Lissy Trullie Tour, CD Expanded Release

Debut Self-Taught Learner adds 4 tracks for Downtown Records version.

By Blurt Staff

Downtown Records recently signed NYC singer-songwriter Lissy Trullie - who, not so coincidentally, is featured in the current issue of BLURT, modeling some mighty fetching retro togs.

Word now arrives that on Oct. 20th, Downtown will rerelease her EP debut Self-Taught Learner with a mix of four new and previously unreleased compositions.  The month before, movie goers taking in Diablo Cody's (Juno) latest film "Jennifer's Body" (Out September 18th) will also hear Trullie's cover of the Hot Chip song "Ready For The Floor" as part of the film's original motion picture soundtrack, in stores August 25th.  As well as playing planned dates in the UK, France, and CMJ in New York, later this year Lissy Trullie will enter the studio with producer Bernard Butler to begin work on her full-length debut, which will be released on Downtown in early 2010.

This past February, after a year of building up a fan-base by playing gigs around New York,  Trullie released the EP on Brooklyn based indie label American Myth to critical acclaim. She also toured extensively and hit the late night talk-show circuit. The new songs added to the original EP include the original compositions "Don't To Do", "You Bleed You", "Hold Your Head", and a duet cover of Biz Markie's "Just A Friend" recorded with Adam Green.

Trullie and her band will be joining The Cribs and Adam Green for a UK tour this September.  In October Lissy Trullie will play the 2009 CMJ Music Festival before heading to France for Festival Inrockuptibles.
