Fun Lovin’ Criminals: ‘Korean Bodega’
100% Colombian arrived in 1998 and featured one of the band’s best-known singles, ‘Korean Bodega’. The album followed the band’s breakout record Come Find Yourself , which contained their biggest single ‘Scooby Snacks’.
“It will be an honour to perform the songs from 100% Colombian to our fans,” Fast, the band’s sole surviving original member, said in a statement. “This album holds a special place in their hearts and we are committed to delivering unforgettable performances while bringing a fresh energy to the stage.”
Former frontperson Huey Morgan departed the band in 2021. Fast is now the lead vocalist. “Huey has officially confirmed his departure from the band. We wish him all the best with his endeavours,” the band wrote in a statement. “We will continue as Fun Lovin’ Criminals because of the love and dedication we have for our music and our fans.”
