The rules are all the same, it's just a different game

If you are good at gig photography and want to get the chance to shoot McFly on one of their US gigs, leave us an e-mail! As a successful-enough fansite you can apply for a photopass, and that's what we've done. But obviously, we don't live in the US so we're looking for two people to photograph for us. E-mail us at contact@missionmcfly.com and tell us something about yourself, your motivation, your type of camera (and if you can, some example photos) and which gig you'll be attending in September.

If we manage to get a photopass for each gig, we'll choose two of you (our apologies Sven!), one for each gig, who can go and bring their professional camera into the venue for some good concert photography.

Wanna fly through gridlocked traffic? Get a bike

That's what one British rock musician has just done. Forget the stretch limos, McFly's Harry Judd has bought a bike.

McFly drummer Harry Judd bought a bike specifically to beat traffic.

Earlier today he tweeted:

"I woke up Sat morning and didn't want to sit in traffic. So I bought a bike..."

The winner of the 2011 series of BBC's Strictly Come Dancingdoesn't care what his fellow band members think of his transport choice:

"So I cycled to rehearsals. I got called a w#*k*r twice and a d%*k head but I carried on smiling as I shot past the traffic..."

Judd is on to a good thing. Stretch limos - just like all other four wheel motor vehicles - are going to get increasingly stuck in snarl-ups. A report in Belgian newspaper Le Soir today revealed that travel time in the headquarter city of the European Union will increase by 45 percent within three years, with the average speed for cars dropping to just 9mph.

That's so slow many cyclists would fall off at that speed.

Harry did mention that he got papped on his way home... we're still on the out look for those pictures!

And guess who else is as excited as Perez Hilton for the McFly US gigs?

McFly Announces First U.S. Tour Dates

After years of waiting, American fans of the British pop/rock band McFly will finally get to see the band on stage in the U.S. On July 6, the group announced that it will play two intimate gigs at Los Angeles' Roxy Theatre (Sept. 10) and New York City's Gramercy Theatre (Sept. 13).

"We just want to go over and do some small shows for the fans that we know we have there," McFly's co-lead singer and guitarist Tom Fletcher told Billboard.com in April. "We've been wanting to do that for years and years and years and years. But we've just never had the opportunity, or something else has come up."

McFly Talks Coming to America, New Music & One Direction

Though the group has been successful in their homeland, they've yet to cross the pond -- so to speak. The act has claimed 17 top 10 singles and six top 20 albums on the Official U.K. charts since their debut in 2004. However, the band has never toured America, and only properly released one album: 2006's "Just My Luck."

"We have some fans in America that have been fans for like eight or nine years -- right from the beginning -- so much so that they fly over to see us in the U.K.," said Fletcher. "It's amazing that they are so dedicated. So I think we owe it to them to come over."

McFly is currently at work on its sixth studio album, the follow-up to 2010's "Above the Noise," which spawned the act's longest-charting U.K. single, "Shine a Light" (featuring Taio Cruz). It spent 16 weeks on the tally, peaking at No. 8.

And as always, we've added a bunch of new pictures to our gallery. Click on the thumbnails to see all!
