After the demise of 16 Tambourines, dropped by Arista
despite the cult following they had developed over the years, Steve Roberts
(vocals) and Tony Elliott (bass) continue writing songs together as The
Tambourines. The line up included also Alan Gillibrand (guitars) and Mark Roberts (ex Some Party, drums) and
the music style shifted from acoustic to psychedelic rock.
The band released two EPs, She Blows My Mind in 1991
(including also In Your Hands, With You In Mind (Demo Version), Taxman (Live))
and You’re So Beautiful in 1992 (which included also Getting Younger, Jumping
In The Fire (Live), I Really Don't Want
You). The Tambourines recorded also an album which never saw the light of day. One song
taken from it resurfaced on the Liverpool Unearthed Compilation: Five Miles
Wide. The band toured extensively, either supporting groups like The Bunneymen,
The River City People, The Real People, etc., or headlining, both in Britain
and Europe but in late 1993, due to lack of management, The Tambourines folded.
