Artist History In 1996, Steve and Tamara began collaborating on songs that are melodic, catchy, and at times dissonent. Orange Bag instantly sparks interest in the newly formed band with drummer Jim. They record the song and several tunes that defy pop logic. Yet, the music satisfies. In 1998, Andrea Reimann takes over the drums and adds her voice and enthusiasm to the mix.

Group Members Steve Delisi, guitars and vocals; Tamara Wasserman, Farfisa and Vocals; Andrea Reimann, Drums and Vocals.

Instruments Farfisa electric organ, Fender Stratocaster, Rogers drums

Albums Self-titled full length CD, and a forth coming EP this October.

Press Reviews Tamara's Russian/Israeli accent & 'unconventional' vocal technique invite (positive) comparisons to Yoko Ono; buzzing Fafisa, strat strum & surreal song structures collide and become inexplicably catchy songs, such as "Orange Bag": one of my favorites of the past year~ 9/98 J. Niimi
