Bloomington band Tammar makes rare NYC visit this weekend for three area shows
Bloomington, Indiana’s Tammar is making a rare visit to New York City this weekend, playing three shows in three nights in support of their debut full-length, Visits (Suicide Squeeze, September 20, 2011). The seven-track, forty-five-minute disc bristles with epic-sounding psychedelic rock that soars with lilting, heavenly melodies, courtesy of lead singer Dave Walter, percussionist Josephine McRobbie, guitarist Evan Whikehart, drummer Sarah Wyatt Swanson, and keyboardist Ben Swanson (who also runs the Secretly Canadian record label, which features Jens Lekman, Antony and the Johnsons, Here We Go Magic, Yeasayer, and others). Tammar will be at Cameo in Brooklyn for a record release party on October 28 ($10, 8:00) with Heaven’s Gate and Spindrift, followed by visits to the Lower East Side at Pianos on October 29 ($10, 10:00) with Gross Relations, Little Racer, and the Rotaries, and Bowery Ballroom on October 30 ($15, 9:00) with Moonface and Talkdemonic.
