London three - piece IS TROPICAL are set to release their debut single on the fledgling Hitclub Records labelon the 18th of January 2010.
'When O' When', produced and Mixed by Al O'Connell (Klaxons/Big Pink) at Beethoven Street London, comes backed with 'Seasick Mutiny' and is released on limited edition seven inch vinyl and as a digital download. Uniquely varied and disjointed, 'When O' When' rattles through so many different rhythms and styles in a way unlike any other typical 3-and-a-half minute pop formula around right now.
Formed early this year, the IS TROPICAL line up of Gary Barber (Vocals/Guitars/Keys), Simon Milner (Vocals/Guitars/Keys) and Dominic Apa (Drums/Programming) hit the ground running playing a quick stint of live dates and club nights in and around London. Developing their live show and songs simultaneously, they improvise from scrounged instruments and create a constantly changing soundscape, which sees them effortlessly swoop from raw pop anthems to lo-fi dance songs.
Taking to the stage in their now trademark masks, cloaked by self-made video projections IS TROPICAL are one of the most exciting and mysterious bands in the country. Spontaneous, unindulgent, and instinctively inventive. IS TROPICAL will be playing the following dates in November and December, more live dates to be announced.
LIVE DATES:
NOV 25TH - THE MACBETH - LONDON
NOV 27TH - GOLDSMITH UNIVERSITY- LONDON
DEC 12TH - CARNIVALE (WHITECHAPEL) - LONDON
