![]() ![]() Despite feeling that the internet and social media have contributed, in part, to the music industry “fizzling out a long time ago”, Fury does recognise the internet as integral to Fireballs' current career. Ironically Fury, a self-confessed Facebook addict, spends a lot of time on the internet not only updating the Fireballs' Facebook page, but networking and making contacts around the world. Then they go to gigs, and go, 'how come there's no-one here?' Well, there's no-one here because they're all talking on Facebook and not paying attention to the gig that's happening right in front of them!” he insists. ![]() People are quite happy being on Facebook and social media having a bitch and a moan. If I had to do that at this point, in my life I'd be dead! That being said, I don't really think that sort of thing happens that much anymore. It doesn't leave much time for down time. I don't really envy people that do 322 gigs in a year. ![]() “Time flies when you're having fun! We pretty much do what we like at the moment, which is different than what we did in the '90s, touring incessantly and having to do a million and one shows in a year and totally burning ourselves out. “It doesn't seem like 22 years,” Fury confides. On the face of it, very little would appear to have changed for this veteran of the Australian psychobilly scene. It's 11am on a Saturday morning in Victoria, and Fury is sitting on a property in country Victoria, surrounded by friends, sipping cocktails and eating pizza, ready to engage full-throttle with his second day straight of partying. The sound of laughter and clinking glasses comes through loud and clear as Eddie Fury picks up the phone. ![]()
