Tiny Magnetic Pets Third EP

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -

Tiny Magnetic Pets : The Politburo Disko EP
Focus Track: Blitzed
Release: The Politburo Disko EP
Release date: 21st July 2020

For fans of: Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp, Blondie, The Killers, Chvrches.


From Dublin, TINY MAGNETIC PETS are now bringing their blend of New Wave-infused Germanic Synthpop to all streaming platforms. Like the rest of the world, TMP’s 2020 plans have been placed on lockdown.

TMP have been busy updating their their back catalogue on streaming services with the release of their first 2 EPs ‘Stalingrad’ & ‘The NATO Alphabet’ both making their streaming debut last month.
July will see the release of ‘The Politburo Disko’ EP on all streaming services with ‘Blitzed’ as the single.

Rather appropriately for the current world climate, the song deals with boredom, loss of control and the downsides of social media where by it’s very nature dupes us into thinking that everyone else is having a better life than us. It is however delivered in the typical energetic TMP style: a driving bass & synth groove with Eugene doing his best Clem Burke impersonation on drums - topped off by singer Paula Gilmer’s playful yet confident delivery. Not for nothing has she been compared to Debbie Harry!

Approaching live performance like a rock band, TMP have played no less than seven tours in the last
two years opening for OMD on the UK leg of their sold-out Punishment Of Luxury tour, Midge Ure on his 1980 Vienna/Visage European & UK tours as well as The Killers’ Dave Keuning, plus Krautrock legends: Wolfgang Flür (Kraftwerk) and Michael Rother (NEU/Kraftwerk/Harmonia).

Tiny Magnetic Pets are unusual on the current Irish music scene. Rather than be influenced by singer/
songwriters or indie rock, the inspiration behind their music comes from Bowie’s Berlin period,
70’s krautrock and early disco, with a good measure of 80’ synthpop thrown into the mix. With the
quintessentially pop vocal delivery of Paula Gilmer, it could be said that Tiny Magnetic Pets operated in uncharted musical water, somewhere between Kylie and Kluster.

The band have accrued strong support for their blend of electronic European New Wave. Ex-Visage member and founder of the Blitz club, Rusty Egan, has been an enthusiastic champion with a remix of their track ‘Control Me’. Another fan is Andy McCluskey from OMD who in 2017 recommended the band “for all lovers of distinctive electronic music “ - before inviting them on OMD’s sell-out UK tour. After opening for NEU! legend Michael Rother at the Electri_City festival in Düsseldorf, they played a blistering show which led to them opening for ex-Kraftwerk member Wolfgang Flür. That show was a defining moment for Tiny Magnetic Pets, leading to two collaborations with the technopop legend on their 2nd album “Deluxe/Debris”.

Lesley Rae Dowling and Tully McCully - a new single

South African songstress Lesley Rae Dowling sent shock waves through the local pop music business with her stunningly individual style of vocal delivery when she came on the scene in the early 1980s.  Her producer Tully McCully wrote Grips of Emotion for her and it hit the charts in January 1982. The follow-up release, her debut album revealed that she was also a serious songwriter. Her song Spaniard was the second single to garner heavy rotation leading to the first album going gold not long afterwards. Visual for the new release featuring Lesley from the time of her debut releases .   Since then Lesley has released about a dozen albums mostly in her home country but she also has releases in Australia and the Benelux. Last month Tully was going through his archive and stumbled on a multi-track tape containing a song she recorded that never made it onto any of Lesley's main album releases and never released digitally, so not available for streaming or download.

The Tully McCully Project - meticulous, manicured, progressive rock.

 It is a real surprise that Tully McCully, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and record producer of countless artists has never released a Tully solo album - until now! The new record is titled Comedy Tragedy. Tully is the frontman and bass player of McCully Workshop, the producer of Lesley Rae Dowling and Crocodile Harris, (and many others) who have topped the charts in his homeland over the last thirty years. He is known for his entertaining (even theatrical) live presence on stage. He is a talented mimic and possesses wonderful comedic timing.  On this collection he plays all but one instrument and does all the male vocals, besides his work behind the desk of his famous Spaced Out Sound Studios in Cape Town, South Africa. Recently he has been recording introspective music, notably his progrock collaboration with keyboard wizard Gordon Mackay, and his folk pop releases under the name of Jaspers's Acolytes. Anyone who is a serious contemporary music fan from 1970s and 80s wil...
