Temptation

Alex McKinnon is a singer songwriter bassist based in Sydney Australia. She became frustrated with the lack of musicians that didn’t get her, so she. decided to write and produce just 3 of her songs and created this little  ep titled “Surrounded by Orca’s ” herself. 
Alex aka Ally played the Instruments, except the drum loops , wrote, composed and produced it her way. Alex is known for her aggressive style of bass slapping and singing simultaneously on stage. Alex is a self taught musician  and has formed bands that have played around the Sydney circuit such as Thunderpuss, The Ex President’s and Geronimo. This is an ep that’s building and accumulating her new material with some older songs which has resulted in an alternative rock funk type sound. Alex also writes her own lyrics is currently looking to get signed.

The Tea Party, the multi-Platinum selling, multi-Juno Award nominated trio consisting of singer/guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Jeff Martin, bassist and multi-instrumentalist Stuart Chatwood and drummer/percussionist Jeff Burrows has returned with Sunshower, a collection of five new songs that once again showcase their mastery of light and shade, and why they continue to occupy a unique place within the ever-changing musical landscape. 

Released on Nov. 26, 2021 through Coalition Music, Sunshower serves as a companion piece to the 2019 EP Black River, presenting a message of hope in the face of the most challenging year we as a society have endured so far in the 21st century. Together, the EPs will comprise the eventual full-length album Blood Moon Rising, officially marking the latest chapter in The Tea Party’s on-going saga. 

Since releasing its major-label debut album Splendor Solis in 1993, The Tea Party has come to be regarded as one of the world’s most innovative rock bands, with a sound that incorporates everything from traditional instrumentation from around the world, to cutting-edge digital technology. 

Now, after more than 30 years as a band, The Tea Party is ready to open a new chapter in its saga, a story that remains rooted in the goal to create new, ambitious, and thought provoking music.
