1,2, KUNG
FU! Is the debut album released on Heavenly Recordings by welsh band Boy
Azooga, fronted by Davey Newington (Vocals, Guitar) accompanied by Sam Barnes
(Bass), Dylan Morgan (Keys) and Dafydd Davies (Drums) to create a truly unique
blend of electronic-indie-rave-rock symphony.
Influences
on the album include Black Sabbath (Sitting On The First Rock From The Sun), Serge
Gainsbourg (Breakfast Epiphany), George Harrison, Run DMC, Nirvana, The Beastie
Boys, Outkast, Happy Mondays and Caribou. There are also traces of Kasabian
(Loner Boogie) and Gorrilaz (Losers In The Tomb). If your tastes are as varied as this then
this album does not disappoint. Davey is a multi instrumentalist listing drums,
triangle, timpani, xylophone, sleighbells (I Wanna Be Your Dog) and maracas
most of which can be found on this album.
My favourite tracks on the album are Loner Boogie, Face Behind Her Cigarette and Sitting On The First Rock From The Sun and will certainly be added to the Transmission Spotify playlist which you can listen to here.

Azooga’s tour dates here.

Epiphony was realeased on the same day (8/6/18) and can be seen here.
