The welsh duo Mandy to release it’s debut EP “Cross country rollerskating” on March 5, 2014 (tbc)

MANDY is Andy Fung and Melanie Fung. They spend all their time writing and making music & art. They live in Cardiff and sometimes they take all the furniture out on the street and film really good musicians having a JAM. Cross Country Roller-Skating is a 5 track debut EP. They are recording the first album “Universe” now !

For those of you who didn’t know. In 2009 Mel also released her debut single Hey Julie by another duo of hers The MeMeMe’s on the label.

Liner notes by Mel below:

1. Tracy put your knife down
I wrote Tracy first when my best friend woke up at the hospital and a fellow patient we will call her ‘Tracy’ (for that was her name) was standing over her bed with a knife.

2. They fuck you up
Then I wrote Fuck you up when I was asked to write something for a literary/music performance evening under the subject MOTHER I borrowed the famous line from a Philip Larkin poem right at the end ‘They fuck you up your mum and dad – they might not mean to but they do.’ We performed it at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff.

3. and 4. Back to Eugene’s / George and Lornas Secret Romance

Lorna and Eugene I just sang to Andy in the car when we were going surfing a lot.

5. I like talking
I like Talking was written over a summer of festivals in my mind it’s a love song.
