Wow, it's going to be a bigger, madder, more music-y Swampfest than ever before, come September this year in good ol' Palmy North, New Zealand!
The Bing Turkby Ensemble has been invited by the King of Palmy to do a special performance, so Jim K is racking his pea-sized brains for something amazing for us to do that will make everyone go 'hey!" or at least "oh... yeah..."
It may or may not involve some new toys Bing has been buying, including things that go "wee--ooo-wooop' and 'cling, clang, garooo' and stuff like that. Can't give you too many more details sorry.
But maybe he'll also this thing in the picture below, which goes 'wop-a-wow-wow-wakka':
What else has the Ensemble been up to? Just percolating a few ideas (translation: not much, thanks.)
We're in discussion with a pretty fancy company about getting a video made for the song No Indication, which would be rather cool. I won't mention any names yet, in case they decide it would do their brand irreparable damage to be associated with Bing Turkby. But the video concept has already been presented at a T-Tone Rekkids board meeting and everyone's stoked!
By the way, the album "Summon Forth the Mangonel" is still free to download at turkby.bandcamp.com. It's actually listed as 'pay what you want', so you can just type in zero if you like, or if you feel like paying fifty bucks, that's cool too.
Bing has been helping to organise a monthly 'Tuesday Bluesday' at Roslyn Library, and the last performance was by Harry Lilley and Rob Thorne - check their stuff out at http://thechildrenofmaui.bandcamp.com It's psychedelic dolphin music!
