Got it from an e-mail from Ironworks:

THE ROAD TO ROCK NESS STARTS HERE

As part of their Road To Rock Ness The Ironworks is pleased to announce that Hadouken! will be performing on Tuesday 23rd February.

Hadouken!, named after Ryu's fireball in Street Fighter have incorporated techno into their sound with samples from Nintendo Game Boys and have had notable festival appearances including RockNess 2008, Summer Sonic Festival in Japan and The NME/Radio1 Stage at Reading and Leeds festival.

Hadouken! were formed in Leeds in 2006 and comprise vocalist, songwriter and producer James Smith a

longside synth player Alice Spooner, guitarist Daniel 'Pilau' Rice, drummer Nick Rice and bassist Chris Purcell. During this time Mike Skinner of The Streets gave the band one of their first radio plays whilst guest presenting Zane Lowe's new music show on BBC Radio 1 and the first double a-side single 'That Boy That Girl / Tuning In' was released shortly after.

Fast forward a year of touring, festivals and MTV2 airplay and Hadouken! were guest presenting Zane Lowe's show in January 2008 and suggested that their forth coming first album would draw more upon their dance influences, comparing it to The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers. In March 2008 their first album 'Music for an Accelerated Culture' was released and has sold more than 100,000 copies.

With 2010 just round the corner Hadouken!s hugely anticipated second album 'For The Masses' is to be released on Jan 25th with the meld of twenty ton club rhythms, furious guitars and keen-witted 21st century lyrical journals it's going to be an even harder, even louder, even more tightly focused year and you'll get to see them here, at The Ironworks.
