Our beloved Avant-Gardists Tupolev start their tiny “Memories of Björn Bolssen”-tour tomorrow. I will join them for two gigs (Linz and Vienna) as some kind of tour DJ, cutting heavy Netaudio tunes on my digital decks. Tupolev share stage with their labelmates Port-Royal whose record “Afraid to Dance” will be available in the special Valeot vinyl version at the shows. Due to technical problems, Tupolev vinyl is delayed but you will be able to purchase the CD of their genre defining new album “Memories of Björn Bolssen”.
