Live for Live Music is proud to present Turkuaz’s upcoming fall tour! The 9-piece funk army has just tacked on additional dates for the huge upcoming run.

Following a Summer packed with high profile festival performances throughout North America, the band will embark on a national club tour in support of Digitonium (Techne Records), their second national LP release.

Now Streaming: Turkuaz – The Daytrotter Session

The crossover album adds a lot of Peter Gabriel and Talking Heads feel to Turkuaz’s “PowerFunk” sound, and evokes the best of the ’80’s dance music. Upon close examination, the Dada-esque slurry of words and lyrical imagery reveals this to be a concept album at its core. Repeated phrases are intertwined throughout, and themes of empowerment and self-actualization, glimpsed in metaphors borrowed from Plato’s cave, a dystopian technological future and the archetypal characters of the myths of Avalon are developed through various tracks. Supported by transitional interludes, these elements make Digitonium feel like the score to an animated film, at times.

Digitonium will be available for pre-order through iTunes beginning Friday, 8/14. Anyone who pre-orders will receive an instant download of new tune, “The Generator.”

Tour dates are below, and stay tuned for a ton of opportunities to get involved, win tickets, music and more through Live For Live Music, Techne Records and Turkuaz.
