Heads up from Nicky!!
Hello everyone
After taking a few months off to unwind after the tour, we’re finally back in the studio. We’ve been busy working on the new album for the past couple of weeks and are having a really great time. I know you’ve all been dying to hear some new material from us, so you’ll be pleased to hear that the album will have loads of brand new tracks on.
We’re due to finish in the studio this week and then we’re jetting off abroad next week to shoot the video. Can’t give too much away at the moment, but stay tuned and we’ll let you know a bit more about it soon.
Take care
Nicky~

Kian
My favourite holiday: I went on a camping trip in Spain earlier this year and I have to say it was probably one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. You know, hiring a car, not knowing where you’re going, not having a hotel booked, just arriving at a campsite, putting up a tent, which is always a great laugh, cooking a meal on your little gas stove, it’s really, really good fun.
My favourite getaway: The sea. Surfing is just the best thing that’s ever been invented for me. I just love surfing.
My favourite hotel: Four Seasons in Dublin. I think that’s a really classy hotel, but generally Four Seasons are pretty much the same.
If I’ve got time off I...Go surfing
My funniest holiday story: Me trying to put the tent up. If you get a new tent and you try to put it up for the first time I think it’s probably one of the funniest things you’ll ever do. You end up putting it up ten different ways before you actually realise how to do it. It took me about three hours.
My suitcase essentials: They’ve changed a lot. I used to be one of those people who needed their hair products and now it’s just a pair of shorts, clean underwear, clean socks, a few T-shirts and a pair of jeans. That’ll do me.
My favourite summer tunes: I listen to a lot of different music every summer. This summer I’ll be listening to a lot of Ben Harper, surfer-y chill-out stuff.
The place I’d most like to visit: I’d like to do a surf trip in Indonesia because I’ve been reading an awful lot about it recently. The waves out there are very good.
Mark
My favourite holiday: I enjoy going fishing. Even if you don’t catch fish, it’s very relaxing, you know, camping out in a caravan or a camper van, or renting a little cottage somewhere. We’ve done all the big cities and casinos and fun parks but by far the most relaxing thing is driving around at your own pace, doing a little hobo.
My favourite getaway: I love driving into the middle of nowhere.
My favourite hotel: I don’t have a favourite. I just want a balcony and a window that opens.
If I’ve got time off I… Play dead
My funniest holiday story: Getting stopped for about an hour and a half in customs in Miami because I had Israel and all the Middle Eastern countries stamped on my passport.
My suitcase essentials: Toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash. Loads of clean jocks and socks. Loads of clean T-shirts, some jeans and a tracksuit, like a big baggy top to relax in.
My favourite summer tunes: Last year I really liked Kanye West’s album, that was my summer album. This year I don’t really have one. There’s one I got free off the record label though by Ziggy Marley called Dragonfly.
The place I’d most like to visit: I’m looking forward to going to Sydney again because it was so much fun when we went there on tour.
Nicky
My favourite holiday: When I was about eight my parents and I went to Canada for two weeks. I’d never been to the States and it was just the best thing ever. We went to see the Falls, which was just incredible. I still love travelling to these big cities, but when you first see it at that age it’s just amazing.
My favourite getaway: Travelling through the South of France.
My favourite hotel: I like the chain of W hotels in the States. But Four Seasons as a whole, definitely.
If I’ve got time off I…love to spend it with my beloved wife Georgina and my dog Keano.
My funniest holiday story: I travelled to Miami with Georgina and Shane and Gillian. We took some photographs and I have this habit of playing paparazzi where I just grab the camera and take a picture. When we got them back there was one where Shane just looked like his face was inside out. He looked about 45 stone.
My suitcase essentials: Wallet, phone, passport. With that I can get anywhere.
My favourite summer tunes: This summer I’ve been listening to James Blunt, but if you want to talk about summer in general I remember when ‘Mr Vain’ and ‘Rhythm is a Dancer’ came out. I also remember a song that Georgina bought me called ‘You Sure Do’ by Strike. I used to like that.
The place I’d most like to visit: The south of Italy, right in the boot. I absolutely love it.
Shane
My favourite holiday: It was probably my honeymoon actually, out in the Maldives in the middle of nowhere. It was just unbelievable; very relaxing, very hot. Paradise.
My favourite getaway: Probably just going home to be honest. I love spending time at home and just chilling out.
My favourite hotel: Four Seasons.
If I’ve got time off I…Play golf
My funniest holiday story: Mine’s probably the same as Nicky’s. He literally couldn’t look at me all day without breaking into fits of laughter. He had to leave the swimming pool at one point because he couldn’t stop laughing.
My suitcase essentials: Again, same as Nicky’s.
My favourite summer tunes: Mine was actually’ ‘Boom Boom Boom’ by the Outhere Brothers.
The place I’d most like to visit: Moscow. I’d absolutely love to go to Moscow.
We’ve got very exciting news: the band are in the studio right now recording their next album!
It’s going to be a brand new studio album, and the guys have been working with a whole host of top producers including Steve Mac, Quiz/Larossi, Per + David, Jorgen Elofsson and Maratone (Rami, Antor + Savan).
Once the recording has finished at the end of August, the boys will be heading to a secret overseas location to shoot the video for the first single, as well as some fantastic new promotional pictures.
Stay tuned for more info…
