Missoula band Tuyor Touk plays MCAT live, discusses touring with young children and name pronunciation

Tuyor Touk, a Missoula band, performed live on community station MCAT early Saturday morning and used the on-air interview to talk about touring with very young children, name pronunciation and a string of technical issues that interrupted the set.

The band told MCAT host Danny Bobby that touring has involved bringing infants and toddlers on the road. "The first tour, it was just Milo. Milo was 5 months old," a band member said; the band later said subsequent trips included "Milo, Stella, and Julian." The group also discussed the frequent public confusion about its name and entertained several mnemonic jokes from the host and callers.

During the broadcast the band played several songs including "4 Eyes, 2 Eyes, Green Eyes, Blue Eyes," "Coco Lamb," "Baby Food Comet" and "Wonderful." The performance was marked by on-air technical trouble: at one point a band member said, "Our keyboard's cracking out," and the group paused to troubleshoot equipment. The show also displayed a caller phone number, (406) 539-6021, which the band repeated several times for listeners who wanted to call in.

Host Danny Bobby prompted lighter discussion about the band's future. A band member answered a caller, "We'll probably be playing, Wembley Stadium," when asked where they saw themselves in 10 years. The conversation also included practical tour details: a band member said the first leg involved an 11-hour drive and that one infant slept through the trip.

The interview and set ran into brief interruptions while the band and station staff handled technical problems and on-air logistics; MCAT indicated another act, Wolf Red Boy, was scheduled to follow the set.

The discussion was conversational and anecdotal rather than policy-oriented; no formal actions or decisions were taken on air.
