it reminds of being at the ULU in London, November 15th 2007. Being out of towners me and Cathy didn’t actually have student cards to get into the union before the gig, but threw caution to the wind and blagged our way in and upstairs to the sound check cos we really wanted to meet the band. In doing so we got past a lousy doorman, and a very angry looking blonde on the phone who I presume was some sort of band manager, and looked like she wanted to break our kneecaps for having got so close to the band! =P
Anyways, we saw this unfolding, but didn’t dare to interrupt…so stayed in the stairwell watching until Irwin said “stop it, we’ve got a soundcheck to do!” and legged it outta there cos we thought he was yelling at us =/. Great gig though and a brilliant moment to witness! =D”

After you guys chose Lovelle as the UK ambassador on the Pepsi-back Akon single “Oh Africa”, the time has finally come!

On Sunday (31st January), the single will be released, and we all hope it gets to number one!

The song, featuring Akon and Keri Hilson (pictured with Lovelle, right) is giving proceeds from the sales to helping underprivileged African youth. Akon’s Konfidence Foundation, (Konfidence.org), will be one of the main charities set to receive a portion of the proceeds.

Check out konfidence.org to download the track, and check back here next week for more information and videos!

The Enemy Soundcheck – covering The Verve

Hey Pepsimaxcasters… It’s been a blinding few weeks indeed. We have had some truly brilliant gigs – Leeds on Monday was mental… we had the Sheffield Wednesday firm in and it went off!!
And the The London Forum last Thurs was totally insane!! It was packed, the crowd knew every single word to every song and  everyone was jumping about [...]

Hey Pepsimaxcasters… It’s been a blinding few weeks indeed. We have had some truly brilliant gigs – Leeds on Monday was mental… we had the Sheffield Wednesday firm in and it went off!!

And the The London Forum last Thurs was totally insane!! It was packed, the crowd knew every single word to every song and  everyone was jumping about and going crazy- at one point I thought the balcony was going to come down! We then went on and partied till the small hours in Camden… I didn’t feel to clever in the morning though!

I also wanna say a big thank you to the Pepsi Max comp winners for coming down and saying  hello – top geezers! Anyway just thought you’d like a sneak peek at one of our soundchecks. This is me doing “The Drugs Don’t Work” by The Verve – one of my favourite bands. Liam, Andy and I like to take it in turns to choose a song to cover to keep sounchecks fun! Enjoy… TC.

The Enemy Tour Snaps

Hey Pepsi Maxcasters!! We hope you’re dandy and can’t wait to see you all on out upcoming UK tour (check our website for dates www.theenemy.com).

Hey Pepsi Maxcasters!! We hope you’re dandy and can’t wait to see you all on out upcoming UK tour (check our website for dates www.theenemy.com). We are sure they’ll be lots of crazy moments in the next few weeks but all this talk of touring has got us feeling all misty eyed about past tours! We’ve been looking through some old tour snaps and have complied a little album for you to have a look at and that will hopefully give you a little flavour of what touring with The Enemy is like. The pics include photos from Beachbreak, Glastonbury, Ibiza Rocks (we love IBIZA- want to be there now!!!!) and Summersonic in Japan- mad and wonderful place. Oh and there’s one of some clowns (it’s not us in disguise, honest! We just like clowns) plus check out the pic of two of road crew after Andy and Liam had chucked them in the pool in Ibiza! Hilarious! Adios and see you on the road! Tom, Liam and Andy

Liam from The Enemy’s Tour Essentials

  • The most important is mobile phone!
  • iPod
  • Spare chargers because Andy will steal them!
  • Lots of t shirts, socks and boxers
  • Flip flops for the venue showers!
  • Gold Bond coz someone will have an extreme case of beer bum!
  • Fully stocked washbag – tour is a sweaty process
  • Immodium tablets – for when your on the motorway, on the bus and get some inevitable stomach problems. Tour bus rule is no solids, even if you think its runny enough!
  • DVD’s – Partridge, The Office, Brass Eye and Human Remains!
  • Deck of cards and some poker chips – quickest way to lose your PD’s
  • Tour itinerary – to stop you pi**ing the tour manager off and asking a million questions!

(All held together in a bag sturdy enough to be abused and thrown around for a month!)

Fade’s Tour Diaries – part 3

Fade’s Tour Diaries™….. part.3 in an intermittent series…

(or musings from across the globe.)

The Adelaide Shuffle

Not only does water run away down plug-holes the other way in the southern Hemisphere, but their dance moves have a distinct funk of their own. The Adelaide-Shuffle (modified from the erstwhile Melbourne-shuffle) is a spectacle to behold. Kind of like the Running Man, mixed-up with what we used to call the X-man in 1990, then sped-up and stripped of any recognisable “dancing” characteristics and replaced with the unsexy frenetic stomp of a wooden-legged man dealing with too-high a treadmill setting. People seem to bust this local move out at any given moment all over the club, for a burst of about 30 seconds of cardio intensity like a mating-ritual for ephedrine-drunk robots. It’s bad enough when the boys do it (and let’s face it, what dance move isn’t?) but some girls get involved too. It’s a wonder any pro-creation gets achieved at all in Southern Australia. This won’t be seen in a club near you soon. [*sauce got some footage tho…]

E-Cup Bolt-ons

The best self-description of a pair enhanced-breasts I’ve ever heard. Brisbanites don’t mince their words. They also party harder than anywhere else we’ve been this year. And look good while doing it. All year-round sunshine does wonders for keeping-up your beach-bod credentials and yet manage to never take yourself (or indeed anything) too seriously. The Monastery, Brisbane, we salute you. You bring the party.

The Return from Oz

22 hours in the air is just wrong. But coming down for one hour break to visit the toilets in Singapore airport is the most unexpected dose of luxury, your long-haul economy traveller can experience. [*pic attached] They are plusher than any of the hotels we’ve stayed in on this tour. They are nicer than my own bathroom at home. They are nicer than my whole flat tbh. Like when u go into a really flash restaurant loo and wished you lived there. (we all do that….right?). There is even an attendant guy actually cleaning- all the time- instead of offering you Chupa Chups and a £5 squirt of Hugo Boss. My parting tip to anyone flying-out East is to save your ablutions for Singapore airport.. and don’t do any home-improvements before you’ve taken notes there.
