‘LIVING FOR THE WEEKEND’
RELEASED 19 TH SEPTEMBER 2005 THROUGH NECESSARY / ATLANTIC

Following the top 10 success of their swaggering anthem ‘Hard To Beat’, Hard-Fi prepare to release their new single ‘Living For The Weekend’.

The title says it all: ‘Living For The Weekend’ is an hedonistic blast of guitar riffs and synth stabs, documenting the grinding out of nine-to-fives in pursuit of that Friday night clubbing buzz craved by a whole generation of British society. For Hard-Fi the setting is Staines, tipping a nod to the town’s infamous night club Cheekees, but this is a song for anyone in any town. As front man Richard Archer sings: “Oh yeah, I look around me and I can see. This room is full of people like me. All living for the weekend

‘Living For The Weekend’ is taken from Hard-Fi’s debut album ‘Stars Of CCTV’. Recorded in the band’s own Cherry Lips studio (a converted cab office on an out of town industrial estate near Staines) and co-produced by Richard Archer and long time cohort Wolsey White, ‘Stars Of CCTV’ was released on 4 th July to huge critical and commercial acclaim. Racking up superlative after superlative, the album entered the UK album charts at number 6 (the week’s highest new entry), has been short listed for the Mercury Prize and has sold over 50,000 copies in a fortnight.

Hard-Fi are currently on tour in America on a jaunt that includes shows at Lollapalooza and San Diego’s Street Scene Festival and will be playing at Manumission’s 11 th birthday celebrations in Ibiza on 5 th August.
