April 2006
After a very interesting experiment at the Marlborough on the 19th, we have organised a performance at Kemptown's beautiful Hanbury Ballroom for April 18th.
Tundra will be joined by the new string Trio, Snow, and Films by Nick Lawson, Laura Joy and Tony Gammidge, amongst others, will be projected; this time behind the group, a slightly more traditional arrangement.
Support is offered by mysterious, Flavour of the Month, Birdengine and the wonderful, melancholy songs of Elle, both of whom will be performing acoustic.

May 2005
After performing a fresh set at the Sanctuary on April 23rd, Tundra went into the studio with James Stringfellow and recorded the basic tracks for four pieces of new music, with working titles 'Boulder', 'Low Tide', 'New' and 'These Mountains, These Heavens'.
Watch this space or join the mailing list to be the first to hear them.

April 2005
As well as a lot of new songs, the new year has brought a change of line-up: Richard Murison has left, on very good terms, to focus on his music therapy work, and Tamora has taken over the role of bass-player, bringing her own particular quiet wild energy to the band...
Tundra intend to reconvene the octet (chamber) line up for the May gig, but in the meantime the trio of Tom, Tamora and Suzanne are exploring the pared down sound, which is bringing the feel rather than the gesture, the songwriting rather than the texture, to the forefront of the band's aesthetic.
Tundra will be playing as a trio intermittently in 2005 – see them at the Sanctuary in April with special guests Winterbourne. Stay tuned for details of the May gig, a quite different affair...
The first EP is available to download at mperia.com.
