Not too much action on the Abdou front at the moment as I'm wroking hard on preparing for the upcoming Carter gigs.
But we have the UK and German dates coming up very soon too. Gonna be a fun last 1/4 for 2009 :)

Well, here we are half way through the year already! This year's dates have been great so far with a lot more to come throughout the rest of the year.
The album isn't progressing quite as quickly as I hoped but there is still stuff happening, so that's a good thing.
Thanks to everyone who made the pilgrimage to The Park in Bletchley, we had a great time.
Next Gig is on Sat August 1st at Kilburn Good Ship. It's an all-dayer with loads of great bands. Hope to see some of you there
Watch out for the German Tour in Oct/Nov.

The album is coming along nicely we have four tracks almost finished now and we will be recording more very soon.
Can't believe it's may already. It has been a fun year so far, with a totaly brilliant Oz tour and as you can see to your left, the Abdou tour just goes on and on.

The new Abdou album is coming along nicely a we hope to be in the studio early Feb, to knock out a few of the new tracks.
If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, a must-have game is deffo Slotz Racer, not only is it a brilliant Scalextrix type slot game, but it also features an Abdou car and an opponent called Fruitbat! You can pick it up for a steal at the iTunes app store. Cool or what!

Hello Folks! Well, we are nicely into 2009 and as you can see Australia 2009 is already taking shape.

Wow, midway through December already
First of all I would like to thank everyone that wished me a happy birthday either via cards, email, facebook, myspace or even in person. I had a fantastic 50th.
The Battitude birthday gig at the Windmill was simply awesome.
Abdou have wrapped up the gig schedule for 2008 now, it has been a record year as far as number of gigs is concerned and we had a real ball playing in the UK, Oz and the US.
As you can see from the panel to your left, I have started to book Oz 2009, aready looking forward to that.
I wish you all a wonderful Crimbo and a terribly groovy New Year.
Big Love, Fruity xxx

I can't believe it's November already, this year has just shot by.
It has been a busy one for myself and the boys. We made our usual trip to Australia earlier this year, plus a short trip to the US in July and have been steadily touring the UK ever since.
The Carter shows have now been and gone so it's time to get back to work with Abdou. The year continues with a nice little mini-tour concluding with BATTITUDE at the Windmill Brixton, which will be a celebration of my 50th Birthday!.
I have also been busy on the song-writing front and have got about 15 new tunes that will eventually become the next Abdou album. In the meantime, last year's album is available in the online shop still. It's called CYCLE RIOT HISTORY GANG and you can buy it HERE
Cheers, Fruity xxx
