You are now looking at Version Two of More Than Good Hooks [dot] com! As you can see from the layout, this is quite an overhaul from our previous one which was very simple and a tad all over the place. We’re excited for the change and hope you are, too.

Firstly, we would like to give a massive shoutout to Julia Zave for allowing us to use the awesome photo she took which now serves as our sidebar header image. The original image had the exact vibe we were after for the site, so we thank you for that!

Secondly, the announcement will be postponed until further notice due to circumstances beyond our control but we will inform you of it eventually.

The new MTGH also sees some new features being added to the site, find out more and read all about it in this blog entry.

There have been several updates since you last heard from us and here’s what’s new on MTGH (bear in mind we still have more to add in time to come):

Apologies if it seems as though we are MIA-ing rather frequently – trust us, that’s never the case cos we’re here to stay. We hope you’ve been enjoying our PATD & SINGfest videos up on our YouTube channel over the past couple of weeks. The Lostprophets photos from SINGfest have been uploaded to the gallery, click on any of the images below to view the album.

Fort Canning Park, Singapore
2nd August 2008, SINGfest

You may or may not notice this but we have finally added some of our ticket stub scans of shows we’ve attended in Malaysia, Singapore and Australia which you may view here. Got some that are not up in the gallery? Why not send them our way? Contact us via the usual methods and we shall add & credit you for them.

So what exactly have we been up to? Planning, attending to our other web projects and just keeping the site up to date. General maintenance, if you will.

That said, here’s what you can look forward to in the coming days/weeks:

• Panic At The Disco audio bundle
• Launch of first street team
• First MTGH contest
• Interview with one of the bands featured in our list of recommendations
• More photos & videos from past shows in Jakarta (think My Chemical Romance, The Used, Lostprophets, OneRepublic, Fall Out Boy, Simple Plan, Hoobastank, Panic At The Disco) once we get clearance and approval from the owners

We may also put up the Panic videos for download sometime, but we ain’t promising anything just yet.

Photos and videos from Day 1 of SINGfest last Saturday (Crowned King, New Found Glory, Melee, Simple Plan) as well as those from the Panic At The Disco concert on the 5th are up now in the gallery and on our YouTube channel. More will be added in days to come so be sure to keep checking back.

Lostprophets photos from SINGfest are currently up on my fansite PushJive.com and they too will be added to the MTGH gallery shortly.

We have also updated our blog and changed its layout, check that out as well. If you’re one of those who found out about our site from when we saw you on the train – come say hi and leave us comments!
