01/10: ANIMAL- BEAT SINGLE OF THE WEEK! Our new single Animal has been chosen as Beat's Single Of The Week! Here's what Simone said in her review: "Tic Toc Tokyo have changed their name in preparation for their sophomore release. I dunno what for, like. Animal is the first cab off the rank and it's a gem- every drum beat, guitar sound and vocal yelp is abrupt and contained, inhibiting its own distinct little place in the song, but still part of a narrative. A funky kind of minimalist math rock." Thanks to Simone & all at Beat! __________________________________________________ 01/10: ANIMAL ADDED TO FBi ROTATION! Hey all, just a quick message to announce that our new single Animal has been added to rotation on Sydney's FBi Radio! Sydneysiders can tune in on 94.5FM, and the rest of us can enjoy the community radio goodness streaming online at www.fbiradio.com. __________________________________________________ 01/10: NEW SINGLE! ANIMAL TTT are excited to announce the release of Animal, the first single from our debut album Lands. Characterised by its drum machine loop, heavy melodic bass, percussive rhythms, dual vocals and soaring, abrasive guitar, Animal is the first preview of the direction and intent of the album, due for release in April 2010. The track is now available for download via iTunes; you can get it by following this link, or preview the track on our Myspace. We'll be launching the single at The Curtin Bandroom on Saturday February 13th, with more details to be announced soon! -TTT __________________________________________________ 12/09: TTT @ THE WORKERS CLUB- SAT DEC 19
TTT (formerly Tic Toc Tokyo) play the Workers Club on Saturday, December 19th. The band have spent the majority of 2009 recording their debut album with producer Nao Anzai (Because of Ghosts, Laura), and are excited to be playing a special preview of completed album tracks for this show. The album (due for release in early 2010) is a distillation of the musical themes and ideas the band have collectively explored, combining an experimental approach that incorporates a variety of instrumentation and a strong sense of melody and dynamics. Playing alongside TTT will be good friends Gosteleradio (launching their first single 'Guillotine' from their forthcoming debut album), and Kraut-inspired electronic duo Peace Out! (featuring members of The Emergency). Doors from 8.30pm, tickets $10 on the door. __________________________________________________ 12/09: TTT Four years after starting out as Tic Toc Tokyo, we feel it's time for a change and would like to announce that from now on the band will be using the abbreviated name of TTT. Leading up to the release of our debut album early next year, we feel this change is better suited to our current and future projects and endeavours. Thanks y'all for your understanding. __________________________________________________ 09/09: LIVE REVIEW- WORKERS CLUB W. SPIRAL STAIRS 'The first band on at the ever more impressive Workers Club- and sole support act for the show- were Melbourne art riff generators Tic Toc Tokyo. Mixing polyrhythms with dancefloor bass lines and ambient guitar sounds, the band have found the perfect balance between live instrumentation and processed noise. A stellar performance which impressed with its precision, inventiveness and power.' Symon JJ Rock - Inpress magazine- 23/9/09 __________________________________________________ 07/09: TTT ON TRIPLE R- TONIGHT- THURSDAY JULY 16 TTT will be on Triple R radio TONIGHT (Thursday July 16th) at 7pm as part of a Victoria Rocks special, where we'll be talking about our forthcoming album for which we received an Arts Victoria grant. We'll also be playing some of the newly recorded album tracks on air for the first time. Tune in from 7pm on 102.7FM, or listen to it live streaming at www.rrr.org.au. __________________________________________________ 10/08: NEW FILMCLIP- RITUAL We've just completed a filmclip for our new single, Ritual. The clip was directed and edited by the magnificent Chris Tursi and Nic Oogjes. Extra special thanks also to Margarita, Anita & Ingrid for all their help on the day. __________________________________________________ 10/08: RITUAL- NEW SINGLE & LAUNCH NEW SINGLE- RITUAL
Tic Toc Tokyo release their new single, Ritual, this Saturday October 18th. Marked by haunting vocals, abrasive tones and percussive rhythms, Ritual sees the band explore a more expansive sound as they develop the experimental aspects of their debut EP, Artefacts. Lead by an unified rhythm and taking on space as an integral element, the track is driven by tension before moving into an atmospheric interlude inhabited by dual overlapping vocals, textured guitars and melodica. Ritual was recorded by producer Nao Anzai at Head Gap Studios in Melbourne. Ritual will be released as 4 track CD, available via MGM Distribution. Accompanying Ritual on the single is a remix of the track Colour of Place (which appeared on the Artefacts EP released earlier this year). Colour of Place- Oona's Nuclear Winter Mix is an atmospheric, experimental dub-influenced alternate version of the track, remixed by producer Casey Rice (AKA. Designer) at his Classix studio. Rounding out the release are versions live versions of Traps and The River- two highlights of our live set and recorded especially for this release by Nao Anzai in the Pony bandroom, Melbourne. TIC TOC TOKYO – RITUAL TRACK LISTING SINGLE LAUNCH We will be launching the single next Friday October 24th at the East Brunswick Club in Melbourne. Joining us on the night are special guests Plug-In City, New Estate, and Dead-Before-Death-Gang, making for a fantastic and eclectic lineup. This will be our last gig for the year as various band members head overseas for the summer. In addition, the gig will also be the first chance to preview a number of new tracks which we have written for our debut album, due to be recorded in early 2009. See below for the flyer.
