Girl Jokes about Boy Parts released TODAY!

https://tamaraandthemartyrs.bandcamp.com/album/girl-jokes-about-boy-partsGirl Jokes about Boy Parts is released TODAY and not only that but this is also my 100th blog post. What a celebration!  Tonight Tom and I will be playing a few songs at our label's Christmas party at the Wheatsheaf.  Performing will be some great bands from Big Red Sky Records including Samuel Zasada, a personal favourite.

We have a limited number of CD copies of the album available and they also come with a rather cool lyric book. These will be ready in February but you can pre-order them here.  Merry Christmas and I hope you enjoy the album!

All Tamara's Parties #12 at Somerville College Chapel


Caroline Bird
Tamara
Friday the 13th finally came around and if you missed All Tamara’s Parties then boy did you miss out!  We covered the venue in clementines, candles, holly and chocolates for that Christmassy feel and it looked beautiful.  The smell of orange and chocolate filled the chapel as members of the audience arrived and began unwrapping sweets and peeling orange skin in anticipation of the first act…which was George Chopping with some hilarious poems to warm everyone up.  To follow was me, Caroline Bird, Ben Walker -who had everyone singing along to his Oxford song, Count Drachma and Candy Says with a stunning acoustic set to round off the night.  Garrett Coakley took these lovely pictures of the night and I’m so glad he was there to capture the magical atmosphere.  It looks like Somerville will be happy to invite us back for another show so stay tuned for more from ATP in the New Year.

I'm on the cover of Nightshift!


I did an interview for Nightshift Magazine and you can read it here on page 3.  We had a lot of fun at the photo shoot as you can tell. Our album is due out in just over a week and we are mega excited. More news to come soon!
