[Competition] Win Black Tambourine collection on vinyl!

-

Formed in 1989 as a side project by members of Whorl and Velocity Girl, they soon recruited their mate Pam Berry as vocalist and released their first song, quixotically an instrumental, on Slumberland’s very first release. Two singles followed, along with a pair of compilation contributions. Alas, other obligations became more pressing and the band called it a day in 1991. Though their recorded output was quite limited, the music has continued to inspire indie, punk and indie-pop bands down the years. As the band’s twentieth anniversary arrives, just about any review of or article about a noisy pop band drops their name, and their influence on bands as diverse as Vivian Girls, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, A Sunny Day In Glasgow, Wavves and Dum Dum Girls is continuing proof of Black Tambourine’s legendary status in indie music.

This week sees the release of a self-titled collection of all their recorded output, including some previously unreleased tunes. We’ve got 2 copies of the record on vinyl to giveaway! Our very own Simon Gurney gushed over its goodness here.

The competition is now closed! Thanks for entering!

Happy Easter folks!
