Tea Eater
Bio:
No one’s more fun in the post (or present) apocalypse than Tea Eater. Fronted by Tarra Thiessen of Gustaf and Sharkmuffin, the New York City-based art punk band has made significant waves with frenetic performances, surf-rock-on-Neptune grooves and sucker punch tracks about hating the DMV.
Their debut LP Obsession, produced and mixed by Drew Vandenberg (Bambara/Faye Webster/Of Montreal) and released by A Diamond Heart Production/La Fam Recordings in October 2023 showcases the whirring power of their sound, inviting you to shed your baggage and transmute your neurosis into something worth dancing about.
Tea Eater have made a name in the Brooklyn music scene & beyond with their energetic shows & DIY drive. Since 2022 they have toured extensively; opening for Thee Oh Sees, releasing a split 7” with Chicago rockers Waltzer, touring the east coast/midwest, and completing a month long UK/EU tour including Kaltern Pop Festival, Cinetol Festival in Amsterdam, and headlining shows in Paris, Angers, Berlin and London.
Tea Eater started 2024 with the release of a remix of “Cosmic Coconut” by David Sound Wizard on a limited-edition star-shaped 7-inch vinyl. In February they had a residency in LA. In July they released an alternate version of "Fuck the DMV" and a cover of Liam Lynch’s "United States of Whatever" exclusively on Bandcamp, donating all sales to the NY Coalition for the Homeless. They toured the Midwest on their way to Mothland’s Distorsion Festival in Montreal. Additionally, Tea Eater released 7 music videos for songs off of their first record, Obsession. This October, they are set to release two new singles with Greenway Records before embarking on a 3 week European tour.
