We Smoke Fags decided to take a permanent hiatus

A post from Joey from We Smoke Fags:

"Hello, Joey here...
I'm sorry to say that We Smoke Fags have decided to take a permanent hiatus- we never split up, but over the last 6 months we have all individually been working on other projects.
I'd like to say on behalf of all of us - the last three years have been amazing and thank you for your all your support.
We Smoke Fags never really had much exposure in the mainstream music press, yet somehow we managed to gain almost 3 million individual myspace plays, play all over the world (sorry if we didn't make it to your country), release a single and confuse some people along the way... Not bad work for a band that started for fun one 2006 afternoon in a Stockwell bedroom.

What now?

I have formed a new band called Verb Gang...
Lee is currently playing bass with New Young Pony Club.
Harry is forming a new band in the near future but can be found dj-ing his selection of 'Party Classics' in London under the We Smoke Fags banner...

We Smoke Fags

We Smoke Fags - Eastenders EP (June 16, 2008)

If you are deep into New Rave, probably you will always face the problem of having not enough music. It's a newly born music style and many bands are just starting. And while we wait for the second album of Klaxons, you can listen to newly created bands. And imagine, they are just starting and you can follow them now, from their very first record! What a luck!

We love you, UK! We Smoke Fags - this is the name of another british band that surely could appear in the headlines of all New Rave content. In 2008 they released their first EP - Eastenders.
Consisting of only 2 songs, it promises a great debut album. The single Eastenders is what dance-punk lovers need. With unexpected lyrics, it's a song that you can easily sing along and no doubt can be the hit in the clubs.
Too much money
Not enough intellect..


I sympathize I sympathize
with you
I made my mind, i made my mind
on you
With the lyrics they will surely never win Arctic Monkeys, but you can not call them stupid or senseless. And the band shoot a really rocking video on the song. Bravi!


There is one more song in the EP called Canape Of Love. It's not too impressive, although easy to remember. Comparing to Eastenders, you will probably ignore this song in your playlist of favourites.
Unfortunatelly, the band doesn't have an official web page and there is no content on Wiki, so I guess the band is not active now. But you can find their profile on MySpace.
So, if you are new to New Rave, Eastenders will probably be added to your favourites after you hear it! Waiting for the debut album..
Yours truly, Gaya
