On the heels of stellar performances at Canadian Music Week 2008 and the 2008 East Coast Music Awards, along with the recent release of their heavily-anticipated debut record "You Will Land With a Thud" (produced by Gordon Gano, Violent Femmes), the 9-member folk rock n' roll explosion known as The Tom Fun Orchestra now announces a slew of new tour dates!
Included in the upcoming run is a jaunt around the East Coast, a sweep through Ontario and a trip across the pond to Ireland for The Kilkenny Rhythm & Roots Festival!
Just one month out of the gate since the release of "You Will Land..", the reviews have been pouring in, unanimously heralding the up-and-coming folk rockers from Cape Breton Island as ‘the next big thing' to emerge from the burgeoning East Coast music scene.
After two hugely successful nights at CMW 2008 – from a packed house/line-up down the street at the Dakota Tavern, to a wildly energetic 4am set at the Horseshoe Tavern – The Tom Fun Orchestra left quite an impression on music critics and fans alike...even garnering a nod from U.K. tastemaker Clash Magazine, who named The Tom Fun Orchestra ‘One of The Top 10 Emerging Bands in Canada' after catching the band's Dakota Tavern CMW set.
