The Tea Party

[sodamntired]

ok, so it's like this. I own a couple albums by them, and a few singles...but it wasn't until a couple nights ago that I began to really listen to them. they are very very good. I think I will burn a copy for a buddy at work and tell him they sound like "Nine Inch Nails meets Jim Morrison."

 

Any other fans on the Bored?

Horrible band.

"Nine Inch Nails meets Jim Morrison."

guh? how?

[sodamntired]

from wikipedia

 

released in 1997 saw The Tea Party's first foray into electronica, the sound not unlike Nine Inch Nails

 

 

and there's a few times Jeff Martin's voice reminds me of Morrison. and

 

 

deal with it.

I enjoyed their albums. I saw them play a few times and always enjoyed that as well. They used to cover DCD songs all the time, and that endeared them to me. They also did an orchestral tour in 2002 that was fabulous (even though it was sponsored by duMaurier).

 

Jeff Martin's solo effort was contrived and pretentious though...kinda spoiled everything for me.

oh, well... if wikipedia says so...

 

i know he looks like jim morrison. i get it. you didn't need to post pictures. he's more jim morrison than i'll ever be. but if you say something is "oneband meets anotherband" then you're saying that not only does the band sound like those aforementioned acts, but is also of the same quality. the tea party ≠ nine inch nails or the doors. they might try to sound like them, but do they ultimately succeed??? i think not. put that in your camera phone and smoke it.

k. you're right.

 

Yay You!!

I've said before, I don't think they are bad. I hated them for a while because they went to my highschool and everyone loved them based on the fact that they went to our highschool.

 

Now the one guy is a DJ for our local rock station. Good times.

The Tea Party is really not all that bad, they did something really nice while playing here in Buffalo just after Sept 11, 2001, during Save Me, Jeff said "This is for those who gave their lives, in order to save others" and moved into Heroes by David Bowie, followed by Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley.

Are you saying they're not bad people, or their music isn't that bad because they played some covers in honour of people who died during the 9/11 attacks?

 

I totally don't see how that act is significant at all in determining the quality of their catalogue.

There're a few songs I like but I never really checked more deeply into their discography.

Another Windsorite like myself?

[borntohula]

u guys should totally hook up.

Maybe. I believe my locale is "please don't try and find me"

The Tea Party

Hasn't been good since the album Transmission. Oh, and they sucked before that too... so they were only good for the one album

[CanadianMaple09]

Nah, I have a girlfriend lol. I'm actually from Sarnia, just in Windsor for university... so not a true Windsorite I guess, although I like it much better than Sarnia.

I liked the whole world music/rock fusion thing they had going for awhile, and the darker poetic lyrics and such. I picked up their Greatest Hits, and it satisfies enough. Temptation is still a sweet, sweet song. Now I want to listen.
