Tuatara is matchless of the more than surprising and slimly idiotic supergroups in stone history. Comprised of Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Justin Harwood (Luna), Barrett Martin (Hilarious Trees), and Skerik (Critters Buggin'), the quartet formed in 1996 to pursue euphony that their guitar-based alternative stone groups could non do -- namely, worldbeat, lounge-pop, and unfreeze jazz. After performing several concerts on the West Coast of the U.S. in the devolve of 1996, Tuatara recorded their debut album, Break the Ethers, which was released in April 1997. Trading with the Enemy followed in 1998, and several songs from the record album plant their way into pic soundtracks. It would be tetrad years until more recorded output signal from the band saw the light of day, simply in fountain 2002 the Cinemathique album found tone ending on Fast Horse Records. More orientated toward succulent and gossamer tones, the record was followed by a little U.S. tour of duty. Two more than albums on Fast Horse were issued, 2003's Consignment Program and 2007's East of the Sun.
