Wow, at first glance that guy DOES look a little like Morrison. Weird.

Cool, thanks for that.

Anyone know what the year of that show from the handbill? I need to add Tea Party to the concert info in my tour archive.

he does look a lot like jim morrision....freaky is stapp obsessed? ;)

HaHa I Know It My Best Friend Got Me With These Guys And Thats What Got Her Hooked Was the Morrison Look A Like Thing, But Their Lyrics Rock, KILLER

Well, Jeff Martin - the singer of The Tea Party - wasoften compared to Jim Morrison, not only because of his look, but also because of his voice!

The Tea Party are pretty huge in Canada and Australia and have also many fans in Europe. They have opened for Ozzy Osbourne, Page/Plant and the Rolling Stones.

In 1997 they were on US tour with Creed. If I remember correctly, one night TTP was the headliner of the evening, the other night it was Creed (http://www.theteaparty.de/live/plakate/tx_venue_i1.jpg). At this time Creed was not very well-known....

In August the band will release their newest CD called "The Seven Circles". If you ever have the chance to see them live, check them out - it will blow you away!! ;)

"Well, Jeff Martin - the singer of The Tea Party - wasoften compared to Jim Morrison, not only because of his look, but also because of his voice!"

I had no idea, but glad to see I wasn't the only one who has thought so, thank you!

I find it strange, knowing that Morrison was Stapp's idol.

Hi! I'm a Teahead who just joined.

The Tea Party has been around for more than a decade now and, like psychopomp said, they are very popular in Canada and Australia as well as Holland and Germany. You can listen to some of their music at these links:

You can also find out more about the band in general at:

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. They are simply the best live band I've ever seen! :)

I listened to a few.......I like the singer's voice.....really deep. :D

It was actually the other way around... The Tea Party helped Creed! That's why that "bill" says: The Tea Party featuring Creed.
The Tea Party brought their first CD out in '91 already...


Hi Willabeast! At first I want to WELCOME you aboard!!!! :D

Second... I'm from Holland and I have to admit that they're not very known over here! I know that they've played here at Pinkpop in the year 2000... that's about it :o But I liked what I heard so far... like Jooji said, that deep voice! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the welcome WeatheredWoman!! :) I'm glad that you're enjoying The Tea Party so far! I love this band in a way that defies explanation! It was the voice that attracted me first, then the lyrics and then the rest. The singer, Jeff Martin, also writes all the lyrics and plays all the guitars, oud, sarod, sitar, saz and a bunch of other instruments. The rest of the band is Jeff Burrows on drums (I hope you get to see him live sometime, there's pure mania behind the kit) and Stuart Chatwood on bass and keys. It's amazing to me that with only 3 people on stage they manage to play their music live but they do and they are the best live act I've ever seen... although I'll have to admit I've never seen Creed. ;)

Yeah, some dj on our local rock station was upset because Stapp was working with them. He said he liked Creed, but just didn't like Stapp b/c of his big ego.

Aren't baritone voices sexy............. :D

Someone....I think it was handmedown asked a question about how involved Tea Party was in this project. I found this on a Candadian music news page

Creed Breaks Up, Scott Stapp Recruits The Tea Party

Creed

After nearly 10 years together, Creed is no more. But Scott Stapp has vowed to go on, with The Tea Party standing behind him.

Stapp has gone back into the studio and is currently working on a solo album with hip-hop producer 7 Aurelius and his new backing band, The Tea Party. Yes, our Tea Party — Stapp and Jeff Martin are at last working as one. Before we see that gem, Stapp will provide a track on an album filled with songs inspired by The Passion Of The Christ, due out August 31.

The rest of the crap was the same stuff from the interview.....so considering my distaste for that particular bit of journalism.....I edited it out. If you actually want to waste your time reading he rest.....http://www.chartattack.com/DAMN/2004/06/0406.cfm

Now, I don't trust most stuff I read on the internet....but this article does state that The Tea Party is Stapp's backing band. Take from it what you will......and we will see, I guess.

okay thanks jooji i didn't read that link (yet) but it seems that writer is fairly exicted by the project, he at least loves the tea party. seems they are his backing band which would mean that stapp would be writing all the music. time will tell though i guess.
