Tea Eater is a Brooklyn-based weirdo art punk band fronted by Tarra Thiessen. They create campy, cunty, wall-of-fuzz songs that double as spells to inspire new potential realities. Tea Eater features members of Gustaf and Sharkmuffin, and has been support for Thee Oh Sees, Death Valley Girls and Sloppy Jane. They have completed East Coast and Midwest tours, 2 LA residencies, a set at Distorsion Psych Fest in Montreal, and two UK/EU headline tours in 2023 and 2024.
Tea Eater made significant waves with their first record Obsession, produced and mixed by Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster/Of Montreal/Bambara), released in 2023 via A Diamond Heart Productions. Their sophomore LP I Don’t Believe in Bad Luck is the story of a hotline psychic who is sick of everything (especially herself) was be released March 28, 2025 on a limited edition blue vinyl with a custom tarot deck. They are currently finishing up mixing their third LP Cake Stealer.
Bio
“Mastermind Tarra Thiessen does not fail to expose her vocal timbre and her DIY will"- Rolling Stone France
"The Brooklyn based solo effort of Tarra Thiessen creates without restraint, her songs feel primal and swaggering." - Post-Trash
“…all the projects Tarra’s been part of…are across-the-board F-U-N where said fun is far from being absent-minded but instead just the opposite cuz being seriously fun or even more so funny is a special talent indeed for a musician seeing as there’s real multi-tasking involved in being skilled and engaging musically." - The Deli Magazine
