Turkuaz Announces ‘None’s A Ton’ Concert Film Digital Release

Turkuaz will release a concert film, None’s A Ton, on Tuesday, March 31 via major streaming platforms like Google Play, Amazon and more. The Brooklyn-based funk outfit will also release the live soundtrack as a limited edition deluxe triple vinyl LP.

After a sold out premiere last fall in Brooklyn, None’s A Ton is seeing a wider release. Turkuaz frontman and guitarist Dave Brandwein co-directed the film with Turkuaz creative director Dani Brandwein. “After a long wait, we’re thrilled to finally be sharing this with the world,” Dave said in a statement. He also referenced the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. “And amidst a chaotic time where live music is basically illegal, it couldn’t be coming at a better time! We swear we didn’t plan this!”

The 100-minute movie — the band’ first feature-length film — includes career-spanning material from the New York nonet and captures the group in their “colors” era.

“This film is the culmination of 6 years of live touring, boiled down into a 100-minute film consisting of two sets,” Dani Brandwein explained. “Though the band moves onward to new horizons, we are very excited to have this version—the “colors era”—of our show forever captured on film and available digitally everywhere. We hope our fans are equally excited. So put it on the biggest screen you’ve got and turn it up loud!”

Turkuaz also released a statement via Facebook announcing the release and addressing the coronavirus pandemic. Read the statement and watch the trailer for None’s A Ton below:

It is with mixed emotions that we announce the wide release of our first live concert film, “None’s a Ton” available to rent or buy on March 31st on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Xbox, & Vimeo OnDemand.

It’s a scary time in the world, and our band, the entire entertainment industry, and nearly EVERY industry and walk of life have been completely blind-sided by this new and overwhelming reality. So many people’s futures are uncertain, and there is a lot of fear out there. Live music is often a way for people to find solace amidst the chaos in their lives, and to find a release from their every day struggles. And now, that escape has been compromised.

For that reason, perhaps the timing could not be better to finally share this film with the world. It’s the culmination of many years of live touring, boiled down to a 100 minute film. And it of course captures the “colors era” of our band which although is now behind us, is encapsulated here to relive forever.

We feel that we’ve captured the live Turkuaz experience so that you can enjoy it right in your own home, which seems eerily appropriate right now. Also eerily appropriate, is the title. We understand that it’s difficult for people to isolate themselves, but in order for this pandemic to pass as soon as possible it’s absolutely imperative that we all accept this reality. Staying inside and in isolation is the MOST you can possibly to do help. In other words: “None’s a Ton” – right now at this moment in time.

We will all get through this together, and though it will take time, it will pass. There will be a brighter day where we’re all together, celebrating the joy of live music. Until then, we hope this puts a smile on your face, and gets your body moving! Stay strong, and stay safe!
