Tami Hart aka Making Friendz (and current bass player for MEN) has been turning heads left & right with the upcoming release of her new full length Social Life, hitting June 21st, 2011 on Brooklyn record label Last Bummer Records. With praise coming from the likes of the Village Voice, Brooklyn Vegan, New York Times, YouTube, Bust Magazine, and more, Hart's mixture of sweet, sweaty lo-fi punk and glossy pop & R&B has become the perfect summer time party soundtrack. RCRD LBL recently premiered the new single "Reject Me," a dancefloor jam and nice counterpoint to the raucous first single "Situation." The record release show will take place July 9th at Cake Shop, and Hart has also put together a handful of other New York area shows, as well as an upcoming date in Montreal as well (full list below). And of course... if you missed the YouTube premiere of the fetish-freak out video for "Situation," do yourself a favor and check it out here.
More Making Friendz info:
By 22, Hart consciously moved away from the “folkie” image her critics had constructed and began her foray into noisepunk. She played guitar and sang in Gangway (bandmates included members who would ultimately become No Age) and played with Coachwhips, Abe Vigoda, K.I.T., eventually touring with Mika Miko. In 2005, Hart moved to New York City and started a two-piece garage band, Winning Looks, for which Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill) recorded and pressed a limited 7”. Ultimately, Hart had already begun writing songs and finding collaborators to work with on Making Friendz. Inspired by listening to tracks by the likes of Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Missy Elliott, Hart began experimenting with dance music, while still keeping her innate punk point of view. The end result became what will be on the forthcoming Social Life.
