SCREAMING TEA PARTY Golden Blue (2008 UK 7-track CD album - Screaming Tea Party are two parts Tokyo boys [Niyan on guitar and Koichi on bass] and one part English girl [Nell - on the drums]. Their background takes in the diverse worlds of being both classically trained and cutting their teeth in Japanese noise bands: this musical & cultural collision makes them truly unique. This mini-album perfectly showcases what a mercurial beast Screaming Tea Party are. From the snarling, Sabbath riffs of opener 'I'd Rather Be Stuck On The Stair Rail', to the Alice in Wonderland waltz of title track 'Golden Blue': here is a band that can change direction at the drop of a hat and sound equally at home making ear-bleedingly loud, thrash guitar work outs, to beautiful other worldly, psych-ballads.)
