The Tea Party will play at Metropolis December 2^nd and are sure to rock the joint. The Tea Party started out in Windsor, O­ntario 21 years ago. Led by vocalist/guitarist Jeff Martin, along with bassist/keyboardist Stuart Chatwood and drummer Jeff Burrows, their early influences like The Beatles evolved towards Middle Eastern music. They have opened for the likes of Page & Plant and Ozzy Ozbourne and front man Martin evokes the look of Jim Morrison, although their sound is comparable to early Led Zeppelin. The Tea Party takes a more philosophical and literary approach to the themes of their songs. Fire In The Head, Lullaby, Walking Wounded and Mantra will be among the wide array of songs performed o­n this homecoming of sorts. The band does not present your typical of rock "cars and girls" type tunes. "You're in a position where you really have, I don't want to say power, but influence, and why not use it towards something that you appreciate and could improve someone's life," says drummer Jeff Burrows. It all makes for a truly excellent live show. Be sure to catch The Tea Party o­n their Montreal stop.
