TU

Tu biography
Trey Gunn (Touch Guitar) and Pat Mastelotto (drums, rhythmic devices) met for a first time at Peter Gabriel's Real World studio in spring 1993. After several months touring the globe with David Sylvian and Robert Fripp they were invited into King Crimson.

In November 2002, a few months after mixing the King Crimson TPTB CD, they both stayed in a studio in Seattle and recorded some jamming material. This improvisation session was soon received as their first album under the TU name.

In April 2004 they toured Russia (live for a first time). Their gigs were mostly improvisational, and often added some other musicians participated (TU+2). Their another side-project was common band with Finnish Kluster duo (under the common name KTU).

In Los Angeles TU was joined by Iranian singer Azam Ali and Eels drummer Butch for live show. In 2007 TU joined TOOL for two shows.

Being still a side Project, these few albums recorded are really interesting evidence , containing experimental instrumental music, influenced by later King Crimson and jazz-rock as well. If not a great attraction for wide public, the albums are really interesting material for KC, Trey Gunn and Pat Mastelotto fans.
