Following the announcement of their Last Chance To Dance tour in September, Funeral For A Friend, famous for songs 'Streetcar', 'All The Rage' and 'Alverez', have revealed that London group Zoax will be supporting them on tour alongside Shai Hulud.
After a prolific fifteen year career and seven albums, Funeral For A Friend are calling it a day. Frontman Matthew Davies-Kreye recently said of the band's farewell: “It's the natural end. We've done everything we set out to do and way more than I could ever have hoped so I'm not upset that it's run its course.
"We all felt that ‘Chapter And Verse’ was a pretty decent full stop on an incredible fourteen and half years of making music together. So, how do you celebrate a huge part of your life? You play some shows! For me it seemed obvious to go out with both ‘Hours’ and ‘Casually Dressed..’
"I feel that both those records distill what Funeral is to a whole load of people more definitively than just piecing together a set from all the records we've made. It seems to me that those are the records that matter most and ‘Hours’ to me is my proudest achievement in music with Funeral. I don't know why but it fills me with an overwhelming sense of pride.”
