Spring 2009 - France: Aix-en Provence’s authorities put the Southern region of France on a state of "maximum alert" after the departmental police reported serious risks of a new popular revolt – exactly 3 years after the last curfew was imposed. Punished for writing the very controversial album “Elektronic Blakc Mess” and for promoting anarchy and revolution on the French music scene, the TAMTRUM gang had their room and phone monitored for years so it seemed. And this is probably how the secret services discovered the French gang’s imminent new assault, expressing once more their engaged desire for a musical regime change. Here is the real story of what is occurring in Aix-en-Provence today: communiqués and other pieces of evidence prove that TAMTRUM shall be back in town exactly 3 years after their last opus, armed with a conceptual 3rd album that will for sure once more let ink flow… Note that there is a secret code-link hidden in the album that opens doors for fans to experience extreme artistic freedom – allowing the listeners to take control on the future of the music industry itself. TAMTRUM’s new sonic shock is conceptually divided into 2 radically different parts:  the A-side with “Fuck You I’m Drunk” and the B-side with “Stronger Than Cats”…The adventure starts straight into it by inviting you, against any expectation, to a depraved cocktail party of brainless electro rock’n clash orgy full of sex, drugs, alcohol and other forbidden sounds. TAMTRUM are partying at full speed with provocative nonsense “drunk'n fuck” lyrics over groovy carrying tunes. The toxic combination opens your senses to the maximum and prepares your intoxicated body to next take on the “Stronger Than Cats” assault. This “B-side” reveals a more deviant and darker face of the band, bringing “dark elektro on speed” tracks, carrying you with them on another upbeat bad trip, on their spiralling descent to hell and the end of the “fête”… Sylvicious, Benoit XVI and Fixhead dared to challenge the TAMTRUM sound and are now fucking ready for another infectious and shocking tour across Europe that will bring this new level of hi-energy and merciless aggressive-groovy assault to their summoned audiences. Remember that TAMTRUM is above all a live band bringing strip-tease shows and other weird & unpredictable liquid / fluo-chemical performances to stage, which only reinforces their brutal, uncompromising and decadent image. Keep the fainthearted kids secluded at home! For the hardcore fans of TAMTRUM, the album is also available as a CD Splicase deluxe edition strictly limited to 666 copies with explicit stickers and on a bonus second cd: the sonic recording in 6 acts of selected total reinterpretations of TAMTRUM’s new hits by Claus Larsen (LEAETHER STRIP/KLUTAE) in total freedom of musical speech. This is not a collaboration, this is a true electronic devastating rape by the master of electronic mayhem. Released on Alfa Matrix and available June 6th, 2009.
