Following the success of their 2006 album "Fear and Desire : The Conflict Within", Lucius Hunt kicked off their UK Tour by playing at Glasgow’s famous King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, the venue where legendary Brit Act Oasis were discovered. The tour finished in London with a gig at the lesser known venue the Jamm in Brixton. It was here that Ryan Brown was hit by a missile launched from the crowd, resulting in brief treatment in a nearby ER. Not allowing this to dampen their fighting spirit the boys have vowed to return to the UK in 2008.

Lucius Hunt toured the UK in April and May 2008, playing England, Wales and Scotland. Upon returning to Australia, the members of Lucius Hunt began work on the follow up to the cult hit album "Fear and Desire" by recording at the Hairy Lemon Studios. The band is currently recording their second, currently untitled album.
