Yes - we're very excited about it.

17th January we will be headlining the Corn Exchange in Cambridge.

Details on the GIGS page of this website.

UPDATE - Actually at the moment it's not because there's a bug on the website but hopefully by the time you read this it will be fixed. If not, just follow THIS LINK

For the many of you who have been asking when we will be releasing our new album, this is the sitch:

We have recorded it

We have not yet mixed it

We are very tired from our crazy Summer and are spending much of our time lazing around. Sorry about that.

The new album will be out in the new year.

Thanks for your patience :o)

Yes boys and girls: you can download 'Do Something Stupid Tonight' for free.

 - but it is a complicated process due to gremlins on the play.com website.

 First: click THIS LINK

Then: In the new window click 'BUY'

Then: Click 'CHECKOUT'

(at this point you may need to sign in to play.com or sign up if you don't have an account already)

Then click: 'I HAVE A PROMOTIONAL OR DISCOUNT VOUCHER' on the right-hand side.

Then: Enter the code hamfat08 and click 'Apply Voucher'.

Then:  The new page will tell you the track is not available for download. This is a lie.

Tick the box on the bottom-right that says 'Track' by it and click 'Continue'

If you have got this far, you have passed the intelligence and initiative test and will almost certainly recieve a free track.

We wish you luck.

Sorry to mess you around but we've had a tour date change:

The gig in Manchester has been changed. It will now be on Sunday 5th October at The Moon Under Water, 68-74 Deansgate, Manchester. It is part of a mini-festival run by ITC and there will be 6 other bands on that night, starting at 6pm.

We're very sorry about this but it was unavoidable - we have had to cancel the gig at Bristol Bar Acadenmy tonight.

 If you were planning to come along - please get in touch via our CONTACTS page and we will make sure you don't end up disappointed.

Yup, we've got a shed load of gigs all over the UK  - just check out our GIGS page to see what's going on. Would love to see you. Please come and say hi if you see us at the venue. The manchester gig has been postponed - we will keep you updated about a replacement.

Cheers, Eoin of Hamfatter

Yup, we slipped down to number 5 in the indie charts knocked out by the Last Shadow Puppets and Adele.

This is a Hamfatter landmark - in the charts for more than one week. Sweet.

Well, we released our CD and vinyl single 'The Girl I Love' last week and this week it is #3 in the indie charts with Dizee Rascal at #1.

:o) :o)

This is 10 places higher than our previous best: #13 with our single Sziget last year.

Massive thanks to everyone who bought/downloaded it. We really appreciate your support.

Lots of love, Hamfatter
