Band Bio:



TameTame And Quiet formed over the summer of 2004 when Aaron, Boyd and Darren came together with the intention of creating music that was unique, both to their potential audience and to themselves, challenging them to expand past their previous bands' styles and limitations. In pursuit of this goal, however unintentional, they moved forward creating music that tackled a variety of moods sometimes within the same song. While labeled everything from "weird" to "angular" to "subversively melodic" to "indie jazz" they pursued their vision culminating in the release of their first full length album in 2007. Titled "Tin Can Communicate" the album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Matthew Barnhart at the Echo Lab in Argyle, Texas during 2006. In early 2008, TTXQ enlisted the bass mastery of Pat Ferguson (Deep Snapper, Raised By Tigers) to extend these initial ideas and push the sounds forward. Currently solidifying new material, TTXQ will be busy crafting a new album and dropping in on a venue near you.
