Founded in 2002 by Kristel Blackman, Tantalum is a group of five dedicated women musicians from Melbourne, Australia, who share a passion for original rock music. Easy to watch, and very satisfying to listen to, their compositions have a very hard edge that belies their female authors; their lyrics ring true with stories of life and love, powered along by deep, gutsy, solid rhythms. Tantalum is sisters Kristel and Melissa Blackman (guitars), Cassie McCawley (bass), Elysia Agius on lead vocals, with Cassie McCawley on backing vocals and melodic harmonies, and finally we would like to welcome new inquisition Renee Morgan (drums).
Tantalum have just finished recording their album, to be released in late 2009! To check out new songs, please visit the myspace, or right here! New song "Runaway" is up now!
Check out their music on www.myspace.com/tantalum where you will find their latest gig guide.
