-The publicity activities accompanying the release of this album, along with the unusual history of Alamo Music, raised the profile of the band considerably during 2006. On [[February 7]] [[2006]] they played a half-hour session on the [[Janice Long]] show on [[BBC Radio 2]], which featured a number of live acoustic performances as well as a discussion with the band. The album release was followed by a tour of [[Barfly (club)|Barfly]] venues around Britain.

-In the autumn of 2006 they toured the UK supporting [[Embrace (British band)|Embrace]] and released the mini-album ''[[Fight Death]]''. A tour of [[Canada]] was completed in March 2007, to support the release of ''[[Experiments in Living]]'' in that country. The tour included support slots for Canadian bands [[The Marble Index (band)|The Marble Index]] and The Miniatures.
-On [[May 15]] [[2008]], it was announced by the band that they were changing their name to Hope&Social, stating "same line-up, but with a different approach and sound".  In July 2008, Hope&Social released their first EP under the new name, with a full-length album due out before the end of the year.  On [[October 7]] 2008, the band appeared on [[Channel M]], a TV station based in [[Manchester]].

-===Upcoming releases===
-Hope&Social are currently working on the first album to be released as that name.
-==Alamo Music==
-[[Alamo Music]] is Four Day Hombre's own record label, created in 2004 to release their own music.
-Though Alamo had a brief existence as being funded entirely through income produced by the band, an appeal in the autumn of 2004 to members of their mailing list lead to a number of fans of the band venturing the capital necessary to formalise the label, and to finance the recording and marketing of the debut album. They hence became shareholders in Alamo. This 'fan-funded' approach has produced significant publicity for the band in national and regional press. For example, an article concerning the label and its formation was featured on the front page of the [[BBC]] website on [[March 13]], [[2006]], the day of release of ''[[Experiments in Living]]''.
-The name Alamo was chosen in reference to the [[Battle of the Alamo]]. A quote from [[William Barret Travis]], commander of the Texan forces at this battle, is printed on the inside of ''[[Experiments in Living]]'': "I shall have to fight the enemy on his own terms."
