Having cleared a large backlog of songs on the band’s first two albums and various B-sides, for their third Darren Hayman wrote a new set of songs, loosely themed around love in the capital city. “We Love the City was Hefner’s commercial and creative peak. And four tracks from We Love The City made it to Peel’s Festive 50 at the end of the year: The Greedy Ugly People #7, The Day That Thatcher Dies #12, Good Fruit #15, Painting And Kissing #44. On 26th August 2000 Good Fruit, the first single to be taken from the album, peaked at number 50 in the ACTUAL charts!! 28th October 2000 the album peaked at number 92 in the album charts. ![]() The Hefner 20th anniversary vinyl reissue program has been a little delayed, but it’s worth the wait! Hefner’s third long player, We Love The City was initially released on 16th October 2000 and will be getting a vinyl re-issue (on cult indie label wiaiwya) on.
