After writing a year’s worth of material on Mac laptops using Garageband and Reason, King Tut released their first album “Chopping Wood & Carrying Water” on a upstart label from Boston, Amaro Dolce.

When they play live, Mark uses a looping pedal, building whole songs from scratch on the fly, backed by Drew’s classically trained, powerful jazz drumming. King Tut has consistently be... (+) expand

really cool music. i dont want to currupt your artistic ability too much, but if i could say one thing its that the song "loves a feeling" seems like a really good song to have a long acoustic solo, i mean like 4 to 5 minutes. what do you think?

Thanks for replying, and so fast too! The fact that you even took the time to was awesome in itself! I have to say that I admire y'all for offering all of your songs for free. I agree with what you wrote in the news section, that it is ridiculous to pay 99 cents for every song, especially if you love music and download a lot, like I do. I voted for Luke's Hymn in that poll, and I checked out Luke Brandfon and really liked his stuff too! I also have listened to a lot of your other songs, and one of my new favorites is There's No Mountain Top to Yell it From. It is truly a great song, and I love the complex background. Hope y'all continue to make killer music!!!

They probably know that we can mass tunebox people, and just aren't worried about it for now. I don't know of anyone who was complaining about spam. Most of us feel restricted by the present situation, I think. You can still post on walls if you just change a few words. I was able to send out many messages last night by inserting which award they won, and I didn't get a single warning. It's just hard and time consuuming enough to keep us from contacting people we don't know, which is too bad with something like this. Thanks for promoting the awards!
