The first official 51/50s T-shirt is finally here and was designed by an awesome Helsinki based clothing brand called Fred Sandiego. It’s time to show off your inner insanity boys and girls!

And that’s not all… as a little bonus we will give a free download of our new unreleased acoustic track “Just One Man” for everyone who buys the shirt. The track is not available anywhere else at the moment, so here’s your chance to get a glimpse of our upcoming musical endeavors.

Today is a very special day for 51/50s. Our debut album Dangerous State Of Mind is finally released and available on all major online music stores. The album delivers 11 tracks of true rock ‘n’ roll vibe, tumbling riffs and monster choruses. Massive thanks to all the people who have made all this possible. And fans… we love you, the party starts right now!!!

So we’re back from our first ever tour outside UK. The Finland tour was an awesome experience and we had loads of fun playing there, massive thanks to everyone who came to see us! We have some tour photos up on our Flickr profile and also on our Facebook page, be sure to check them out.

Cheers,
51/50s

Last Friday, March 27th 2009, BBC news reported about the biggest loss in UK corporate history (£28 billion). They also made a little montage about the situation and used “Lies” as the background tune… which is of course very very awesome. Thanks a lot BBC =)

We’ll be capturing some moments along the way as we record our acoustic album, so keep checking back! Also, listen carefully when Rikki tries his best to pronounce the names of the Last.fm challenge winners. Thanks again to all who participated, this one’s for you.

We all had a good time afterward as well, bringing the new vibe to Dereham town. It was good to see all the boys and girls out on the lash with us! Neway, I’ll stop boring everyone. Cheers and hope to play there again soon!

Remember to keep up to date with all our social networking sites, and keep spreading the word about our single ‘Lies’ out on the 26th January and our debut album to follow. Get on the New Vibe!

Thank you so much to everyone, who participated in the challenge. We got a huge amount of plays in a short time from a relatively small amount of people. And can you imagine that there was one single participant, who accounted for almost half of the total plays of the whole challenge! Thank you Eva (aka hebah64) from Spain, you are awesome! All the winners are listed below and they will be contacted through Last.fm during the next couple of days and they will get some pretty sweet prizes, such as a limited edition Lies CD-single (only 150 copies ever made) and a 51/50s T-shirt. The top 3 will also receive our debut album Dangerous State of Mind as soon as it hits the stores in June.

The album is in the mixing stage as well and will be out in the new year along with the ‘Lies’ single, so everyone can go out and start getting on the new vibe via the 51/50s!! Anyway, hope to catch you guys at some gigs soon and I’m so glad to be back playing again, because its been hell not being able to rock out, especially at the live shows, see everyone soon!!!

Rocking on,
Ollie
