We'll be recording new material for a single and an EP with Kurt Schlegel in May/June 2008 and should have some new tunes for you to listen to shortly thereafter.  Woo-hoo!

"While too many experimental bands wage an escalating arms race of who can raise the most obnoxious racket, precious few remember to balance their noise quotient with at least a modicum of rock.  Oakland-based Turks show an obvious affection for the abrasive sounds of classic Touch and Go and Amphetamine Reptile releases from the 1990s with their careening riffs and unhinged aggression.  Veteran guitarist Richard Marshall (Alice Donut, Kingdom First, and Carlos) and singer Ryon Gesink first came together under the moniker in 2004, but the group recently emerged from an extended hiatus armed with a powerhouse new rhythm section featuring From Monument to Masses bassist Matthew Solberg and Sons of Oswald drummer Shannon Corr.  Get a fistful of the band's churning, Jesus Lizard–inspired skronk when Turks land at the Hemlock Tavern with support acts Eternal Tapestry and Hurry Up Shotgun on Friday, Jan. 18, at 9:30 p.m.  Admission is $6; call 923-0923 or visit www.hemlocktavern.com http://www.hemlocktavern.com/  for more info. — D.P."
