Idiosyncratic, Rotterdam-based band Tommy Moustache just released their new album EGO (Berthold Records) and celebrated this at an packed CDLaunch Party, April 10-Kantine Walhalla, Rotterdam. In addition the German label Berthold Records invited them to play at their labelnight during Jazzahead, Bremen.
Exactly opposed to their debut album, this new album 'EGO' will be an almost megalomanic ode to themselves: full of daring improvisation, rock riffs, humour, mood swings, adventures and everything else these guys could come up with. Check their website for all tourdates!
