Currently wowing audiences on the other side of the globe, with a world tour that takes in the likes of Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, Welsh rockers FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND are readying themselves for a festive tour of the UK throughout December, climaxing with a mammoth homecoming gig at the Cardiff CIA.
2007 has been another monumental year for these five lads from Wales....winning the 'Artist Of The Year' Award at this years BT Digital Music Awards (seeing off competition from the likes of Muse, Razorlight, Bloc Party, Rihanna and Natasha Bedingfield!)...having new album 'Tales Don't Tell Themselves' hit the UK Album Charts at #3....playing the main stage at Reading....touring the world on both the Warped Tour and also on their own headline tour....it has truly been spectacular!!
On the road with them throughout the UK they'll be taking New York metalcore guru's EVERY TIME I DIE.
