Hadouken's Top 5's of 2006

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night in a panic, thinking that one day maybe all the good songs will have been written and there won't be any more good new music and we'll all have to listen to The Kooks.

All Ages Gig - London 17th December

We're playing a 14+ gig on the 17th of December at Canvas, London. This will be well glamour for these reasons:

1. We will be playing some new songs for the first time.
2. We will be playing some new instruments for the first time.
3. We chose the support and they are all incredible.
