Fun Lovin' Criminals' Navan Date arrives

New York's Fun Lovin' Criminals hit Navan this Easter Saturday, 3rd April at The Palace, Navan, for what promises to be one of the biggest gigs this year to hit Meath. Tickets have been going fast, but the Palace have held a small number of tickets back for sale on the night. "We anticipated that people might hold back available till the weekend of the gig, and have kept a limited amount of tickets for sale on the door on the night," Jonathan Leonard from The Palace says. Tickets for this special show are €25 and are available from Ticketmaster or for the late arrivals on the door. Formed in New York in 1993 by nightclub-working colleagues Huey and Fast, FLC gate-crashed the euphoric Britpop party in 1996 and brought along some unexpectedly unique swag, the generational classic album 'Come Find Yourself' Huey, at 27, was an ex-con, charismatic New York smooth-talker with Irish/Puerto Rican roots and immaculately tended goatee. The mid-to late 90s was a twirling martini cocktail of world travel, acclaim and phenomenal album sales, including three weeks as support on the US PopMart tour with U2 in 1997, through second album '100% Colombian' (1999, featuring their Barry White eulogy 'Love Unlimited') and the early 2001 release of third album 'Loco' (its eponymous lead single also featured on a Miller beer commercial). The trio, now all relocated to the UK, have left the cartoon New York netherworld behind for a colossal outdoors party, creating a self-produced summertime classic recorded in their London studio. 'Classic Fantastic' is the first classic, fantastic, party album of the brand new decade.
