The Bing Turkby Ensemble with Neobreed, Black Chrome and The Nerines: an all-star lineup!

In a world first for a rock band, the Bing Turkby Ensemble are releasing a concept album, a fantasy novella to go with it, and a set of collectable trading cards!

Yep, Jim K, the manager of the Bing Turkby Ensemble, has finally phoned in from a Jacuzzi in Ulan Bataar, and set a release date for the new BTE album. "Summon Forth the Mangonel" will be released into the wild at the Royal in Palmerston North on Saturday August 13th, 2011.

This album has been meticulously crafted at HotBox studios, and is one of the most anticipated TurkbyTone Rekkids releases of the year! The album follows the BTE in their spiritual quest for the Sword of Xanthros; travelling through time and space, overcoming adversity and ultimately triumphing.

The fantastic artwork has been crafted by Hayden Lauridsen, and includes 4 spectacular trading cards featuring members of the BTE.

For you literary types, Bing has written a book to accompany the album. It's a 20,000-word action/fantasy/comedy/stupidity novelette called "Tour Trouble", featuring the BTE members and sundry henchmen, mages and bakers. See a preview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFohHJL_dcw.

The stage will be decked out as a medieval castle, and certain parts of the concept album will be played out for your enjoyment.

You can listen to tracks and pre-order the album and book at turkby.bandcamp.com. Discover other TurkbyTone releases on the website.

Prize for best medieval knight-style getup, and best cardboard sword!
