Hadouken? what all this about?

[theampersanddevil]

Go to ticketmaster, type in rockness and they come up first.

Hadouken - road to rockness WTF?

[_Warriors Dance_]

kinda makes you think they will play Rockness again.

[Kyelo]

Would have thought an Inverness gig would be in there!

[Hebn2themix]

Its a gig in Inverness Ironworks. Its like what Fatboy Slim did the 2nd year he played.

[theampersanddevil]

Kind of looks that way. Heard their new song the other day and while I'm not a fan, I really liked it.

Their web site is saying nothing and the tour is named after the new album so I'm wondering why the tagline?

Anybody seen them before and if so are they any good?

[Hebn2themix]

I saw them at Rockness (was waiting for Boys Noize). There alright, nothing special but not bad either.

No way! Where did you find out about this?

[rexclark]

Load of pish.

[smutchie]

That's my birthday!

Saw them when I was waiting for Boys Noize too, not my kind of thing to be honest. But alright!

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.

[tweemo freak]

Look at my signature and you'll know if im seeing them or not! They'll own at Rockness! If you dont think they suit it, then look up Liquid Lives, mainly the four word chant. (never has four words summed up Rockness so well!)

They played two years ago tweemy.

They will not own at rockness either.

I went to see them in 08, and although the atmosphere in the tent was decent, Hadouken themselves were shocking.
