Tiny Monroe

Widely hailed in the united kingdom music press a long time before that they had ever released an individual, this London, Britain pop/glam troupe are led simply by striking vocalist and songwriter NJ (b. Glasgow, Scotland, of Indian history). Having originally constructed in their regional Camden pub, each member a veteran of many previous rings, the glowing impressions had been first gained on support trips headlined by 1st the Cranes after that Curve. The music group is finished by Richard Davies (acoustic guitar), Dan Neumann (drums), Steven Walker (acoustic guitar) and Garry Becker (bass). Their spunky debut solitary, the guitar-led ‘VHF 855V’, was finally released by the end of Feb 1994 on Lush supervisor Howard Gough’s fresh Laurel Information label. Its name and theme had been influenced by NJ’s Ford Escort car specifically, and life for the dole within the country’s capital generally. Certainly operations had been on the shoestring; their supervisor admitted to presenting spent the trip returning through the band’s ‘In The Town’ showcase within the teach’s toilet in order to avoid having to pay the fare. NJ also made an appearance within a BBC Tv brief film, The Traveller, where she performed a ‘sexless alien’, after getting spotted with the manufacturer while using Tiny Monroe. Her various other artistic outlet is normally painting. After the mass media hype had resolved, the band focused on documenting their debut record, that was a reliable mixture of hook-laden pop (‘Snake WITHIN THE Grass’) frequently thickened up with some gutsy electric guitar (‘Battle Bone fragments). Tones of both Debbie Harry (Blondie) and Annabella Lu Get (Bow Wow Wow) creep to their sound without detracting from the entire enthusiastic freshness of the work.
