Evening all,

Hope you're all well. Sorry Not blogged much. To update you on what we're doing, we are spending the rest of the year writing and making demos for our next album. We have written a lot of songs since Radio:ACTIVE and started recording some of them earlier in the year in Sydney. There were a couple of songs that really stood out above the rest and in the recording sessions we realized that we'd found a new direction that we thought could be really interesting and different. 

So since then we've been focussing on writing. We never want to just go through the motions of the writing and recording process and always want to push ourselves to be the best band we can be. We know these new songs we're writing and developing are going to be the best we've ever made and will blow you away. 

We're really thinking outside the box and are planning some amazing things so bare with us. It'll all be worthwhile. 

Tom

McFly’s Star Girl will be played in space!!!  That’s right in an amazing sequence of events that started with just one tweet followed by a wave of re-tweets from McFly fans,  30 secs of McFly’s ‘Star Girl’ will be played on the international space station currently orbiting the earth.   Even as we write this we can’t quite believe it’s true – I mean come on… how often do you get to tell the world that your favourite song is getting played 1000’s of miles into space – it’s stellar news!

 

The song will be played on October 21st at 11.30am EDT to the astronauts aboard the international space station and is part of a NASA ‘tweetup’ where 35 people will get to talk to the astronauts via twitter.

 

Back here on earth NASA TV and website will be giving live coverage of the event including showing the full length video of McFly’s ‘Star Girl’  You can hook up with NASA at www.nasa.gov/home/ 

 

Get the champagne supernovas at the ready – the galaxy is about to be introduced to McFly!

McFly are currently one of the busiest bands on the planet, but you could win the chance to spend some of that precious time with them. Tom, Danny, Harry and Dougie have just been named as mentors of the 2009 Celebrity Master Class programme run by Santander’s UK current account brands Abbey and Alliance & Leicester, and they will be hosting a very special master class giving tips on how to break into the music industry. So, it would be educational and massively exciting. Tom says of the scheme, "We have been very fortunate to have had good advice and great people working with us since we started out. We’ve had seven number one singles, two number one albums and now our own record label. We’ve learned and been educated about the music industry over the years and look forward to passing that on through the Santander Mentor programme." Excited? The Master Class Programme is open to new and existing Abbey 16-18 and Student Bank Account holders, and Alliance & Leicester’s Premier 21 Current Account holders. For more information on how you can win a spot on the Master Class and spend the day with the band, go to www.prem21.co.uk
