Btw been meaning to say a big thank you to everyone who came to a gig, bought a record, downloaded one of our songs last year. It means a lot. I'm sure I'll get your thanks via email for sound tracking your 2009, getting you through the breakups, assisting in your makeups and giving you epic beats to dance to. Don't mention it.

You'll be pleased to know them:youth were good boys all year and Santa did indeed visit the band over the Christmas period. "What was in your stockings?" I hear you ask! ONE BIG FAT RECORD COMPANY! thats what!

Them:youth are going all business entrepreneurs on your arses. Thats right we have ourselves our own record label, Big Hand Recordings Ltd. It's all legit, I have a desk with my name on it and everything! I'm still playing around with the suit, ponytail and cigar ensemble that is an essential look for any budding record company exec. As of three weeks ago we started recording what will be an epic debut album.

We'll be setting up and launching all kinds of ideas via the them:youth:youth:club so keep your ears and eyes peeled.

Ilan & the boys
