Tenki
TENKI’s near six-year existence has been an interesting one. Full of member changes, tours taking them from the Smokey mountains through New England, 5-gigs-in-a-day marathons, late night blow-ups, and shows ranging from jam packed theatres to scantily populated road houses, the band has slowly but persistently logged enough experiences to make up a multi-volume rock and roll narrative. But more than the typical rock band fiasco, the really interesting part of TENKI’s history has been its ever-evolving sound. In 2000 TENKI released Red Glow - a 5-song "eclectic pop" EP with material inspired by a film experiment. They followed up in 2002 with a debut full-length Red Baby - a lyrical canvas of relationships and emotions filled with their signature guitar-driven washes, horns, and keyboards. 2003 saw the release of the bands second full length album, View of an Orbiting Man, that featured a band MORE poised AND pissed while taking a dramatic personal turn when looking back at life's more tumultuous occurrences: divorce, death and failed love experiments. At the end of this year, the band will embark on its latest musical offering, an album titled We’re Not Talking About the Universe Are We.Tenki - Etaples
