The Multi-Platinum selling Canadian band has had a long history and love affair with
Australian audiences, which began with the band first major label album recording -
Splendor Solis, The River, Save, A Certain Slant of Light. Picked up & championed
by Triple J, this album achieved Gold selling status. This early success was followed by the
critically acclaimed and Platinum Award selling release The Edges of Twilight;Fire in the Head, The Bazaar, Sister Awake, Shadows on the Mountainside. The success of these
albums cemented the band;s fan base and saw The Tea Party tour Australia 12 times
between 1994 and 2004.
After 15 years together, with 8 albums under their belts (1.6million + sold), and countless
tours through Canada, the United States, Europe & Australia, The Tea Party went their
separate ways in 2005. Creativity amongst the members continued with Jeff Martin
(vox/guitar) basing himself in Australia & touring consistently in solo/band mode with The
Armada & 777. Stuart Chatwood (bass/keyboards) took to composing video game
soundtracks, including all 8 titles in the series of The Prince of Persia which have gone on to
sell over 10 million copies, and Jeff Burrows (drums/percussion) continued to perform (with
band Crash Karma) whilst maintaining a Radio career.
Reuniting for a series of Canadian shows and festivals in 2011, The Tea Partys renowned &
powerful blues - rock - Indian/Middle-Eastern sound (utilising 12 string guitars and exotic
instruments such as sitars, sarods, harmoniums and goblet drums etc) received an
overwhelmingly positive response from fans & media alike which reignited the fire that once
was;
That they could come back after the better part of a decade apart and still sound so fresh,
vibrant, powerful and relevant is a testament to the enduring power of the music, a sound that
seems to exist in a separate universe than temporal or stylistic concerns. These guys just
simply came back and reclaimed the majesty and grandeur of the best guitar-driven rock
throughout the post-60s era - BUFFALO NEWS (New York) July 2011
As Jeff Martin himself states, The seven years apart has done wonders for The Tea Party.
With a renewed sense of purpose and vitality, the band is more powerful than ever with our
collective eye firmly on the future.
July 2012 will see The Tea Party return to Australia for a handful of shows around the
country on their Reformation Tour. In what will be their first National tour in 8 years, fans can
expect the fire to explode the very best of The Tea Party once again dont miss!
