Fans of '90s-era Canadian college rock will be in their glory this Nov. 26, when newly minted trio TUNS makes its Winnipeg debut at the Good Will Social Club. Made up of Sloan's Chris Murphy, the Inbreds' Mike O'Neill and the Super Friendz' Matt Murphy, the group will release its self-titled debut album — a nine-song blast of melodic power pop — on Aug. 26 on Royal Mountain Records.
Pronounced "tunes," TUNS is an acronym for the Technical University of Nova Scotia, where the two Murphys (who are not related) "used to go for science fairs or to play basketball," according to a press release. The members' former bands often overlapped, touring together and playing on each other's album. (Sloan and the Super Friendz were founded in Halifax; the Kingston-formed Inbreds moved there in 1996).
