We begin a new cultural mission - POSITIVETOUR 2010. We want to bring live sound, crazy drive and good spirits TO all corners of Ukraine, especially to smaller towns where we have never performed before, where the real concerts are very rare, and where we are possibly most needed now. Sure, we are going to visit bigger cities on the way, too. The first part of the tour is coming in the nearest days: 10.06 - Netishin, 11.06 - Rivne, 12.06 - Lutsk, 13.06 - Slavuta.
Last week the award ceremony of the third international competition of event-projects EVENTARIZATSIYA 2010 happened. MAD HEADS XL were nominated for "Best headliner" among the top 10 Ukrainian artists according to the 64 Ukrainian event agencies.
On May 24 the national premiere of MAD HEADS XL next radio single
happened. It is the song "Dobre" ("Good") from the album "FOREVER", the
most positive one on this CD, it keeps life-affirming traditions of
super hit "Nadiya yea" ("There Is Hope"), done in the rhythms of reggae
as well. It creates a light summer mood and adds optimism to which we
always miss so much. Besides the album version of the song, 2 remixes
will hit the air, done by Victor Strannik, the guy with whom the band is
traditionally working with. Demand this song on your favorite Ukrainian
radio station! "Dobre" is already eighth consecutive song from
"FOREVER" getting heavy radio airplay, which indicates the extraordinary
success of this album that has already become famous by the songs "A ya
na mori", "Naykrashcha Myt", "Buvaye", "Probky" and others. There is
also a video clip for "Dobre" song (already 6-for this album!) shot In
Buenos Aires, soon to appear on TV.
The song "Dobre" can be also
heard live in the upcoming concerts of the group. June 5 MAD HEADS XL

We are also glad to announce that the date is set for an encore concert of MAD HEADS XL with "the best songs" program. The date is 9 May.
"The best songs" concert had a lot of success, fully packed venue and maximum fun. We've been happy to recall all those songs, we'd missed them, and we had been missed by the audience pretty much. It was really the best of our plenty Docker's shows, and we already regret that this set was performed only once. So, keeping in mind that fully packed venue, we have to think about an extra show... Well, maybe sometime in May. Keep an eye for the anouncements!
Meanwhile, we are not leaving our fans alone, and invite you all to a concert of our folk project UkrainSKA, the first in this year and the only one planned so far. The show will take place at DOCKER PUB on 25 April. New songs in the set and even more drive!
For the concert on 4 April tickets are available for purchase in
advance. And we really suggest you get them early for two reasons:
first, there might be less tickets than those willing to go to the show,
and secondly, in the pre-sale tickets are cheaper than on the day of
the concert. Tickets are available in Docker Pub (str Bogatyrska 25),
and in DOCKER'S ABC (str Khreshchatyk 15 / 4, Passage).
Mad Heads XL have spent 12 weeks in the National Airplay FDR Top 40 chart with the song "Zirky znayut" ("Stars know") which the band leader Vadym Krasnooky believes to be the most romantic tune on "Forever" album. Recently the composition received the second breath on air, as the group prepared two remixes. Those were made by a well-known Kyiv's sound producer Victor Strannik, who is hidding behind the letters VS. In his portfolio there are works for Ukrainian top names such as Tartak, Gudimov, Motor'rolla, Scriabin and many other performers. Victor worked with Mad Heads XL as well, providing dance rhythms into half a dozen of their hits, including the most successful songs "A ya na mori" ("I'm at sea") and "Nadiya yea" ("There Is Hope"). And now it's "Zirky... " turn. This time Strannik made 2 versions instead of just one. And not to pick which one is better - it was decided to present both. They definitely vary in mood: the first remix is straight ahead dance, and another - quieter and closer to the lounge. So everyone can choose a track to taste.
Meanwhile, work on the clip to the song "Zirky znayut" is almost finished. Video fantasy by Igor Stekolenko must get to TV next week, which is to be announced further. Although the public has not seen the finished work yet, the band liked to work with Igor so much, that it was decided that he was to direct the next video immediately for the song "Dobre" ("Good"), which cause band's frontman Vadym Krasnooky a trip to Argentina. Sunny images of Buenos Aires is now only awaiting processing, and the finished video can be expected in several months. Some pictures from both video shootings can be viewed in the blog.
