"Tussle came on the scene some years ago and immediately made a name for themselves with their uncontrived take on rhythm music. Their "coveted 12inch singles" (The Wire) on Troubleman Unlimited first caught the eyes of international crate-diggers and tastemakers alike - among them the Optimo DJs, John Peel (RIP) and Trevor Jackson.
Comprised of two drummers, a bassist and a "knob twiddler" - Tussle takes you on a musical rollercoaster through a super danceable mix of dub, kraut, and funk. URB's deemed them as one of the prestigious Next 100; and Pitchfork picked the group as one of the top 5 artists to watch in the future.
They have toured Europe and Japan and played alongside a diverse cast of bands and artists, mirroring the band's no-genre approach - Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karlheinz Stockhausen, !!!, Gang Gang Dance, eYe (Boredoms), Andrew Weatherall, Zongamin, Sunburned Hand of the Man, and Deerhoof. They have also completed full US tours with Architecture in Helsinki and Outhud, and this November they shared a stage with The Slits.
They have continued playing unorthodox spaces/venues and in that time played in art spaces such as Deitch Projects, the Frieze Art Fair in London, San Francisco MOMA, and Jack Hanley Gallery, travelled to Scandinavia and did U.S. tours with Hot Chip, Architecture in Helsinki, Outhud, Eats Tapes and Yellow Swans."
Tussle played in Baltimore a little over a year ago at Are We Not Men and it was fucking awesome! Their new album "Cream Cuts" was just released on Norway's Smalltown Supersound. We couldn't be more excited to have them as our guests at Tax Lo at Talking Head!
