TTNG reunite with original vocalist for ‘Animals’ acoustic LP & 10th anniversary tour

Article by Andrew Sacher via Brooklyn Vegan British math rockers TTNG (fka This Town Needs Guns) are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their 2008 debut album Animals this year, and they’ve got some big plans for the occasion. They’re releasing an acoustic re-working of Animals, which they made in collaboration with original vocalist Stu Smith, who sang on Animals but left the band in 2011. The new acoustic album also features contributions from Nate Kinsella (Birthmark, American Football, Joan of Arc, etc), Yvette Young(Covet), Mivos Quartet, and The Kraken Quartet. We’re premiering the new acoustic version of “Gibbon,” which stays pretty true to the original, but also clearly has its own distinct vibe. In this form, it actually kinda reminds me a little of Iron & Wine. Listen and compare it to the original below. Animals Acoustic comes out October 5 via Sargent House (pre-order).

TTNG are also going on an Animals 10th anniversary tour, where they’ll perform the album in its entirety, and Stu Smith will be joining the band for the tour too.

There’s a NYC show on October 16 at Brooklyn Bazaar. Tickets for that show and the whole tour go on sale Friday (7/27). All dates are listed below,

Hong Kong charges dropped against TTNG // BBC

Full article via BBC

TTNG said they were "delighted and relieved" to announce no further action would be taken

A British band arrested in Hong Kong over alleged visa offences have had the charges against them dropped.

Oxford's TTNG were held after a raid in May by police and immigration officers at a warehouse venue in the Kwun Tong area.

Since returning home, a crowdfunding campaign raised £7,800 to pay for further plane fares to and from China.

Now the band have said on their their Facebook page that no further action will be taken.

'Incredible support'

In a statement TTNG said they were "delighted and relieved" that charges made by the Hong Kong authorities had been dropped.

The band added that they wanted to say "an enormous and sincere thank you" to their fans for their "incredible support both moral and financial over this difficult period".

US musician Mylets, who was touring Asia with TTNG, has also had the charges against him dropped and said on Twitter: "Thank you everyone."

Under Hong Kong immigration law, the two acts could have been charged with working without the required permit, a crime punishable with a prison sentence or a hefty fine.

TTNG, formerly known as This Town Needs Guns, were part of the UK's noughties math rock scene which also included fellow Oxford band Foals.

TTNG Prank // Bandwagon

What started as an innocent hoax played on my former fiancé — now wife, don’t worry — turned into a pretty amazing post-wedding gift when British math-rock band TTNG dedicated a song on stage to us newlyweds.

Lemme explain. A week or so in the lead-up to the wedding, it was announced that two of Sargent House’s math-iest acts — TTNG and one-man project Mylets — would be playing in Singapore come May 6th, as part of KittyWu Records' 10th-anniversary festivities. As a passing jest, I told my former-girlfriend/fiancé-now-missus that its unfortunate that the lads will be playing on the same day of our wedding.

In her infinite wisdom (and boundless stress from arranging a DIY wedding reception) she didn’t check their concert date. Even Daniel Peters, editor of this site, got in on the joke, prompting her to go into the deep end. Deep enough for her to seriously concoct plans to ditch our reception at night AND send out a tweet to TTNG that hey, they should totally come by our wedding to play a song or two.

That was a signal that the joke went way too far, and she reacted in an appropriately displeased manner once I told her about that we were just pulling her leg. She broke off the wedding soon after, and I regret everything.

I kid; we had a nice enough ceremony by the sea with lots of our favourites from TTNG’s Animals. All was eventually forgiven (I think), but the whole prank got the attention of the Oxford lads, who then made a proper shout out to us during their show at Esplanade’s Annexe Studio.

TTNG and Mylets Manila Show Review // Bandwagon

“I would like to dedicate this to a dog we met yesterday, who was very gracious about letting us bother him,” said Henry ‘Hank’ Tremain as he introduced their closing song for the night.

It wasn’t the first dedication the TTNG bassist/vocalist had made, as every song the band played was peppered with a shout-out to someone they’ve encountered since landing with Mylets in Manila two days before their show.

In many ways, TTNG + Mylets Live was like a typical gig in Manila. Produced by A Spur of the Moment Project (ASOTMP), the concert was held at 19 East in Sucat on a post-holiday Tuesday night, and also featured ASOTMP’s very own Tom’s Story and tide/edit, themselves fairly known names in the local indie scene. The crowd was made up of fans of all four bands, or at least folks who were predisposed to be, which meant barely anyone set foot outside the venue once the show began. It was a practice in quality over quantity, both in terms of audience and lineup.
