Tiny Monroe were an English indie britpop band of the 1990s. The band was formed in London in 1993 by founder members NJ Wilow (vocals), Richard Davies (guitar), Steven Walker (guitar), Garry Becker (bass guitar), and Dan Neumann (drums, formerly of Brigandage). The band quickly attracted press attention from the NME and Melody Maker. The band emerged as part of a perceived wave of female fronted bands influenced by the new wave sounds of the late 70s and early 80s. Other bands to emerge at the same time included Elastica, Sleeper, Echobelly and Salad. The band released their debut single "VHF855V" (the tile coming from the number plate of NJ's Ford Escort) on their manager Howard Gough's Laurel record label in March 1994, and released their first album Volcanoes in July 1996. Their most successful release, the Cream EP reached number 7 in the national indie chart in April 1994. Early support tours with Cranes and Curve were followed by festival appearances at Glastonbury, Reading and T In The Park in 1994. Other festival appearances included Sweden's Hultsfred Festival and France's RouteRock festival in St. Malo. The band undertook several headline tours and supported the Pretenders, Suede and Radiohead at the invitation of all three groups. The band underwent a line-up change after the release of their album, with Alex Culpin (bass guitar), and Jon Solomon (drums) joining the group, but there were no further releases before the band split up. While in the band, NJ played the role of a alien in the BBC television film The Traveller. Read more on Last.fm.
