i was in Edmonton with good friends when Mr Martin said, "any one says any SHIT about the Doors..we walk! or something like that..it was a great show.....
Apparently these lyrics are supposed to be representing 'Hamlet'. Hamlet's father being killed in the war, his uncle marrying his mother, Hamlet's rebuke of her for replacing his father etc.
Re the doors thing. yes Jeff does look like Jim, but Jeff is a fantastic musician. His bands have a mystic guitar sound ... the doors were very heavily keyboard laced ... Doors did alot of happy stuff ... Tea Party ... not so much ... would these comparisons be made if Jeff had short blonde hair and was fat? I doubt it. Both amazing bands regardless ...
@Broski0078 The intro for Sister Awake has a lot of the newer Page/Plant middle Eastern vibe, I thought. But NO BAND on earth could have the Zeppelin chemistry. Nothing comes close.
It's hard to not make Jim Morrison and Led Zeppelin comments. I really like Tea Party but come on now. The bassist even has the ridiculous John Paul Jones haircut from The Song Remains The Same concert! And as far as the Jim Morrison part, He looks and sings like him!
i was front row at summer in the park in north bay ontario 2011! got an extra wristband signed by the band and gave Jeff martin a joint of OG KUSH! i hope he enjoyed it!
Guys, I'm sure the Doors comparisons are annoying for fans, but they did sound like a modern alternative version of The Doors. It's not just that he looks, sounds, and chooses to dress like Jim... their sound was VERY similar, especially in the beginning. I was a big fan of these first few albums when they came out but was irritated by how they handled being compared to The Doors, and not wanting to admit they were such an influence, which they clearly were. I thought it was disrespectful.
@RuinOrPeace Sometimes you are going to have similarities without intent and just because they didn't admit to being influenced by the Doors doesn't mean they actually were. You're irritation is somewhat silly and inconsequential.
@RuinOrPeace Maybe a bit. Cannot deny that. But they have soo many choices of sound they make the doors redunant. Some say Zepplin and doors crossbreed. I say nope. A whole sound their own. Not to mention lyrics. They are their own. Brillant at that!!!!
@RuinOrPeace I found he looked alot like Jim in the videos, but in the interviews he looked way different. I had their albums and i found it was a rip off of the doors and led zepplin. I liked it tho....the drummer is amazing....I still think that!
OK instead of making the usual Doors/Morrisson comparisons i will say this instead: I haven't seen anyone using a violin bow on guitar since Jimmy Page on the song Moby Dick. Happy? lol This song made me sit up and take notice of this most excellent band back in '93 before their US album release, god bless detroit and windsor ontario for playing this on radio for both countries to enjoy together! I eagerly awaited every album release these guys had, and was not happy when they did break up.
@andyabomb Jim Morrison was a famous poet and singer in a famous band called The Doors which was named after The Doors of Perception. The band was formed in 1965 and continued until the singer's mysterious death in 1971.
yah the Jim Morrison shit is lame- give the guy a break!...I just saw him play with his new band tonight at a small club and it was fuckin awesome! nobody can be Morrison....but he was great an awesome live singer and his musicianship playing like 10 different guitars - using the viola like jimmy page ..it was a great show!
@IcyOne4884 check out the tunes in the suggestions box, "fire in the head" is a heavier song that was commercially successful, not sure if it's what you have in mind though :)
Ya, some of their songs, most notably Innana, are based around old sumerian myths. The goddess Innana decended into the underworld. This was the founding myth for the green god Persephone, I believe.
I seen these guys awile back, in Seattle, Wa..was a wonderful show. And this gal, I cant remember her name, but she came out with a violin..her and Tea Party, were friggin awsome.
Saw these guys in Burlington, VT late '90's and some asshole cracked a beer bottle over my melon. So, I turned around, punched him, knocked him down, kicked him in the face, cleaned up my laceration, and went back to finish enjoying the show. That show was off the hook. Someone passed Jeff a joint, he lit it up, took a couple tokes and I got 2nd crowd toke. Miss these guys!
@vtfm you couldnt forget that day if you tried, thats what makes bands that much better, when u have an epic expierence that is almost shared with them in some way, ive seen em live at london fair, i wont forget that night
@Teeebs No, because 90% of people are morons and love pointing out the obvious, thinking they are funny and original and the first ones to do it. Kinda like how almost every video has either a comment about Justin Beiber or the amount of dislikes a video has. Then you get that real winner that makes that "Justin Bieber disliked this video 4 times" comment.
@ChillingInAFire.....nope, was just commenting on a few people who were near the top of the comment section, when I made this post like 5 MONTHS ago....lol
@Teeebs What's so bad about being compared to Mr. Mojorisin? The Tea Party were incredible in their own unique way, any true fan would know this...Being put up there with The Doors is just a bonus.
@Teeebs Probably not, since everyone wants the public to believe that Jeff Martin is either one of Jim Morrison's bastard child's or he is a reincarnation of JIm Morrison.
@Teeebs First of all, Jim Morrison and stupid are mutually exclusive words. Second of all, the lead singer does really look like Jim Morrison. Hell, this song even sounds like the Doors...

@thenovascotia20 My god... do you actually look at the places you post messages or are you simply a raving lunatic? This is a MUSIC BAND. THEY PLAY MUSIC. THEY ARE NOT IN POLITICS. THEY HAVE AS MUCH TO DO WITH POLITICS AS YOU HAVE TO DO WITH REASONED THOUGHT. DO YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT MUSIC IS? DO YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING?????? AND FOR GODS SAKE, STOP TYPING EVERYTHING YOU SAY IN capitols.....
I'm sure all of you have though this but I want to say it anyway, I really like this song so I think I will click "like" because I went out of my way to watch/listen to it. If the "thumbs up or thumbs down" portion of youtube really was a systems of quality only based on what the viewer likes, why would anyone go out of their way to willingly view something they know they wouldn't like? Also, who would look up a vid they wanted to see and then "click" thumbs down? Sorry if I waisted your time..
I don't know if I'd call it stealing. Songs have been remixed and redone for ages. After all they say that imitation is the best form of flattery, and why not keep the old classics and styles alive. Personally I usually like the originals, but hey whatever works. People obviously like them. To each his own. This is a great song.
Never noticed how absolutely rocksteady that drummer is, especially in that moment there when he's doin' triplets on the snare. Skin sounds a bit 'poppy', but whew, is this guy cookin' the whole time. Stellar musicianship!
omg i had the idea of using a violin bow on my guitar in music one time , now that i've seen it , i think next music lesson i'm gonna experiment a bit =P
@jojow1000 First, I am not knocking Tea Part for stealing. Great artists steal, good artists borrow. However, Jeff Martin's whole guitar style with the bow and open tunings is heavily stolen from people like Jimmy Page and Joni Mitchell. Also, his vocal style in terms of phrasing, tone, diction is totally Jim Morrison. Listen to the live Doors album 'absolutely live.'
saw these guys in Kelowna small venue - think it was either their last show or one of their last, and this song is by far their most profound. Miss 'em
Saw Jeff Martin live about 5 hours ago, was a incredible show, the way he plays the 12 string is bloody ridiculous! He also said he's going on Hiatus for a small while to work on a new album, so keep an eye out for it ;)
Saw him at the Hi-Fi in Brisbane, played a song in commemoration of ANZAC day for Australia. Was also kind of funny cause' we were standing at the door to get in and he comes and stands next to us and we're like "Hey Jeff!" - lost for words after that :(
Allways good to find musicians taking rock in new directions. I saw Martin's new band the Armada at Womadelaide in March. They played at least 3 Tea Party songs including "the Grand Bazaar", "Sister Awake" and "Save Me' with the Beatles TNK (tomorrow never knows) in the middle. Martin played a selection of acoustic guitars. Drummer Wayne Sheehy stands before an array of congas, doumbek, bongos, djembes, snare, bohran, bass drum; and an array of cymbals.
Owls appear many times in this. The sighting of an Owl is an omen.

Also, his vocal style in terms of phrasing, tone, diction is totally Jim Morrison. Listen to the live Doors album 'absolutely live.'

This guy could have played the Jim Morrison role in the Doors movie...

saw these guys in Kelowna small venue - think it was either their last show or one of their last, and this song is by far their most profound. Miss 'em

Saw Jeff Martin live about 5 hours ago, was a incredible show, the way he plays the 12 string is bloody ridiculous! He also said he's going on Hiatus for a small while to work on a new album, so keep an eye out for it ;)
Saw him at the Hi-Fi in Brisbane, played a song in commemoration of ANZAC day for Australia. Was also kind of funny cause' we were standing at the door to get in and he comes and stands next to us and we're like "Hey Jeff!" - lost for words after that :(

Allways good to find musicians taking rock in new directions. I saw Martin's new band the Armada at Womadelaide in March. They played at least 3 Tea Party songs including "the Grand Bazaar", "Sister Awake" and "Save Me' with the Beatles TNK (tomorrow never knows) in the middle. Martin played a selection of acoustic guitars. Drummer Wayne Sheehy stands before an array of congas, doumbek, bongos, djembes, snare, bohran, bass drum; and an array of cymbals.
Great stuff.......

Jeff Martin, the lead singer, still does lots of solo shows and he also has a new band called the Armada.
