Boy Azooga will undertake a short tour of the US next month.
The band, led by Davey Newington, released their debut album 1, 2, Kung Fu! earlier this year and start the run of shows at Rough Trade in Brooklyn on October 24th before heading to Philadelphia, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
“When music comes from a thousand different directions there’s a history of it to being a little off-centred or confused hence, when Davey Newington recently admitted that 1,2 Kung Fu! had been influenced by a roster including Paul McCartney, Black Sabbath and Caribou, by definition it had the ‘too ambitious’ label applied simply by default,” Live4ver’s album review opens.
“From Cardiff, Newington cut his teeth drumming in the bluesome garage trio Houdini Dax and also for Charlotte Church as part of her Late Night Pop Dungeon, assembling the album’s raw materials part time in collaboration with local producer Ed Al Shakarchi.”
