Liberation Music are over the moon to announce the return of Australia’s own genre-defying trend-setters, TZU. The band are getting ready to wow us with their striking new single ‘Beginning of the End’, which is due for release on April 2. And if this isn’t enough good news for you on a Monday afternoon, there’s even a big national tour to boot.

The new single ‘Beginning of the End’, is, to put it very simply, about The End. It sees the band at their finest, seamlessly merging genres and sounds, whilst tackling current global issues head on to create a glorious alternative pop statement. Following the single release, TZU will release Album #4 in the second half of 2012, a collection of original and charismatic tunes that will see them delve further into the electronic direction they explored on Computer Love and ensure they stay two steps ahead of the rapidly expanding pack.

The band’s last album, the bulk-ace Computer Love was a Triple J feature and saw them nominated for the AMP shortlist and the J Award Album of the Year, along with an APRA for Best Hip-Hop Artist.

Supported by Wolf Wolf and Galapagoose.
