Tim Guy Hummabyes Album Release Tour
18.10.07
Hummabyes is Tim Guy's second album and is a refreshing set of whimsical alt. country flavoured indie-pop songs chock full of instantly hummable tunes. The recordings feature his band 'The Tutus which consists of Anika Moa (vocals, bass) and Anna Coddington (vocals, drums), both acclaimed singer/songwriters in their own right.
Hummabyes features special guest appearances from a few of Tim's mates, all NZ music luminaries, including Ed Cake, Jeremy Toy, Age Pryor, Paul McLaney and Steve Abel. Tim recorded and produced the album himself and it was mixed by Ed Cake at Platform studios and mastered by Chris Chetland at Kog in Auckland, NZ.
Tim recently received NZ on Air video funding for his second single 'Cater for Lovers' which is being directed by James Solomon (Batucada Sound Machine, Káren Hunter) and will be released early November.
Tim Guy is originally from Melbourne but these days he calls Auckland, New Zealand home. Back in 2002 he met award winning singer/songwriter Bic Runga backstage after one of her gigs and gave her a demo tape of a few of his songs. Bic liked them so much she offered to produce his album and she ended up playing drums and guitar and lending her voice to the material as well. The resulting critically acclaimed album Blazey was released in 2004 on Bic's label 'Nu Shoo Records'.
Tim played support for Bic on her Acoustic Churches tour that year, performing 25 shows to over 15,000 people, and since then he has been in constant demand touring with the likes of Anika Moa, Miriam Clancy, Paul McLaney, Age Pryor, Steve Abel and Tommy as well as undertaking his own 33 date solo tour in 2006.
The new album will be launched on October 26th at the Dogs Bollix in Auckland with Anna and Steve Abel supporting and the band will be touring New Zealand together in November/December.
