Biography
“Between the iron gates of fate, The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those, Who know and who are known; Knowledge is a deadly friend, When no one sets the rules. The fate of all mankind I see, Is in the hands of fools”.

(Fripp-McDonald-Lake-Giles-Sinfield)


Conceived in Deptford, New Jersey, in the fall of 2003, progressive rock band “The Tea Club” was the masterful toil of teenage brothers Patrick and Daniel McGowan.

After years of teaching themselves to write and play listening to mum and dad’s record collection, which included such monsters as YES, King Crimson, and The Beatles, Pat and Dan decided they wanted to form a band.

Long time friend and drummer, Kyle Minnick was a natural choice since they shared similar musical influences and Bassist, James Berger rounded out the quartet.

The band’s first show was to a small crowd in an abandoned peach factory. Word spread fast about the bands talent and this earned them rave reviews. Since then the band have been playing regular shows at Venue’s throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania and have developed a loyal following.

After two years with the band Bassist Jim Berger decided that this was the right time to pursue other interests. The band, rather than trying to replace him, decided they would try life as a trio and did so for a little over a year.

Between the inception and Fall 2006, the band independently recorded four EP’s, one of which attracted the attention of Producer/ Engineer Tim Gilles (Thursday and Taking Back Sunday). So inspired by the bands obvious talent, Tim Produced, Recorded and Mixed their first full length album entitled “General Winter’s Secret Museum” which is due for release on July 1st 2008, kicking off an east coast tour which also includes New York, Baltimore, Cleveland, and Chicago. The first single off the album is entitled “Werewolves”.

With the tracking of the record behind them, The Tea Club once again went in search of a bass player, and another long time friend Jason Barsotti fitted the bill.

This debut offering is superb. It truly showcases the bands natural song writing abilities, amazing talent and is a valiant salute to the band’s influences, whilst retaining their vision and identity.
