TUCKER in Seoul 2009(Korea)

There's a new Electone artist in town. And he's pulling out the stops to make Electone hot! Tucker combines Electone, synth, scratching and literally BLAZING theatrics to create crowd pleasing performances that dispell any belief that Electone isn't cool. Emerging in 1998 with the hot single "The Man From Electone", the music industry took notice of Tucker's releases. It quickly becomes obvious that this artist blew out of the studio and onto the stage. Since then he has never looked-back. When Tucker first appears on stage you don't quite know what's in store for you. A cheap rhythm machine starts cranking out reckless beats, setting the scene for what's about to happen. All of a sudden the artist slaps out some biting Electone notes, cutting through the air, dispelling your fear that he's not going to use the Electone for much. You know something is going to happen... something big. The tension starts building as Tucker adds more to the mix. Watching a Tucker performance you feel as though you are getting caught up in something spicy, bold and reckless. Combining turntable, Electone, base, drum, sampling, the flame (he literally sets his instruments on fire!), standing upside down on the Electone, and even scratching the turntable with his nose, the energy builds, causing audience outbursts and spontaneous gasps of awe. This is dangerous, and you're a part of it! But like a deer in headlights, you can't do anything but just let your jaw drop open, listen and watch.

TUCKER started his career as Electone player in 1990s. In 1998, he joined NATURAL CALAMITY's US tour for a month. The same year he released his first 7" EP "MAN FROM ELECTONE". In 1999, He participated in JACKIE & THE CEDRICS's US tour for a month, composed songs and recorded Electone on the 10" EP called "JACKIE & THE CEDRICS", released on the New York based label NORTON.
