Multi-national London based indie rockers Fanfarlo have revealed that they are set to launch a special new advent calendar.
Fanfarlo are the brainchild of Simon Rosenthal. A Swedish musician the singer was drawn to London by its vibrant music scene, and he swiftly met a group of like minded souls.
Taking their name from a 19th century French novella, Fanfarlo specialise in hugely uplifting indie rock. Vast in size and scope, the band moved out to the United States in order to find the right producer.
Releasing their debut album ‘Reservoir’ earlier this year the band decided to keep things simple. The record was issued as a download, with the price set at $1 – the amount Fanfarlo would have earned from a physical release.
Later re-issued as a deluxe physical album, ‘Reservoir’ was a huge hit with music fans. Earning a loyal following the band have now decided to give their supporters a unique Christmas present.
“We’re halfway through our ten-thousand-and-something-mile tour of the US, and despite our grueling driving schedule, near-death experiences on the road and scurvy brought on by too much fast food, we of course can’t help noticing the psychedelic lit-up Santas straddling American roof tops, as well as the ubiquitous festive lift music… all reminding us that it’s time to start thinking about the Big C.”
“So we are making an advent calendar. Starting today, the 1st December.”
“Now, as much fun as it is just gobbling all 25 chocolates at once and then throwing the advent calendar away, we wanted to make something that gives you a reason to check in every day. So from our start in Chicago and continuing up to our grand finale in New York at Webster Hall, we have been amassing photos, video footage and strange and exciting items from the far reaches of America to go in a CHRISTMAS HAMPER for some lucky soul to win. All this, along with other stuff like free tickets and whatnot will be posted daily at fanfarlo.com”.
So there you have it. Fanfarlo are set to return to the UK in February for a full scale tour.
