NEW ALBUM WE ARE GONNA BE FRIENDS (CHILDREN'S ALBUM):
You can download a wav file of excerpts of all ten songs from: https://spaces.hightail.com/receive/PbnSdwwXsq
Tuck & Patti's new albumWe Are Gonna Be Friends, was produced and recorded by their rockstar niece, Annie Clark (known as St. Vincent), and mixed by Tuck & Patti.
Tuck: "We spent the first two months of 2018 touring with Annie and opening her shows, and one day she said, 'Hey, guys, why don't you come down to my studio for two days and we'll record a children's album!' With no more planning than that, two weeks later, during a break in the tour, we arrived at her house the night before the sessions. We figured we'd record easy, traditional children's songs, but she and Patti started brainstorming over a bottle of wine, and all of a sudden we had a brand new songlist, eight of which we'd never played."
Patti: "That gave us two hours per song to find it on the internet, learn the music and lyrics, arrange it and record it! It was absolutely crazy, but we pulled it off. At the end, I asked Annie, 'Have you ever recorded an album in two days?' Her answer: 'Hell, no!'"
Tuck: 'It turned out to be an album for children, parents and grandparents alike, our duo approach to ten delightful songs that almost everybody will recognize. It turned out to be a really sweet, intimate, sonically beautiful album, and we hope everyone will enjoy it for years to come."
We are Going to Be Friends (The White Stripes)  In My Room (The Beach Boys)

MALTED MILK (Except France)
In its current form, enhanced by the arrival of brilliant new elements, the continent's most fearsome soul band is a true war machine. Malted Milk recently celebrated its 20-year career in a Stereolux filled with fans over-excited by its electrifying repertoire propelled by its brass section.
Born as a blues duo, as it grew up, Malted Milk gradually invested its spirit of the African American soul until it found a perfect alchemy in recent years. The band stands out from other European ensembles for its ability to escape the blues cover band syndrome through its creativity.
It's a mixture of funk, brass riffs, slender guitars, nervous bass lines and organ growls ... enhanced by Arnaud's voice.
A real bomb of the French soul funk blues scene!
