About

Debut single from these London-based Brazilians. The Tamborines are a Brazilian born London based fuzz rock band. Their debut US release, “Sally O’Gannon” EP (PSRCD-042) has been a long awaited affair but one you will agree was well worth the wait. The CD contains four adventurous tracks – the fuzzy guitar intro and thumping drums make “Sally O’Gannon” an instant pop classic. The soft acoustics and sweet melodies of the AA-side “Be Around” show you The Tamborines aren’t just about noisy guitars. The psychedelic garage pop atmospheres of “Come Together” drift throughout – capping it off with a hip mid 60’s guitar break. The EP was self produced and recorded in Oxford, England with Mark Gardener (Ride), Frank “Teardrop” Emerson (The Brian Jonestown Massacre), and mastered at RPM studios, London. The Tamborines came to being when core members Lulu Grave (Keyboards, Percussion) and Henrique Laurindo (Guitar, Vocals) started recording some songs on a 4 track in their own bedroom in West London. They have been rapidly gaining acclaim throughout London with their mind-blowing synthesizer heavy, tripped out live shows. Raised on a diet of underground indie, Bergman movies and distorted guitars, The Tamborines combine their daydreaming sound with an art aesthetic that blends West Coast Pyschedelia with the noir of The Velvet Underground. The result is jangly guitar pop and hypnotic hazy retro organ with almost unsettling undertones. The band has released several EP’s and has appeared on several compilations. In 2005, the 7” single “What Took You So Long” was released in the UK by Decadent records. It was followed in 2006 by the limited edition 7” single (on yellow vinyl) of “Sally O’Gannon” via Sonic Cathedral (UK). Since then, The Tamborines have worked with producer Brian O'Shaungnessy (My Bloody Valentine, Primal Scream, more recently The Clientele.) and Tim Holms (Death In Vegas, etc.). The band is currently playing various festivals – they will be appearing at the 10th Truck Festival in Oxford, England and look to have an LP out on the horizon…
