Biography
There are at least five artists called Tsunami:
1. An American indie rock band
2. An American hard rock band
3. An Aruban soca group
4. A Belarusian funk-rock band
5. A New Zealand post rock band from Dunedin.
1. Tsunami was an American indie rock band from Arlington, Virginia, formed by housemates Jenny Toomey and Kristin Thomson in late 1990 to play at New Year’s party. They enlisted former housemate John Pamer to play drums and Andrew Webster from Jenny’s previous band GEEK to complete the line up.
Following their inception, Tsunami split their time between touring, recording various 7” singles and devoting time to Toomey & Thomson’s Simple Machines record label- from which Tsunami would release the majority of their own music. The band recorded their debut album, “Deep End” during the summer of 1992. However, due to manufacturing and mixing problems this was not released until early 1993. It was then that the band were invited to play the side stage at Lollapalooza, going on to play six shows with Sebadoh, Free Kitten and Thurston Moore. After the release of the band’s second album The Heart’s Tremolo, Tsunami completed two tours of the US, a tour of England, and an appearance at the Phoenix Festival on the Melody Maker Stage.
In 1995, Tsunami continued to tour the States and also managed to release their 22-song compilation of their hard-to-find singles, b-sides and compilation tracks “World Tour and Other Destinations”. The band subsequently had an official one year hiatus whilst John attended UMASS Amherst to complete his undergraduate degree.
