Fuzz indie rock band The Tamborines came to being when core duo Henrique Laurindo and Lulu Grave started recording a few songs on a 4-track tape recorder in their own bedroom in West London.
With a true DIY attitude the duo put together their own studio where they recorded and produced debut album ‘Camera & Tremor’ released in the summer of 2010 on the band’s own imprint Beat–Mo Records. With hints of the noir displayed by the Velvets, the fuzz of the Mary Chain and the lo-fi pop of Guided By Voices, ‘Camera & Tremor’ shows that The Tamborines have developed a sound of their own which has been accurately described as “a scalding blast of sculptured noise”.
The band has just finished recording their second album due to be release in 2012. Most recent double A side single ‘Black & Blue / Indian Hill’ has been on heavy rotation on BBC 6music (played by Steve Lamacq, Lauren Lavern, Tom Robinson and Gideon Cole) and several indie stations around the globe.
Having been awarded a grant from PRS for Music Foundation’s ‘British Music Abroad’ scheme, The Tamborines are now able to perform their US live debut at CMJ 2011 in New York which will allow greater exposure of their music and new opportunities both abroad and at home including the prospect of a new release and an international tour.
