Firewind UK fansite is now up and running!!!

Katie'Force · April 12th, 2009, 02:45 PM

So the OFFICIAL Firewind UK fansite is now up and running!!!

http://www.myspace.com/firewindfans

If you're on myspace, check it out, add yourself to the friends list, me and Kirsty will be keeping you updated with all Firewind's activities through there, especially their UK antics!

We're also starting up a UK street team for the boys, to help promote them, especially with the upcoming tour with Stratovarius:

"Hey guys!
So it's about time we got a proper street team going to give our Firewind boys the best promotion we can!
Street teams are basically about spreading the word, making sure as many people as possible know about Firewind, even more so now they've got a tour coming up supporting Stratovarius. The next month is going to involve emailing radio stations, posting bulletins, telling everyone you meet about the band and the tour etc. For the tour itself we're working on getting some promotional materials, more details to follow when plans are finalised.
So if you're interested in helping the boys out all you need to do is send an email to this myspace (the Firewind UK fansite, not the bands official site) with your name, your myspace address, YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS (most important) and your location within the UK, put the subject of the message as STREET TEAM. Over the next few weeks I'll be sending out emails with various tasks for you to do They'll all be voluntary obviously, you can do as little or as much as you like, and if you have promotion ideas of your own do let me know (again, all emails titled STREET TEAM) and we can get everyone on it.
So let me know if you're willing to help out and lets show Firewind just how awesome their UK fans are!!!!

Katie x"

If you're interested in joining and helping our Firewind boys out then add the site as a friend on myspace and follow the instructions above, if you're not on myspace then PM me here and I'll make sure you get added to the street team and get all the task emails.

Hopefully we can give Firewind that bit extra promotion, let as many new people know about them as we can!!

DrumRman · April 12th, 2009, 09:25 PM

Moved to the top. Great job, and keep up the amazing work!

Katie'Force · April 13th, 2009, 04:18 AM

Thank you! (I take absolutely no credit for the site itself, that's all Kirsty's work, she did an awesome job!!!! I'm working on all the street team work)

sekhmet61 · April 13th, 2009, 10:24 AM

Since I dont live in the UK I can't be of much help. So I'll just wish you lots of fun, and good luck with your street team and fansite.

AngelwithHorns · April 14th, 2009, 12:29 PM

Congrats girls!!!
Kirsty you did a GREAT job!!!
Good luck with the page.

MystCat · April 14th, 2009, 07:21 PM

Oh i wish i lived in the UK i would so help out =D Well at least more american teenagers due to me know about Firewind!

Kirst-ehhh · April 21st, 2009, 01:21 PM

Thanks XD Haha.

On last.fm Glasgow is the place with the most Firewind fans (at least ones that go to Firewind gigs anyway). They outnumber the next nearest Firewind loving city (London) 2 to 1.

I like to think I had something to do with that, what with my non-stop, constant and sometimes drunken ramblings about Firewind.

The other week I got so drunk I left a shoe in my front garden and pushed a trolley home for 2 miles. But I got adds from 3 people on MySpace the next day who said they'd checked out Firewind after me mentioning them in my drunken glory. It can only be good.

xx Kirsty

Katie'Force · April 21st, 2009, 02:30 PM

hahahaha Kirsty this is why we love you!!!!

Kirst-ehhh · April 22nd, 2009, 03:54 PM

Because I get drunk and talk a lot!?

Well...yeah ^_^

That and I know what is worse than the truth.

Lies, Katie. Lies are worse.

xx Kirsty

Katie'Force · April 22nd, 2009, 05:10 PM

hahahaha kirsty you actually just made me laugh out loud!!!
You know we're gonna be stood outside the venue in London shouting Lies!!! and Orange, don't forget orange... we should so get Firewind an orange this time

oooh and Gay for Harold Bishop!

ah the memories...

lol

Ah, Gazz eated it

Us: "How did you like your orange".
Gazz: "The knife was a little much".

As much as that day ROCKED. I *did* miss my flight home. So bad memories overshadow the good ones a little bit!!!

Speaking of that boy, he put me on the guestlist for the Alestorm show in Glasgow. It's on Monday I think. Huzzah! I saw that the show in Peterborough is like £5.50 in pirate costume!!!! That's amazing!!! It's like £11 for a ticket up here. And no incentive to dress up >.<

Gay for Harold Bishop!!!!! <3

xx Kirsty

haha to be honest i think the plate was a little too much never mind the knife!

And yes, missing your flight wasn't the best thing to do, we must make sure we don't miss any flights or trains in may!!!! Still, at least it was the flight home and not the flight to the gig you missed...

See, I stupidly bought a bloody ticket for the Leeds Alestorm gig, then found out my mates are supporting so I could have got it cheaper from the them, THEN Chris just decides to give guest list to anyone who asks. Pish! Ah well, I get to see them on saturday then again on wed

(and you know I'm just gonna shout 'Gay for Harold Bishop' at Gazz)

Kirst-ehhh · April 24th, 2009, 11:02 PM

Haha yeah.

I learned a valueble lesson. Don't drink pitchers of cocktails. Don't mix your drinks. And don't down pints of cider.

I knew all 3 of these things before...but still ended up doing them. And you know who I blame?

No, not myself. Not Gazz.

WETHERSPOONS!!!

xx Kirsty

Katie'Force · April 26th, 2009, 11:44 AM

Hahahaha I saw Gazz at Hammerfest this weekend, I love that boy even more now, he's hilarious, his game 'get in the photo' had me on the floor in giggles!!!

Katie'Force · April 26th, 2009, 11:44 AM

Oh I also met the booking agent for the Firewind tour at Hammerfest, really nice guy, so should be seeing him around on the tour

Kirst-ehhh · April 26th, 2009, 02:47 PM

Good God Katie, you and your epic networking skillz!!!

ƒ1r3w1nÐzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!

< 20 days now...

xx Kirsty

Katie'Force · April 26th, 2009, 02:55 PM

Hahaha oh i've got some stories to tell of people i've met this weekend at Hammerfest!!!!!!
I'm currently booking trains/hotels, will myspace you in a bit with details

Haha! Fucking epic!

Wait...I remember you from the MySpace...Catherine Morris?

Kept meaning to ask...you're Michaels sister right?

*stalkerzzzzz* XD

xx Kirsty

Katie'Force · April 30th, 2009, 06:48 PM

Hahahaha she is indeed Michael's sister, small world huh?

I also officially love my new nickname!

Kirst-ehhh · May 1st, 2009, 05:18 AM

Haha, that might have been my bulletin about Firewind fans being gorgeous? Lol!!!

The way I met Michael was TOTALLY random as. Me and Alan were in Nottingham in April 2007 to see Firewind and we got to the Travelodge at 2pm (an hour before we could check in) and we met Michael and Fi in the bar of the Travelodge. We ended up getting steamin' and watching Metalocalypse in their room and heading to the gig/aftershow together.

Good times.

Mon the Firewind!!!

xx Kirsty

Katie'Force · May 1st, 2009, 12:37 PM

And then you met me at the aftershow

I still giggle at Petros shouting 'fuck you man' across the room

Lt. Hellraiser · May 18th, 2009, 02:59 AM
