Currently recording their debut album, due for release in late Summer 2010, TKO has been entertaining audiences up and down Ireland for just over 3 years now. Having played over 200 shows since their inception, their live show is second to none and have become energetic and sought-after affairs in packed-out venues across the country, they are well known for their crowd interaction, onstage antics and even Chewbacca has jammed with them for a few tunes in the past.
The TKO sound is best described as Micro-Orchestral Jam Rock, infusing Drums, Bass and Guitars with Saxophone, Acoustics, Violin, Clarinet, Banjo and Harmonica. It's an interesting mix of Rock, Jazz, Bluegrass, Classical and anything else they manage to get inspired by that particular week.
Their first release, the "Hats Off" EP has to date sold over a thousand copies. Then a single, "Lets Go", was released and a 15 date tour of Ireland coincided with numerous Radio appearances along the way. The Single went top 40 in Ireland.
Also, the band toured Italy, supported The Frames in Vicar Street, and supported Duke Special, Mundy, Delorentos, The Blizzards and many other established acts, Played 5 sold out shows in prestigious Dublin venue Whelan's and had a great auld time.
A live album "Act One, Scene One" was released alongside the aptly titled 13 date "Tour for the sake of touring" tour, taking them everywhere in Ireland from Cork to Derry. They received media attention from many publications including Metro, Northside People, The Star, Irish Times and Hotpress, all positive.
