Fink tour dates for 2009

Fink began his recording career as a producer and DJ on legendary British label Ninja Tune, whose N-Tone sub-label released his “Fresh Produce” LP back in 1999, which remains an underground trip-hop classic. He honed his skills as a world-class Ninja DJ, remixer, and songwriter by working with the likes of John Legend, Elbow, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Martin Taylor, Robert Belfour, Amy Winehouse and actor Michael Pitt, while realising his strengths as a lyricist, guitarist, and vocalist. In 2006 Fink was reincarnated as Ninja Tune’s first ever singer-songwriter, releasing the critically-acclaimed “Biscuits for Breakfast” LP and supporting Zero 7 on their UK tour in-between his own sold-out headline and festival performances across Europe and North America.

Fink’s follow-up, “Distance and Time,” was released in October 2007, and is the first artist album produced by Andy Barlow (Lamb). The first single, “This is the Thing,” was famously used as the backing track to a major television advertising campaign in 2008, bringing Fink’s distinctive sound and writing style to a much wider audience than ever before. Immersed in a very personal labour of love, this Bristol-bred artist is forging an exceptional career with insistent, heartfelt songs, bruised basslines, and an achingly soulful voice. Fink and his band continue to tour internationally whenever they are not in the studio writing.
