Concert / Folk & Experimental Tunng

TUNNG are an experimental folk band which formed in 2003 in London, England. They are often associated with the folktronica genre due to the electronic influences evident in some of their work. But more than any of that, it’s just six people who get on well pooling their collective cultural and personal resources to make pop music the way they always dreamed it could sound. TUNNG have decided to call their new album : “…And Then We Saw Land” (released 1st March 2010) – and it’s full of adventurous spirit. The first Tunng album to take more than a year to write and produce, it’s packed with big choruses and joyful tunes. ​“We wanted to make a record that would be a great live set,” says Mike. ​“My friend described it as ​‘Epic Folk Disco Brass Magnificent,’ and I’m not sure you could call any other Tunng record that.” Three songs contain what the band describe as The Mega Chorus – a 15-strong group of collaborators and drinking buddies who lent their voices to the album one rainy night in an abandoned school hall in Old Street. New album ‘…And Then We Saw Land’ released 1st March 2010.
