Tropical Mutant Punk Funk
Biografia
Formed in 1995 in São Paulo, Brazil by artists Eliete Mejorado and Bruno Verner & infused with a contemporary Brazilian radicalism that pushes the boundaries of a hybrid vocabulary, Tetine have created a multitude of music & performance works from the spoken word to electronica, including ritualistic performances, films and video.
Their debut album Alexander's Grave was released in 1996 on their own label High School Records, leading to the birth of an homonymous performance integrating atonal electronic music and super-8 films over spoken and sung narratives. In 1998 Tetine released their second album Creme - a soundtrack for the dance group UR=HOR led by Brazilian performance artist Adriana Banana. In 1999 their third album Música de Amor (Love Songs) is released on High School Records.
In January 2000, Tetine established themselves in the UK, firstly as resident artists at Queen Mary University in London where they put out the CD Olha Ela De Novo (Here She's Again) their last release on High School. Later in 2001, Tetine is signed by avant-garde electronica artist Robin Rimbaud's (aka Scanner) UK imprint Sulphur Records and released their 4th album entitled Tetine vs Sophie Calle - Samba de Monalisa - an acclaimed collaborative electronica project with the French artist Sophie Calle. The album was very well received in Europe and Bruno and Eliete premiered it with a live performance at the Whitechapel Art Gallery within the project Tetine: The Politics Of Self Indulgence - an agitational baroque investigation into self-indulgence through a programme of film, video, & live music co-curated by Tetine with Ian White.
In 2003 Tetine performed Samba de Monalisa as a sound art performance around Europe and collaborated with other artists for distinct live actions.
Projects include the original score for Winterspace - a large scale installation by British duo Igloo and performance based collaborations with Brazilian artists Jarbas Lopes and Ducha for Gambiarra, New Art From Brazil curated by Gasworks Gallery and Capacete Entretenimentos. At the same year, Tetine releases their 5th album Men In Uniform on Brazilian independent label Bizarre Music followed by concerts in festivals such as RESFEST and art shows around the country.
In 2004 Tetine performed live at Sonar in São Paulo where they were also invited to take part at SONARAMA - Sonar' series of multimedia sound art installations specially commissioned for the Institute Tomie Otake. For SONARAMA Tetine created Turkish Bath - an immesrsive video/sound installation made up of four large scale projections with 16 men from various backgrounds in bathing situations.
Still in 2004, Tetine released their acclaimed compilation/mixtape Slum Dunk Presents Funk Carioca Mixed by TETINE on UK label Mr Bongo. FUNK CARIOCA was one of the first DJ mix of Baile Funk to appear in Europe, influencing an entire new generation of DJs and beat makers. At the same time, Bizarre Music put out their 8th artist album Bonde do Tetão.
In 2005 Tetine toured Europe, Brazil and made their USA debut playing M3 Summit at the Winter Music Conference in Maimi. A few months later Tetine released The Sexual Life of The Savages - an acclaimed album of obscure early 80's underground post punk from São Paulo curated by the band and released on Soul Jazz Records..
In 2006 Tetine play a special concert at the opening night of TROPICALIA - A Revolution in Brazilian Culture - at Barbican Centre in London alongside Brazilian multi-artist Assume Vivid Astrofocus. To celebrate and mark the occasion they released a 500 limited edition CD entitled L.I.C.K. MY FAVELA (Slum Dunk Music).
Still in 2006, Tetine take part at Ether 06 festival at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London playing alongside artists such as Chris Cunningham, Candie Hank amongst others. Other actions include live performances for museums, galleries and festivals such as Palais De Tokyo in Paris, The Wire - Adventures In Modern Music festival in Chicago, Museu Serralves in Porto, Liverpool Biennal, Hebbel Am Ufer in Berlin amongst many others. By the end of the year, the Berlin-based label Kute Bash Records re-releases L.I.C.K. My Favela in vinyl only.
In 2007 Soul Jazz Records release A História Da Garça – a mutant electro punk funk 12’ single with two new tracks. A few months later Tetine perform alongside Dizzie Rascal, Deize Tigrona and Buraka Som Sistema at Casa Da Música in Porto, Portugal and begin a series of shows in Europe. Highlights include the first installment of TROPICAL PUNK – an exhibit of radical contemporary Brazilian art and music with live shows and screenings curated by the band at Whitechapel Art Gallery as well as performances for Pablo Macho Magazine, Vice in Sweden amongst others.
The beginning of 2008 finds TETINE releasing their second single I GO TO THE DOCTOR followed by a full new alum entitled LET YOUR X's BE Y's on Soul Jazz Records. Performances from the album were shown in London, Portugal, Germany, France, Brazil and Italy.
Also in 2008 Tetine exhibited at COVER - an art show curated by Fernando Oliva at the Museum of Modern Art of Sao Paulo and completed a new sound piece entilted LET'S DO THE DREAM specially produced for the sound art exhibition OIDARADIO at Paco das Artes in Sao Paulo.
In 2009 Tetine have continued to tour Let Your X's be Y's around Europe. They have also been preparing a full new album to be released later in the year!
On another note, Bruno Verner and Eliete Mejorado have run the Slum Dunk radio show on Resonance Fm 104.4 - pretty much since the station's inception in London 2002. On Slum Dunk they keep playing all sorts of obscure and unexpected music from Brazil and beyond.
