GOODBYE! - We Do Kung Fu! ... 6th September 2009
… so that was that! After 17 gigs, just under 18 months of playing, writing and rehearsing, and damn good times that outweighed everything else, We Do Kung Fu! are sadly no more…
A massive “thank you!” to everyone that came along to the last gig on Friday 4th September @ The Royal Oak, in Leominster… we’ve got loads of photos, videos and unreleased mp3s to share, so hopefully we’ll put these up in the next week or so :o)
As always, thank you to everyone and anyone who has ever come along to one of our gigs, been supportive of us, offered us gigs, and helped us along the way, especially to And What Will Be Left Of Them, Dandelion Killers, Brontosaurus Chorus, Ant Chapman, Mike Marsh, Manda Rin, Marisa Gunzenhauser, James Collier, Hadley Pawsey, Brendan Stephens, Rob Parker, The Marrs Bar, The Llama Lounge, Andy O'Hare, Andrew Marston, Tom Robinson and all our mates in Leominster and Hereford... cheers!
WDKF! :o) x

----------------------
WE DO KUNG FU! were a BBC Radio featured, colourful, synth & brass-influenced electro-art-pop band, from the sleepy market town of Leominster, in Herefordshire. The 7-piece started making a racket in a lockup, near Leominster train station, in March 2008, and were all 23 years old or younger.
WDKF! received BBC Hereford and Worcester airplay from presenter/DJ Andrew Marston for promo track "Record Shop", recorded with "All Guns Blazing", produced and engineered in May ‘08 by BBC Hereford and Worcester sound engineer, Jon Marsh, at Shed Studios, in Herefordshire.
In November ‘08, the band recorded two spanking new promotional tracks, “Volume” and “… And It All Falls Down”, with the excellent Ant Chapman (Klaxons / McLusky / Bis producer + engineer) at INFX Studios, in Buckinghamshire. These tracks were mastered in January ‘09 by Mike Marsh @ The Exchange, in Camden (previously worked with Klaxons, Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Depeche Mode and Primal Scream) and are on the band’s promotional cd (… all copies have now gone, but you can listen to them on www.myspace.com/wedokungfu…)
... March '09 saw WDKF! lead promo track, "Volume", receive airplay and praise from Tom Robinson's BBC 6Music Introducing Show, Andrew Marston's BBC Hereford and Worcester "Friday Session: Introducing", and a host of positive feedback and reviews. We Do Kung Fu! played their last gig at 10pm, at The Royal Oak, in their home town of Leominster, on Friday 4th September 2009, in a sweaty room, rammed full of their friends, family and guests, dancing their little socks off until the late hours… it was bloody great and you should’ve been there.
The End.
