Biography

Portland, United States

Tu Fawning is a Portland, Oregon four piece band started by Corrina Repp and Joe Haege, augmented soon after its inception by members Liza Rietz and Toussaint Perrault. Haege (current member of Menomena and founder of 31Knots) was a longtime fan of Repp’s hushed and understated emotional approach to songwriting, which has always had a strong following in Portland. This brought them to work together on Repp’s last solo album, which was the first “outside” release for Mark Kozelek’s (Red House Painters) artist-owned Caldo Verde records. To the surprise of both of them, they found themselves crawling out of their respective shells to create a new and exciting process that was nowhere near its end.
Once the decision had been made to start a full blown project together, Repp and Haege quickly realized the strongest foundation they could call upon would be their mutual love for timeless melodies that are as as they are otherworldly, replete with beats that have passed through the hands and hearts of anyone in love with primal rhythm and cadence. Once Rietz (former member of Swords) and Perrault had joined the four piece found themselves all shedding old artistic skins and taking on new roles as musicians, from Miss Repp seamlessly holding her own with a new found prowess on the drums to Mr. Haege, a former “carnival barker” and screamer of prog-pop, writing four-part harmonies.
