NEW YORK (Drive-Thru Records) - When the going gets tough, the tough go unplugged in the dark. That's the message from New Found Glory, whose quick thinking turned a technical snafu into one of their most memorable concerts ever. It's all caught on the band's new concert DVD "This Disaster: Live In London" filmed at London's Forum Club this past August. The 2-hour DVD, jam-packed with behind-the-scenes extras, arrives in stores November 23, and lists for $14.98.
As seen on the DVD, as part of the bonus footage, the electrical power suddenly went out.
Instead of freaking, the band continued to entertain the audience in the dark, performing songs acoustically. Fans will be able to see that magic moment as part of the menu program under the section called "This Disaster."
Among the tracks included on the DVD: "The Truth Of My Youth," "Your Biggest Mistake," "Understatement," "It's Been A Summer, "2's And 3's," "Dressed To Kill," "Hit Or Miss, "I Don't Wanna Know," "Failure's Not flattering," "Forget My Name," "This Disaster," "My Friends Over You, "Some Thing To Call Personal," "The Story So Far," "Better Of Dead," "Sucker," "Sonny," "All Downhill From Here" and "Head On Collision."
New Found Glory enjoyed a Top 5 Billboard debut with their new CD "Catalyst," which shipped gold earlier this year. The album's debut single "All Downhill From Here" was a No 1 most added record at Modern Rock radio. Their most recent single Failure's Not Flattering (What's Your Problem)" was another Modern Rock hit. The video and single for "I Don't Wanna Know" are currently being released.
The band's one-hour MTV2 concert special airs Nov 8th During "Spankin' New Music Week". Meanwhile, NFG is set to hit the road for an extensive U.S. Tour with Green Day Fall, starting October 19th in Fort Worth, TX.
New Found Glory hails from Coral Springs, Florida and is comprised of singer Jordan Pundik, drummer Cyrus Bolooki, bassist Ian Grushka, and guitarists Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein. First formed in 1997, NFG launched their recording career with 1999's "Nothing Gold Can Stay," followed by their 2000 EP "From The Screen To Your Stereo," 2001's gold-certified self-titled album, and 2002's nearly platinum "Sticks and Stones."
