TUNNG TICKET GIVEAWAY

The first and only time I saw Tunng was last time they played at Vega a couple of years back. It was either a Sunday or Monday show from which I expected nothing more than a standard SundayMonday show. Tunng proceeded to humbly rattle my insides and touch me in dark places I tell no-one about. I was in love. The show was so good that I even went on myspace and wrote a fan letter. And I’m over 16. I’m very very very excited that they’re making the dash – ash permitting – over the straight and blessing us with their presence once again and thanks to VME we’ve got a few extra tickets you can get.

IF YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS TEXT YOU’RE PRETTY MUCH HALF WAY TO SOME FREE TICKETS FOR THE GIG THIS SUNDAY

Below is a press release (Danish) that I can’t be bothered to translate, and google will more than likely fuck it up but it covers the fact that Tunng have just released an album (yes I’m lying, the press release is a few weeks old) but either way, I have it (Thanks Allan) and it’s a wondrous journey bla bla bla GO TO THIS SHOW!! Tunng is a crazy mix of acoustic melodies, electronic-folk and random instrument sounds including kids toys, bits and pieces found on the beach and a real live laptop or 2.

To make it easier for you we’ll give away 3 double passes for this Sunday’s show in Lille Vega.

To win one of these double passes all you have to do is post a comment below quoting your favourite Tunng lyrics. Actually, since that’s not at all very friendly for virgin listeners I’m gonna change it. Just post a comment explaining why (keep it short moron) you should win these tickets. Any mention of volcano’s are automatically disqualified.

Here’s an example:
Bob: ” I should win those tickets because I’m stuck in a bla bla ash bla volcano bla bla death to Iceland”
Bitchslap: “Unfortunately you are disqualified”

Mary: “I should win because I’m a princess and even though we get lots of things for free we’re never allowed to win anything”
Bitchslap: “Ok Mary – you win!”

Here’s a couple of my favourites to whet your appetite.

Danish press release
Tunngs kommende album bærer titlen …And Then We Saw Land, hvilket henviser til en fornyet rejse- og eventyrlyst, der har præget bandet i tiden op til albummets tilblivelse. Det udkommer den 1. marts og er samtidig gruppens fjerde og meget efterspurgte album.

Siden forrige album har bandets medlemmer været på både personlig og musikalsk rejse. En særligt inspirerende oplevelse var en tur til Mali med den malesiske dessert blues-gruppe Tinariwen, som udmundede i et unikt samarbejde, der banede vejen for det nye album.

Albummet er som nævnt ikke udkommet endnu, men Gaffas anmeldere har smuglyttet og skriver: ”der er tale om en lidt mere tempofyldt, elektrisk og udadvendt plade fra gruppen, der er kendt for at blande akustiske guitarer og vokalharmonier med samples og slagtøj frembragt af ting, gruppen har fundet på stranden – blandt andet muslingeskaller”.

Publikum har altså mulighed for at lytte rigtigt til albummet fra den 1. marts før koncerten i april. En koncert som tegner til at blive hyggelig - i selskab med et veloplagt og energisk band, der ikke er bange for at eksperimentere og blande indie-rock, elektronisk og britisk folk.
