MUSIC NEWS - Right from the sandy beaches of their native Sydney, Australia and onto the streets of New York City, folk-rockers TAMARAMA are making a major multi-media entry into American consciousness as one of early 2009’s breakout discoveries. Their new EP, WONDERLAND CITY (via Universal Motown), comes as the duo (Jay Lyon, Nicolas “Pottsy” Potts) play recurring roles as themselves on the new MTV series THE CITY. Jay is in particular focus as the new love interest of series co-star Whitney Port.
TAMARAMA’s warm vocal blend and acoustic arrangements instantly establish the band’s signature sound, a relaxed mix fusing American west coast folk-rock; the transatlantic singer-songwriter tradition that includes Paul Simon and Donovan; the softer side of Bob Marley; and the new acoustic style of Jack Johnson.
The band is currently wrapping up a West Coast US tour, and WONDERLAND CITY is available digitally on iTunes and now on cd at retail outlets and online (buy cd here). Check out their MySpace page! Aside from streams of four of the EP tracks, the band’s MySpace.com page also includes the reggae “Illusions” and two videos, the EP track “Everything to Me,” directed by Pottsy’s father, and “Middle of a Magazine.”
