: PRESS QUOTES
"Without a doubt Tuys are one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the Luxembourgish music scene [...] If the reception they received from the Rock-A-Field crowd was anything to go by, they should be have plenty of support on their way to the next stage of their careers." - Luxemburger Wort
"Cette énergie rock se prolongeait ensuite sur la moyenne scène, où Tuys avait pris place. Le groupe indie-pop luxembourgeois mêlait habilement rock et groove, avec un véritable sens de la mélodie, à l’image du single «Carousel»." - L’Essentiel
"I's like to use this opportunity to tell you about some of the fantastic international artists who are playing at this year's TGE. First up are Luxembourg's TUYS who play the Fender Paramount Stage on Thursday." - The Great Escape, Must Sees
: BIOGRAPHY
TUYS is a Luxembourgish Indie band from Dudelange (LU) and officially formed in 2007. The group consists of Sam Tritz (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Tun Biever (lead guitar, additional vocals), Yann Gengler (bass, additional vocals), and Kay Gianni (drums). Their influences include danceable pop-influenced indie (Two Door Cinema Club, The 1975), to more eclectic, experimental indie (Alt-J), and even alternative rock with a harder and progressive edge (Foals, Biffy Clyro).
The quartet has released two EPs and few stand-alone singles since then. 'People', their first single released in 2012, became an instant success, reaching the number four spot on Luxembourg’s national charts. The positive response to the single consequently resulted in the success of their first EP (also named 'People') released in March 2013 as well as in supporting slots for The 1975 and The Kooks.
'Carousel', their second EP self-released in April 2015, which was considered a more ambitious and mature project than their first short length record by the local media, only emphasised TUYS’ positive reputation among their national peers and secured them festival gigs on a local as well as international scale. The EP spawned two singles: 'Dance' and 'Carousel'.
TUYS are currently recording their still untitled debut record, scheduled to be released in 2018.
