Fun Lovin’ Criminals on the comeback trial with album tour Classic Fantastic

The multi-platinum funk soul brothers return to play the UK after a five year hiatus, with the first classic party album of the decade, featuring collaborations with Roots Manuva and Paul Kaye.

Huey, Fast and Frank have been MIA – caught up in an acrimonious legal battle with their manager who they fired in 2003.

‘Classic Fantastic’ bursts out of that gloom like a glorious sunrise shooting infinite rays over a range of shadowy mountains, as spectacularly life-affirming as the last five years have been creatively death-defying.

Huey, Fast and Frank have been MIA – caught up in an acrimonious legal battle with their first manager who they fired in 2003.
 


A party album built in a psychological bunker: Captain Fantastic hits the streets on March 1, and is a phenomenal testament to the power of unbound optimism.



“There’s this thing called Noetics,” says Huey. “Which says if everybody thinks the same good thoughts, good things will happen.

“Likewise, negative thoughts – it’s not rocket science. And we all want the same thing, to be a Fun Lovin’ Criminal.

“You have to go through hell to get to heaven and now we’re finally out from under a lot of our problems, it’s a brand new day. So let’s go out and do what we love to do.”
