Tea Party (Canadian band)

Anybody else here like these guys? Their style is often referred to as "Moroccan Roll". The singer Jeff Martin sounds a lot like Jim Morrison, especially on the first few albums.

A Canadian girl I knew loved them. She made me a mix tape and I dug it but never delved more into them. I chose to explore Our Lady Peace instead.

I had an ex who raved on and on about them. Never actually listened to an album though.

Pretty good band. I have Splendor Solis, Transmission and Tryptych. I like Transmission the best. The SS album sort of reminds me of Led Zeppelin.

very solid band....their debut "Splendor Solis" was slammed as a DOORS/LED ZEP knock off...but it's a great disc...

I never got the second disc but "Transmission" is a benchmark....classic and modern at the same time....strong and rockin'

I did not like "Triptych" and that was the last I listened to anything by them.

Ditto

never heard of them. i like the grindcore band Preschool Tea Party Massacre though.

I had Splendor Soils way back in the day and didn't care for it, from what I remember.

Their 2nd album The Edges Of Twilight is great, a must get IMO.

She was such a B*itch that I never actually listened to them out of spite.

I had Transmission for a long time. listened to it once, only liked the first song. I ended up selling it on ebay a couple weeks ago. I dont miss it.

I love 'em. Particuarly their world music flavour, shades of Brian Jones era Stones.

The Edges Of Twilight is predictably my favourite.....i really like TRIPtych as well.

Down in Australia their incredibly popular, i think it's their biggest market other then their homeland. Jeff Martin comes down once a year and does his solo show and packs them in. He's really great solo live.

My best friend used to listen to them over a decade ago a lot. I never really got into them. Maybe I'll ask him for his albums to give it a spin.
