BOOKING contact@tunicadartos.com / „Still fucking hungry!“ The post / math rock band Tunica Dartos from Lucerne can look back on ten succesfull years: recordings with Steve Albini in Chicago, several European tours and over 150 concerts speak for themselves – this is a highly dedicated band. Thus, it is not surprising that the song „Co-Pilot“ (Sound Buffet, Little Jig 2011) was on the top playlist during one year on BBC Radio 1. „We still haven’t had enough!“ the three band members recently said in an interview – even though they shortly released an electro album under the pseudonym „H.T. RØnjes“ and wrote the soundtrack to an avant-garde dance performance („á nu“). It’s this enormous lust for music that can also be witnessed during their shows. Her new album “Fall” (Little Jig/ Irascible) will be released in March 2013. Tunica Dartos recorded this musical gem in the South of France. In the close proximity to the ocean, an album was produced on which one can feel the warmth of the Mediterranean climate. “We took our time for the reordings”, Roman Krasniqi, guitarist of the band, says. “We worked with guitar loops and puzzled over drum and bass sounds – until we were finally satisfied with the product.” The result can be heard: “Fall” impresses with elaborate arrangements and a bouquet of various sounds: the guitar can start brute, only to change to a smooth mix with the unique sound of the Rhodes and to form a complexe alliance with the drum and the bass. The nine songs have strong melodies and powerful beats. “It is very important for us that everything can be played one-to-one on stage”, the band states. Tunica Dartos proove that they are an international caliber band – which is shown when reading the names of their cooperations: besides the french co-production under S»bastien Gros, Tunica Dartos also worked with the Austrian artist Patrick Bonato. Bonato is responsible for the artwork. The album will be released inter alia in Australia. The band is planning on a promotion tour through Europe in spring 2013. With the album „Fall“, Tunica Dartos will consolidate her reputaiton as an innovative and still – even after ten years of existence – hungry band Quotes: „Tunica Dartos: An energetic Set of Post-Rock is guaranteed. Buzzing Guitar, serrating Bass and killer Drums are the chunks melding with eachother. Caution! steady nerves required.†ª „Tunica Dartos, a fully melted Set of energetic Postunica Rock. This Trio serves raw Rock, within hypnotic Grooves jazzy flavour. While a lot of Postrock Bands try to keep attraction by using epic Soundexperiments, Tunica Dartos let us hear, how strong and impulsive Instrumental-Rock can be.“ Pirmin Bossart, NLZ „Tunica Dartos From Switzerland left freaking followers the last time they were here to present their hypnotical live show of noise, Rock and Jazz, psychadelic Indie, and overcoming weirdness. Now, after a hundred more concerts and a recording session with Mastermind Steve Albini from the electrical Audio in Chicago, they are back on the road again. more intense and much more energie showing up this time.“ Cube Club, Paderborn "Tunica Dartos, attention people.
