Fun Lovin Criminals are set to go on tour in the UK and Ireland next year over February and March.

The multi-platinum New York group celebrated the 20th anniversary of their debut album Come Find Yourself this year, and true to their hashtag #LoveYaBack, the Crims are feeling the love from the fans, so are doing it all again after a massive anniversary year.

Fun Lovin’ Criminals burst onto the music scene in 1996, gate crashing the euphoric Brit-pop party with unforgettable finesse. Heralded for their generation defining blend of styles and effortless New York cool, FLC’s refreshing cocktail of rock n’ roll, funk, blues, soul, hip hop, jazz and latin, gave the Crims a unique timelessness that is still apparent three decades on.

The band now consists of Huey Morgan, Brian ‘Fast’ Lesser and Fran Benbini.

We managed to catch up with Fast as he talked about the upcoming tour, new music, funnest moment on tour and more!
