Can’t Beat the Buzz of Playing to a Crowd

This band hailing from Yorkshire (UK) is definitely on the top of my playlist since I discovered them on SellaBand. The Tender Hooligans describe their SellaBand efforts as an experiment. But they are absolutely worth to keep an eye on. I asked them about their further plans – here are the answers:

50K MUSIC: It’s about one year since Tender Hooligans disappeared from my radar I must admit. What happened since then?
T.H.: Well until before summer we were mainly writing and taking a break from all the constant giging we were doing. We went into the studio in March and got 3 tracks down which we’re really pleased with. Now we’re giging hard again, played the Moor Musci Festival last weekend which was awesome and playing some great events such as Leeds Festival Fringe, Little Heroes live event and supporting Exit Calm in September which we’re really excited about.

50K MUSIC: You started to fund an album on SellaBand in 2009. What are your plans now regarding the album?
T.H.: We really just let that go by the way side and decided that wasn’t the best way to go. It was more of an experiment really to see how far we could get with it.

50K MUSIC: What other plans can you unveil to us?
T.H.: Well we’ll garry on giging hard for the next few months and then we plan on going to London to record a few more tracks and hopefully play a couple of gigs down there. Take the Tender Hooligans to the south and also hoping to get signed to a small label of some sort to elavate us to that next level.

50K MUSIC: You play a lot of gigs at the moment. How important is it for you to play live?
T.H.: Yeah it’s what it’s all about really, you can’t beat the buzz of playing to a crowd who’s enjoying your music, it makes it feel all the more worth while.
