Hummabyes

'Hummabyes' is adopted local lad Tim Guy's second full-length album and is a refreshing set of whimsical alt. country flavoured indie-pop songs, chock full of instantly "hummable" tunes, performed by some of NZ's finest musicians.

The recordings feature his band The Tutus, which consists of Anika Moa {vocals, bass} and Anna Coddington of Duchess {vocals, drums}, both acclaimed singer/songwriters in their own right, as well as special guest appearances from a few of Tim's mates, including Ed Cake, Jeremy Toy {Opensouls/Hollie Smith Band}, Age Pryor, Paul McLaney and Steve Abel. Tim recorded and produced the album and it was mixed by Ed Cake, and mastered by Chris Chetland at Kog in AK.

Tim Guy is originally from Melbourne, but these days he calls Auckland home. Back in '02 he met award winning singer/songwriter Bic Runga backstage after one of her gigs and gave her a demo tape of a few of his songs. Bic liked them so much she offered to produce his album and she ended up playing drums and guitar as well as lending her voice to the material as well. The resulting critically acclaimed album 'Blazey' was released in '04 on Bic's label Nu Shoo Records. Tim played support for Bic on her Acoustic Churches tour that year, performing 25 shows to over 15,000 people, and since then he has been in constant demand touring with the likes of Anika Moa, Miriam Clancy, Paul McLaney, Age Pryor, Steve Abel and the group Tommy, as well as undertaking his own 33 date solo tour in '06.
