[GIG]Chris T-T + Indafusion + No Pasaran + Mark McCabe @ The Tunnels
 Chris T-T Homepage MySpace.com - Chris T-T - Brighton/London - Indie / Alternative / Folk - www.myspace.com/christtuk New Single "This Gun Is Not A Gun" released on Monday 19th November Making a welcome return to Aberdeen, this time with a full band in tow, is one of England's finest songwriters, Chris T-T - a man certainly not afraid to keep his opinions to himself, but its fair to say he has his "political comment down to a T-T" (The Sunday Times). Chris T-T is direct, stinging, fearless. T-T is acclaimed for vivid, outspoken, inventive songwriting and occasional bursts of withering sarcasm. T-T songs are fiercely literate, brimful of unique perspective and underpinned by a strong sense of place. He’s an aural agitator that everyone from The Sunday Times to NME has raved about. His carefully crafted songs about suicide bombers, war, serial killers, life, death, sellotape and sex often get members of his audience riled, and though there have been a few frightening threats, he's never yet been punched! He's released four full-length studio albums, one live collection and a pile of singles and EPs. His most recent release, 9 Red Songs (Oct 2005), is a folk-protest mini-album. His previous two albums, The 253 (2001) and London Is Sinking (2003) form two-thirds of a trilogy about London. The final installment Capital is now recorded and ready for release through Xtra Mile Recordings. His support CV includes Ben Folds, British Sea Power, The Divine Comedy, Elbow, Tom Robinson, Brakes, Electric Soft Parade, Quasi, Emma Pollock (Delgados), Jim Bob (Carter USM), author Iain Sinclair, KT Tunstill, Madrugada, Hefner, Robyn Hitchcock, Ricky Ross (Deacon Blue) and many others. "The genius of Chris T-T's songwriting is his ability to humanise even the most outlandish conceits. They seem instead like brilliant ideas that no-one else could've come up with." The Guardian “Capital-centric folk wonder… funny, touching and smart” NME "A national gem of a songwrtier" The Independant "Fantastically intricate masterpieces... utterly indispensable... genius... a modern-day Blake." Sunday Times, Top 5 Album of the Year 2003 "Surreal with a friendly but firm political clout ... check out this singular talent" MOJO "The joy of Flaming Lips and the humanity of Ray Davies.” Time Out, Critics' Choice, 2003 |
