726.0. "Suddenly, Tammy!" by MAGIC::CRAVEN (Who watches the Watchmen?) Tue Jul 18 1995 17:48

    Here's another band that only one person I know has ever heard of.  Of
    course, this person was the one who told me about them.  I think they
    only have two albums out, and only one on a major record label.  The
    latest one is called "We Get There When We Do".  I believe they come
    from somewhere in PA.  
    
    The band consists of a singer/pianist, a bassist, and a drummer.  And
    you'd really be surprised at what they can do with just that.  I was
    very impressed with their sound.  I wish I could find out if/where
    they're playing live.
    
    So... has anyone else ever heard of them, even? :)

    I read a good review somewhere that raved enough about the piano 
    playing to make me consider checking it out.
    
    What's it like?

726.2*slurp*MAGIC::CRAVENWho watches the Watchmen?Wed Jul 19 1995 20:2511
    Hrmmm... let's see... I wish I could think of someone to compare them
    to, but I just can't.  The piano IS definitely wonderful.  There are
    more slow songs on this album than the first one.  But I still really
    liked it.  Their songs have just so much energy.  And the absence of a
    guitar doesn't bother me.  It might even be what I like about them.  I
    just love putting the CD in and turning off all the lights...
    
    I'd definitely recommend checking the CD out.  It was only $11.99 at
    Tower.

    Tori Amos is the closest thing I can think of, though obviously not as
    dark.

726.4Almost... ;)MAGIC::CRAVENWho watches the Watchmen?Tue Jul 25 1995 19:4811
    Yeah, I guess Tori Amos would be the closest thing...  And yes,
    definitely not as dark.  But... I don't know... they seem so much
    different from Tori to me.  A lot less dark, more uplifting.  But I'm
    so bad at describing things and making comparisons. ;)
    
    Though, for me, the closest thing to the lead singer's voice I've ever
    heard is probably Harriet Wheeler from The Sundays.  Though Beth isn't
    as high-pitched as Harriet, there's that same sort of... nasally
    quality, I guess you'd call it...

726.5Suddenly a Suddenly,Tammy! fanFABSIX::S_DARLINGThu Aug 03 1995 08:489
      
      Picked this one up last week,was almost going to pay $13.99 at 
   a place in Greendale Mall,wound up paying $9.99 at Newbury Comics.
   Actually this cd's worth the higher price.Really good stuff!!!
      I'd say if you threw together Tori Amos,Cyndi Lauper and the lead
   singer of The Breeders(her name escapes me)it would pretty much describe
   S,T's lead singers voice.
      I've had 'Not That Dumb'stuck in my head now for a couple of days.
    Thanks for the recommendation!!!!
726.6they are goodWBC::DEADYI like this resonance, it elevates me. BjorkMon Aug 14 1995 14:058
    I picked up Suddenly Tammy's CD this past weekend -- it is great. The
    keyboardist plays like Bruce Hornsby, and her voice reminds me of the
    Cranes' singer. This is a good tight sounding trio. Their sound is
    natural and strong, they may be quite successful.
    
    cheers,
