"Run Run Run" Music Video


FFA - Live @ Rockwood, 6-28-07


Fools For April is all about simplicity. Simple, strong songs, with simple, raw production; tasteful playing and pure emotion. Their fresh sound crosses genres of pop, folk, blues, and rock.

"(FFA) is one of the better songwriting teams I have come across in a bunch of years...simply really great…original sound without much comparison."
Michael Dorf, Founder of the Knitting Factory, NYC.

“…mellow duo Fools for April…cover “Help” as John would have wanted it.”
Village Voice

“The chance to see new talent break out is one of the great perks of such an event, and Wednesday it was the [New York]-based band Fools for April’s beautiful version of "Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters," a New York song for a New York band. Throughout the evening, as various members of Fools for April came back to play back-up for other performers, they offered additional reasons to look toward their as-yet unreleased debut CD with anticipation.”
The New York Sun Review from the Elton John tribute show @ Carnegie Hall

"...music for hopeful hearts and lovesick listeners alike."
- Alyssa Rashbaum (MTV, SPIN, VIBE)

"Every track contains lyrics of undeniable significance that are delivered with engaging harmonies."
- Joel Crane (NME, Q, Mojo)

"The disc I have opens with “Fallin At Your Feet,” which starts out in a sort of sleepy acoustic Jack Johnson groove before building into a mid-tempo jangler that actually absorbs a touch of funk into the beat." "EP cut “Long Division” adds some bluesy Harrison/Clapton electric licks to the package before the Harrison theme becomes even more explicit in the near-homage track “Run Run Run.” This terrific number sounds like nothing so much as a lost Harrison-Crosby collaboration, all rolling melody and sweet high harmonies." "Another EP cut, “Better Place,” has a sort of gloomy early-Dylan feel at first, then blossoms into a steady-on folk-rocker with organ and female background vocals filling out the sound."
- The Daily Vault

Hey Fools!! Been missin' ya'll...anyway when I woke this morning, I had "Hold My Breath" in my head, and it was one of those comical things where I felt like each step I took to get ready was part of a music video for a song.
Can't wait till next FFA!! ox
