djmelbatoast Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I can remember a time when I liked the Tea Party. They played a couple of sets that tripped me right out at various Edgefest's. They have sucked for many years now, but it could be cool to see him play with a tabla player.

Patchoulia Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 My one and only Jeff Martin encounter...Some random weekday night at Grossman's, several years back..he sashayed in with his "entourage", got up onstage (to the surprise of the band that was playing), grabbed the mic and started babbling incoherently. He seemed quite vexed when the meagre audience didn't burst into applause at his presence.The 8 people who were there were perplexed by this turn of events.The 6 people who remained in the bar could tell you better than I could what happened after that.

Jaimoe Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 (edited) I'm all over this show. My dreams have finally come true. Jeff Martin is finally let loose from the constrictions of The Tea Party, playing acoustically accompanied by instruments that remain true to his soul, Indian tablas. Move over Rahat Fateh Ali Khan or bow down to your new master. Edited November 7, 2006 by Guest Jeff Martin is God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I love this board. Please, more Jeff Martin testimonials, anecdotes, accusations... bring 'em on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backbacon Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Let me guess, Jeff Martin will appear to be not happy to see anyone out at the show. He will be on stage and look around the place as though he would rather be anywhere else on the planet. He won't smile because he has long ago decided that he looks the coolest that way. He won't show any enthusiasm over the entire evening. He will play some wacky wind up wooden box type instruments and carry on as though he was the one who actually invented the apparatus. The tabla players will wish they toured without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 He's a fucking prick but it's a shame because when the first album came out I dug them. Jeff Martin doing rails in the bathroom at Gypsy Co-Op in 2001...confirmed...but not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balogna pogna Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I remember when they did interviews for the first album and he kept claiming that he couldn't understand why people compared him to Jim Morrison.Well pal, you have your hair like Jim Morrison, you are going out of your way to sing like him, and you write your lyrics like you just ate some acid and are starting to peak out huge.What a tool.

Guest Low Roller Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I could give a fuck if the guy is a prick or not, Tea Party made some great music. I still listen to their stuff from time to time. Their last album Seven Circles was mostly produced by Bob Rock of Metallica fame, and made for a nice hard rock moment; nowhere near as pretentious as The Interzone Mantras which was a pile of rubbish.Didn't Tungsten G help produce one of their albums at the studio in Morin-Heights?

Patchoulia Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Jeff Martin, born Andrew Kirby, Age 14: How can I make myself MORE like Jim Morrison? Lessee lessee..first off, gotta change my name...James Morrison? Jeff Morrison? Jeff Mortinson? Jeff Martin. Yeah, that's the ticket. No one will ever make the connection. Cultivated fluffy brunette mane of my rock-god lizard king hero? Check! Concave, train-wreck of a chest on display? Check! Next stops on this track...death in Paris, Kilmer homage...

AD Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 The first two real albums were awesome, and their live shows kicked ass at that time, but as soon as they started going in the acoustic and electronic directions (at different times) everything got weak.I now despise Jeff Martin. I wonder what the other two are up to. Dude was a monster drummer.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaggerLee Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I loved the Tea Party's first two albums and their early shows. They were the first show I saw in a bar back in '94. I was 17 and got in with an older cousin's ID. Good times.They definately went downhill quite a few years ago though, and Martin certainly seems like a self-absorbed prick.

Jaimoe Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I've actually never seen a bigger guitar poser than Jeff Martin. He's never played one guitar solo, but still shows off all of his expensive toys and gadgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
