Tam

Tam first started playing rhythm guitar in a Django Reinhardt cover band, "swing dynamic" in 1990, 6 years later she left the jazz world to form an Oasis cover band, then switched to her won material. Initially called the Butchershop with ex-go Van Gogh members, the first cd was recorded, also working with leloup guitarist Mark Lamb. Later 'the vampires' was born and a 6 song CD was recorded at Joey's studio in Montreal. Tam then left to do a small solo tour of Manchester, UK, to promote the CD, performing at night and day, star and garter and of course, the blue cat in Heaton moor. She dropped off her demos at Peggy Gallagher's house and is impatiently awaiting support from Noel's big brother label.

She soon began tracking down Thurston Moore who defiantly played one of the many CDs she kept throwing at him and he got hooked. He compiled his favorite Tam tunes in this somewhat retrospective CD. Most are originals - some, like Arcade Fire's "No Car Go" are cover. They are all great.
