Thanks to everyone who came out to our Final show a couple of weeks ago. It was far beyond any of our expectations. Check out all the sweet videos on Youtube, and we'll be posting some photos as they come in. We have plent of posters left, and tonnes of girls shirts (apparently I over-estimated our tiny-girl fan base). We'll let you know how you can go about picking one of those up asap.
Thanks again, we love you guys.
Ian/The Blast.
THE FULLBLAST RETROSPECTIVE MYSPACE PAGE!
Sweet jebus time flies. I just noticed that the last "update" was 2 years ago. Well, there isn't much else to tell to be honest - Bri is still ripping it up with A Wilhelm Scream, Andy is currently home from touring with BNO, Darran is working hard, and BBR is still going strong for me. Check out Living With Lions, a rad punk rock band who's record is coming out June 17th.
Anyway, not much else going on. For those of you that still check out this profile and enjoy our music, thanks for the support. Keep sending us messages, I try to log in and read them a couple of times a month. Oh, and FYI, unfortunately we do not have any more merch, or copies of "Constructing Fidelity" or "Punk Technology". Keep checking back, we might put some stuff up for download on iTunes...but no decisions have been made yet.
Thanks for reading, and keep in touch.
