Hadouken! are a band based in London, England. The band consists of James Smith (vocals), Daniel "Pilau" Rice (guitar, backing vocals), Alice Spooner (synths, backing vocals), Chris Purcell (bass) and Nick Rice (drums). The band formed after James Smith and Daniel "Pilau" Rice met at Leeds University, where they set up their own Label, Surface Noise Records. After forming the label, Smith began writing and demoing the first Hadouken! tracks, forming the band in 2006 with Rice, Pilau's brother Nick and Smith's girlfriend Alice Spooner. In February 2007 Hadouken! released a two song vinyl with the song "That Boy That Girl", which gained popularity after the video, directed by friend Bob Harlow, made it onto MTV2. Shortly after the video, the band added bassist Chris Purcell.
After releasing their 12-track mixtape "Not Here To Please You" on November 12, 2007 featuring originals and remixes, the band returned to the studio to complete their debut album, 'Music For an Accelerated Culture.' which is to feature nine new songs as well as the single "Liquid Lives".
The band's name comes from a special move - a throwing fireball attack called "the Hadouken" (surge fist) – in the video game "Street Fighter".
They released their debut album 'Music For An Accelerated Culture' on May 5th 2008.
