Press Release Three years in the making, ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ showcases bigger and bolder sounds that have been building from the tenek studio. Each track having a common theme throughout, “Things are not what they seem…” – tenek. This album was designed to offer a variety for both listening audiences (live or on-air), as well as for global sync licensing opportunities. Taking things to a new level, the band enlisted the talents of additional musicians such as: Paul Jackson (bass player from the well-known 80’s British pop band T’Pau), Australian-based Sam Morrison (bass), Michael Steer (bass) and newly added band member Steve Clark (drums/vocals). Since tenek’s second album (‘On The Wire’ – 2010) the 2 recently released EPs (‘Another Day’ and ‘What Kind of Friend?’) were successful tests of the the new direction the band has been taking their music.
Press Release Tenek in 2010 are invigorated and unstoppable. Back from a major European tour with DE/VISION, Tenek are already creating a buzz with the announcement of "Blinded By You". Having been road-tested on live audiences over the past few months, "Blinded By You" has already established itself as one of their most infectious and anthemic crowd pleasers to-date. It has all the elements that you would expect from them. A solid electro groove with nods to the past, present and future and a hook that is simply relentless. Perfectly crafted synth pop which the fans adore, with mass appeal and cross-over potential. For this release, the song has been reworked in both single and extended formats by Shaun 'Dubby' Brooks and continues his long line of his remixes for the band. An original album version will appear on their forthcoming album "On The Wire" which goes on general release in September 2010. The single also contains an exclusive b-side "Synchronise" which is unique to this release.
