Tweet! twitter.com/#!/fiNuk/status/171349898124472323 Surreal day today... You will see & hear all about it soon enough! A secret well worth the wait Any theories? Personally I think, seeing as we've had a vid of "Rapture" out long before the single release, that they've shot another! Whether it'll be "Twenty Three" or "Eve" I have no clue.... *excited*

Okay, so the big news is that fiN will be Rihanna's band for her performance tonight at the Brits! This is going to be the first PRO-SHOT of our boys playing live! Be sure to catch them, they're on at 9:30 GMT on ITV1 ! I'm checking if I can find a stream online somewhere.

A band called fiN goes to the Brits. Before: After: To anyone who hasn't seen the Brit Awards tonight; you're probably wondering what the hell happened! The guys were invited to be Rihanna's on-stage band for her performance at the award show. There wasn't a lot of screen-time, because right after the intro the glass-boxes that the band was playing in were being painted from the inside by dancers. Who else was laughing their asses off when the dancers started spraying paint on the boys? I sure did! What a shame to be all covered so quickly, but I hope they had a great experience playing on an award-stage. Perhaps next year for Best Breakthrough? A friend has recorded the performance for me, so I'll see if I can share it somewhere!

Uploaded the performance, recorded by the brilliant James, in the Front of House section! Our boys are getting quite some cam-time, thankfully. Who else is amazed at Luke's hair-do surviving the ordeal? ^.^ I'm glad to see the guys had some quality networking-time backstage. Apparently Noel Gallagher pointed out that he loves their work and these two twitpics just popped up too! The boys and Rihanna: Luke passing Rihanna a copy of what looks like both vinyls:

This just popped up on the Facebook page of fiN: Guessing the next vid will be "Eve" then! Woohoooooo! LOVED that when they played it live in the Borderline. Can't wait to see what the boys are coming up with.

I've been so busy this week! And of course loads has happened. Let's sum up! New tourdates have been confirmed. Our boys are heading over to Texas, USA in March to visit the SXSW Festival where they'll play several slots. Then they'll head over to LA to the Viper Room for two gigs. Perhaps these are showcases? Fun trivia fact: This is the same venue where Muse scored their Maverick record deal in 1999! Afterwards they'll of course be back in the UK for the third single release party (we need to find a cool acronym or abbreviation for this!) to launch Eve/Twenty-Three from which the former the music video has been shot this week! The video will be released later on and of course be posted here as well. Then start of July a slot at a festival in Kent. Then in July, Incubus has decided to come back to Europe and re-visit the places they had to cancel because of illness, and they've invited fiN along again! Personally, I could not be more happy to see them back in Amsterdam - this was the gig that got me into fiN at the first place. All the dates will be posted in the Queue section shortly. Let us know where you're going! I leave you now with this stunning shot of Luke which has just been posted on twitter - from the upcoming Eve music video.

Hey! I've been awol, up to my head with work and other stuff lately, but I'm going to update the board soon. Right now, just a few minutes ago the boys dropped this off our doorsteps, before they drove on towards LA for their gigs at the Viper Room. PROPER ROCK people, PROPER ROCK! www.youtube.com/watch?v=odswOLjYrP0Enjoy the new track, and vid (!) for Twenty Three!!

Well!!! Bush Hall was quite something, no?? I'm still recovering from the amazing concert. As I said to the boys - definitely TOP NOTCH. Screamed my head off at every song and the visuals paired with the lighting and the FRIKKIN LASORS made it all so, so perfect. Not to forget the venue was absolutely PACKED! Was also great to meet new friends whom I've only talked to through twitter before, thanks for the lovely chats: Paola, Eva, Sophie and Laura! Right now I'm steadily updating the forum with the interviews that went online before the gig, and the reviews that came after it. I also picked up these two rehearsal sessions filmed by Roland that are lovely to see. Luke's voice doesn't seem completely warmed-up to me, but he sang absolutely spot-on at the gig! The instrumental side is plain flawless. So check out the Front Of House section for new reviews, interviews and even a posting in the Evening Standard. Yay!! Twenty-Three Everybody Dies Alone

Personal fan moment! Two of my favourite drummers being all chummy! Aren't they just gorgeous? From Zildjian's twitter account: Source: twitter.com/#!/ZildjianCompany/status/192995283255296001/photo/1 Look who I bump'd into last night @dominic_Howard of @muse checkin out new Brit band @finuk & drummer SimonFor those unaware, Dominic from Muse is the one who mainly picks the support bands for Muse's tours.... It's been the second sighting of him at a fiN gig.... YOU connect the dots? I certainly am crossing my fingers for our boys, bagging a support act like that would be great!

Updates!Boys have been busy. They have been spotted last week in guitarists Jonny's house to record some acoustics, actively asking around on Twitter what the fans would like to hear covered by them. Curious to see if these recordings will be available one day, would be very nice to hear. Lots of funny and teasing pictures were posted, including this one of Luke in his never-ending quest of playing in every "toilet". While they are off now to support Howler for a number of gigs (click here to see the schedule), this didn't stop them from headlining at the free festival "Fulham Fest" @ Under the Bridge on the 27th of April, and also having a slot at "Camden Crawl Festival" on May the 5th! Fulham Fest - photo: @cupkaykie And it's not over yet; festival-wise the season's just starting. On the 19th of May they will have a slot at Sound City in Liverpool. If you're heading there, go check them out! Website: www.liverpoolsoundcity.co.uk/www.liverpoolsoundcity.co.uk/finWhile you're around, check out the latest additions to gig and single reviews in the Front of House section. We've added a couple from the amazing single release party at Bush Hall, London, and a few random good reads like this in-depth interview with Luke and Simon from the Huff Post: finfans.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=archives&thread=73Also, check out the Facebook page created by, and for Italian fans of fiN: www.facebook.com/fiNItalianfanpageNice work, Stef and Paola! fiN @ The Viper Room, LA. Photo: Dana HawleyAs site-updates go, we're in the process of creating a proper Wikipedia entry. If you have anything useful to add please don't hesitate to mail anything noteworthy to finfans@hotmail.com Lastly, we've created a twitter account where we can easily post updates: @finfans Until the next update here at fiNfaNs! -Marissa
