***UPDATES & TA'S***
Hello all,
Not spam as such but it's the easiest way for me to say thank you. We have a had quite a few gigs this month (probably too many) but we enjoy it too much to say no sometimes.
This is just a big thank you to anyone who came and watched us. spent their money and their time indulging in some FGHness. It really does mean a lot to us and your continued support is infinitely appreciated.
More FGH is on it's way so stay tuned, But to bullet point it...
- New 3 maybe 4 track demo coming this June!!!
- Gonna be progin' it up very soon (more info to come)
- Will be appearing on 'Totalrock.com' again to promote said NEW EP
- Gigs gigs an more gigs so plenty more chances to see us shake our money makers!!! YAY!!!
Love love,

RIP Peter Steele
Today i am really sad to hear about the passing of 'Peter Steele' He was one of my favourite front men. Charisma, stage presence but most importantly WITH A SENSE OF HUMOUR! He wasn't up his own arse yet still made more popular frontmen pale in comparison.
Not only this but inspiration wise i (and it's no secret) am a massive fan of any music that is epic, flamboyant and/or over the top. Pete Steele was a man who could make one bass guitar sound like 50 playing through at least 10 amps. I know he is a regular talking point with me and PaulFGH his dark riffs and vocal melodies have and will continue to inspire us to write the music we want to hear.
This is his biggest legacy. Sure he has his music, but more importantly i feel that any artists biggest legacy will always be their talent to inspire more. There is no bigger compliment than someone who wants to be like or sound or draw or paint or dress or... you get the picture. This all said i am sure Big Pete probably didn't help himself with his health and secretly i am not surprised to hear the rumor that it was heart failure. That said he was one of a kind, the kind of guy who lived to the full even if he didn't always feel it. His battles with depression are widely documented but i hope wherever he is now he can see us and he knows that actually although not perfect, his time here was cherished by a lot of people and he has certainly left his mark.
Rest in Peace Peter Steele. I shall be listening to 'October Rust' today and all weekend. We shall have a few drinks in your honor and the set at BarForm this saturday is dedicated to you my friend. Thank you.
