While it is true that the seductive local duo Tu Fawning—Joe Haege (of 31knots) and Corrina Repp (of Corrina Repp)—have doubled in size, it is not true that they did so by adding a couple plastic raccoons into the band. Nope, they went with actual human band members instead.

Liza Reitz (of Swords) and Toussaint Perrault (former Mercury contributor from way back when) have joined the Fawning fold, and the result is a brand spanking new EP with the fancy title of Secession. Recorded by Viva Voce’s Kevin Robinson, the six song recording will be released by local label Discourage Records (wow, what a website!) in mid-March.

The super-sized Tu Fawning will be playing January 25th at the Doug Fir with Cave Singers, and on February 8th again at the Doug Fir (but they were just there!) with Talkdemonic and Starfucker.
