We Were So Turned On: A Tribute To David Bowie
A Benefit for War Child
Manimal Vinyl
11th October 2010
A project that began in early 2008 will at last see the light of day and grace itself upon the shelves of record shops across the world.
What began as a vague idea of fresh and seasoned artists paying homage to the man who invented the art of reinvention, David Bowie. War Child is a charity that helps children affected by war across the globe no matter what border they inhabit. A charity that Bowie makes no secret about supporting.
Within a few months, Devendra Banhart (Megapuss), Vivian Girls, Carla Bruni, A Place To Bury Strangers all came on board to contribute tracks.
By the summer of 2009, the record had began to take shape when the addition of pop legends Duran Duran, ex-Slits Viv Albertine and legendary avant-garde bassist/musician Mick Karn were added to the roster. Manimal friends and alumni’s, Warpaint, Chairlift and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros came on board by that autumn.
With a final track listing that is as diverse as it is chameleon-like, just like the thin-white duke himself, We Were So Turned On has something for every Bowie lover.

Horse Feathers UK Tour!
Horse Feathers will be returning to the UK this September. Justin Ringle has turned out to be a songwriter strongly influenced by the seasons. His Portland, Oregon-based band’s last record, the critically acclaimed House With No Home, was a winter album par excellence, from it’s chilly cover art to his frostbitten songs of loneliness and loss.
Their new album, Thistled Spring displays a rich progression – more textured and lush than the band’s previous two albums, it also captures the skilful interplay of the band’s current touring line-up of Justin Ringle, violinist Nathan Crockett, cellist Catherine Odell, and multi-instrumentalist Sam Cooper. UK Dates:
Sunday 12th September – North Dorset, End of The Road Festival
Monday 13th September – Brighton, The Hanbury Club
Tuesday 14th September – Manchester, The Kings Arms
Wednesday 15th September – Oxford, Jericho
Thursday 16th September – London, Luminaire
