Last Thursday The Genuine Fakes performed on the Viking Cindarella cruiseferry together with 4 other bands in the Jack Rocks final.

Jack Rocks is a competition for rock bands. As usual we truly rawked but powerpop and rock are two quite different genres so we did not really stand a chance in the competition against the other rock bands. The worthy winners were instead the Mando Diao-inspired rock band The Fast Forwards >> and their act was genuinely cool.

The event was really nice and we met loads of nice people so hopefully we gained a few fans anyway.

Thanks to Jack Daniels for the support and excellent arrangements.

Hello fakers!
Just wanted to remind you all about the Songbox Fan Crusade that we mentioned in the last post. Become a fan on Facebook to help us get two songs on a compilation album!

Hello fakers!

Hope you all had a safe holiday.

Did you know that we’ve got our very own band page on Facebook? Just log on to your Facebook account and make a search for The Genuine Fakes, or just follow this link and click on “Become a fan” to get the latest updates, listen to our music, check out fan photos etc.

It would be a great help to us also because we’re in a competition where the bands with the most “fans” on Facebook gets to have two songs on a compilation album due out in a couple of months.

Cheers!

Hello fakers!

First of all - a huge thanks to all of you who has gone to Rockbjörnens MySpace-pris and nominated us. We really appreciate it. And if you haven’t done it yet, it’ll only take up a minute of your time.

Now on to the next thing. Last night we played in Karlstad in the Jack Rocks competition hosted by Jack Daniel’s. Johnny was unable to play with us so we rearranged a few of the songs with Tommy playing percussion instead of keyboards and managed to pull through quite alright despite the circumstances. Quite unexpectedly we won this round and qualified to the finals in January. So book a cruise at Viking Cinderella on 29 January and join the party!
