Embark on a musical journey with The Trudy's latest release “Outside Time” Out December 8th
Key tracks are:
Where The Roses Grow is a progressive nature trail, all wrapped up with The Trudy’s trademark pop poetry. With flutes & acoustic guitar, and with hints of Sonja Kristina and Curved Air echoing in the distance, you could place this song in any decade. This is where The Trudy belong.
Dear Sancho is The Trudy’s cinematic literary opus. Following the curious relationship between Cervantes’ mad knight-errant Don Quixote and his everyman squire, Sancho Panza, it’s a soaring reprise that asks: how can we reach out to dreams, when we’re consumed by delusion? The aching cadence of Melissa Jo Heathcote’s vocals casts shifting shadows as the song builds toward its epic conclusion.
Then Every Story Ever Told, the recently released single, is a folk song posing as a sea shanty, with a massive message about life. With Sandy Denny influences proudly on display, Melissa Jo Heathcote’s lyrics evoke the beauty of the sea and take the listener on harmonious maritime voyage.
Giants Theme - spaghetti Westerns from London, as the Sancho motif weaves its way in and out of this voyage.
For the die-hard fans of punk pop, we have Pop Pop. Massive guitars & drums, with sneering, but sweet, vocals about the inevitable loss of love. Catch this Trudy track while you can. We may not hear its like again as The Trudy plot a new course with a set of follow up songs to be released next year.
Formed in 1979, and having been through many incarnations, London band The Trudy are currently a trio comprising Melissa Jo Heathcote (vocals), Del Tagg (guitar) and Peter Tagg (drums).
The Trudy released a number of successful indie singles and an album 'Tune-In To The Trudy Love-Ray!' Becoming well known for their energetic live performances, they attracted rave reviews and regular radio airplay. The band went their separate ways in 1994, as members pursued solo TV and radio projects. But the calling was strong. In 2006 The Trudy were reactivated and since then have attracted a new wave of fans with singles such as ‘Oh!’, ‘Lost Summer of Love’ & ‘Dirt Cheap Melody’, and the 2016 album ‘Always Never Beautiful Forever’. The Trudy’s cover of ‘Day Is Gone’ from the acclaimed compilation ‘Leader Of The Starry Skies: A Tribute to Tim Smith’ received plays on BBC 6 Music.
