Black Tea House - http://www.myspace.com/blackteahouse BIO: After hitting the studio in March 2010 to polish a new sound, Black Tea House knew the direction they were headed in. Brian Chapman created the Melbourne band, Black Tea House to bring to life the contemporary pop, indie and alternative rock tracks that have been influenced by the sounds of Jet, Live, Radiohead and Crowded House. Brian fronts the band with vocals and rhythm guitar and pencils all the tunes, a lead guitarist, keyboardist, bass player and drummer make the five piece line up. Brian has shared the stage with the likes of The Living End, Screaming Jets, The Angels, Superjesus, Hoodoo Gurus, Taxiride, Joel Turner, Russell Morris, TMG, Billy Thorpe and Mental as Anything and many more. All influenced and all responsible for growing the musician. The band is new to the scene. Although have been playing around the traps as individuals, 2010 is geared for exciting times ahead. You will be hearing and seeing this band in a venue or festival near you soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
