PRESS

"I was drawn to the set, not only for the music.. but because of the energy.. they love performing and it shows because they're genuinely having a good time… I started to think that this is what music is for. It's here for us to enjoy ourselves and dance our asses off." Robert Giovi, Joonbug

"What struck me most about the band at Friday’s show wasn’t necessarily what a good time everyone was having. This is a band that truly understands funk. Funk as a form, as a style, as a way of making music. Their original numbers have a creativity in the melodies–and that ever important funk bass line–that makes me love the songs, but also respect the band... one of my Best of CMJ 2008." P. Elizabeth Cawein, FADER

"The funkiest of the funk... a band overflowing with the most soul and funk in the tri-state area... After their sold out show at the Bowery Poetry Club last month, the streets were overcrowded with joyous fans ready to continue on the night." CULTUREMOB

Bio
Born as a side project by co-founders Dave Brandwein and Taylor Shell, Turkuaz was formed in Boston in February 2008. Unbeknownst to Dave and Taylor, a demo of theirs had been submitted to Berklee College of Music's Heavy Rotation Records by a friend. Heavy Rotation immediately added Turkuaz to their annual showcase at the Berklee Performance Center. Dave and Taylor formed the current 10-piece band from amongst their musician friends. Turkuaz's first show was to 1,000 people at the BPC and was met with rave reviews. After 8 months in the Boston music scene, the band migrated as a whole to Brooklyn, with the intent of bringing their brand of funk to New York. Turkuaz is known throughout New York City and the east coast as the band that plays louder, faster, and harder than all the rest. The stage show is electric. With two independent album releases, west coast and east coast tours, a solid and ever-growing fanbase, and the desire only to get bigger, Turkuaz continues to sell out venues from San Francisco to Manhattan. They plan on perfecting their brand and continuing their upward trajectory at concerts and festivals across the country.
