Atlanata, GA. (Top40 Charts/ Bad Taste Records) - Fueled by the fire of their current release STRANGE JOURNEY VOLUME ONE (Bad Taste Records), hip-hop trio CUNNINLYNGUISTS have announced dates for their 2009 'Strange Journey' US Tour, kicking off November 10 in Atlanta, GA.
The new tracks, production work and remixes that appear on STRANGE JOURNEY VOLUME ONE span an array of stylistic inspiration that displays what makes CUNNINLYNGUISTS a hip-hop anomaly. Sampling genres from psych-rock to blues, new romantic and polka, the group has been compared to UGK and Atmosphere in the same breath, while producing tracks for everyone from Lil' Scrappy to KRS-One, as well as sharing stages with Kanye West and Aesop Rock to equal success.

Joining CUNNINLYNGUISTS for the 'Strange Journey' Tour is fellow Bad Taste Records artists LOOPTROOP ROCKERS-the European hip-hop pioneers who released their new album GOOD THINGS on August 25. In this new collection of songs, the ever-expanding musical explorations and message laden lyrical depth of LOOPTROOP ROCKERS is displayed, highlighting the work of the influential group that exists as forerunners of the independent movement.
