Kay, Sam, Tun and Yann quickly became the best of friends and it didn't take long before they decided to set up a band in 2007 at the age of ten, a band that has grown into today's TUYS. Since that moment, the carousel has never stopped turning.
When they first began, the young boys actually didn't know how to play instruments or even read music. But they persevered and worked hard producing songs in German and Luxembourgish at first. After four years of growing together both musically and personally, their writing became more serious and the first songs in English emerged. Since then, they combine a multitude of influences into an interesting puzzle of indie, pop and alternative tunes shaping their very own genre.
In September 2012 TUYS released their first single "People" proving to be an instant success. It shot into the Luxembourg national charts on the radio station Eldoradio at number four. The song also reached number 10 in a separate "Air-play" charts. The success of "People" on national radio meant that TUYS was the third most broadcast Luxembourgish band of that year!
The band from Dudelange released their first EP in March 2013 also entitled "People" and played numerous concerts and festivals both in Luxembourg and abroad. Within the Grand Duchy the quartet played many festivals including e-Lake, Mess For Masses, and Food For Your Senses. And then in March 2014 the guys were thrilled to have the chance of supporting one of their most inspiring musical influences, "The 1975" at Luxembourg's largest venue, the Rockhal, motivating them further as a band.
TUYS has always strived to achieve more and were still searching for new directions. The guys decided to take a creative break together to write and seek inspiration, and it worked!
In September 2014 they finished preparing their new EP "Carousel". The guys got closer to their own special sound and indeed themselves.
Continuing in this merry-go-round frame of mind, TUYS plan a tour with their new EP "Carousel", released in April 2015. And the carousel will never stop.
