At the start of last year, Fenech Soler announced on their social media they were working on a new album. After numerous updates throughout last year saying it was nearly done, they went pretty quiet this year.
A couple of weeks ago they announced the album was complete and they were going to be playing some gigs in the near future. The new promo photos only had Ben and Ross on them though which raised the question, have Dan and Andrew left the band?
It was confirmed a couple of days ago that they have both left the band and Ben and Ross would carry on as a duo, with additional musicians for the live shows.
Ironically the band named themselves after Dan's surname, which is Fenech Soler. They are keeping the name though, Ben and Ross's surname is Duffy and that names already taken.
Aside from festivals, I believe the last time they played a gig in the UK was in 2013 when I went to see them at Shepherds Bush Empire. I would highly recommend going to see them, they are very good live and sound better than they do on the albums. They are also a band who don't do encores which is a good thing in my opinion.
For those in London, they will be playing at Oslo in Hackney on October 27th. Sadly I won't be able to go myself, but if you're free that night then get yourself down there.
