Tunng release their version of 'The Pioneers'
'He was tough and romantic as the city he loved. Beneath his black-rimmed glasses was the coiled sexual power of a jungle cat. I love this. Liverpool was his town and Tunng was his band, and they always would be.'
On 23rd January, Tunng release their version of 'The Pioneers' on Static Caravan. The single comes in two formats - a one-sided etched 7" vinyl in an edition of 750 and a four track CD that includes the long sold out debut single, 'Tale from Black'.
This is a much requested release after a life affirming 2005 for Tunng. Number 2 in the Piccadilly Records top 100 albums of 2005 chart, a finalist in the 'Album of the Year' category in Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Music Awards 2005, Bleep Music's best beats and clicks record, number 75 in Rough Trade's listings and number 2 in the Hoodlum Tribe chart.
Tunng's most recent BBC session was broadcast on Radio 1's OneMusic in November, across both the Rob da Bank and Huw Stephens shows. The band also headlined the Folkey Dokey stage at the legendary Green Man Festival in 2005 and have toured extensively with artists such as Crooked Fingers, VivaVoce, Nine Black Alps, Minotaur Shock, King Creosote, Jose Gonzalez and Doves. Phew, link overload!
There is already a 2006 Twisted Folk tour lined up, along with a showcase at SXSW in Texas and a performance at the BBC Folk Britannia show on February 4th alongside Burt Jansch and Vashti Bunyan.
Also, the 'God Bless Bloc Party' DVD is released today in the U.S. It's only available from Amazon, Tower, Virgin and the indie stores listed on thinkindie.com.
