2 BIT PIE EMERGES WITH ‘2 BIT ISLAND’ ON
ONE LITTLE INDIAN JANUARY 30
COLLECTIVE FEATURING MEMBERS MIKE BRYANT AND JON FUGLER OF FLUKE AND YUKI OF SHE SHELL, PLUS BROAD RANGE OF SPECIAL GUESTS
For those hungry for a little nutritional variety in the current diet of (some great, some not so great) steak and kidney guitar bands, 2 BIT PIE should hit the spot nicely. Though underpinned by inspired electro-guerrillas Fluke, this collaboration’s debut album 2 Pie Island–due out in the U.S. January 30, 2007 on One Little Indian–boasts the creative input of many other artists and musicians.
Who baked the 2 Bit Pie? It was written and produced by Fluke’s Mike Bryant and Jon Fugler together with Andy Gray (Korn, Oakenfold). Lead vocals on 2 Pie Island are driven by Fugler and shared with Yuki, Japan’s She Shell front-girl who could very well be the discovery of the year. Also look for musical contributions from vocalists Jan Burton (Gabriel & Dresden, Syntax) on “Colours” and “Here I Come”; the Royal Opera’s Dilshani Weerasinghe on “Soto Mundo”; and producer Wild Oscar and Bush drummer Robin Goodridge on numerous album tracks.
2 Bit Pie’s first single “Nobody Never”–released last year with a remix by Grammy-nominated producer extraordinaire Bill Hamel–was the first glimpse at what was to come. Since then songs from 2 Pie Island have been licensed for TV shows “Six Degrees” with “Here I Come” and “CSI Miami” with “Soto Mundo.” “Here I Come” was also licensed for Electronic Art’s Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 game and “Fly,” “Little Things” and especially “Colours” are staples on Jason Bentley’s KROQ Afterhours and KCRW Metropolis radio shows.
The Pie brings together talents from all walks of musical life, adding spice with heavy guitars, some operatic seasoning and big beats. The resulting album is a crash course in how to achieve the unexpected in 10 songs.
The complete track listing for 2 Pie Island is:
1. Fly
2. Here I Come
3. Colours
4. Nobody Never
5. Soto Mundo
6. PIL
7. Little Things
8. Mote
9. Slipaway
10. After Hours
