“The Tambourine Machine, has officially released their second full length album, featuring newly penned songs by the band and recordings never before heard. The Tambourine Machine’s second album is self titled. Click on the album’s artwork above to listen to their music. (Artwork by Beatrice Ardilia) In a special show, with limited seating and most of the tickets sold out, The Tambourine Machine, with special guests and ‘brother band’, The Draggin’ Man Band, presented an array of unique original songs and obscure cover songs. The Tambourine Machine playing in support of their classy new, self-titled record, and The Draggin’ Man Band offered opening support with a hard hitting set for the intimate crowd. LMAO Comedy is located at 12 NE 1st Street, Paris, Texas. It is the premier venue in Northeast Texas for stand up comedy, and honestly, a great place for a very intimate jam session in support of The Tambourine Machine’s new album; that’s now proven. Chad Lindsay of MyRo”

“The Depot in Paris, Texas has been bringing back the rock! On Saturday August 18th, the stage was set up for a rockin’ reggae explosion! Local favorites Alex Addy & the Tambourine Machine along with Max Jones introduced Shreveport’s very own Stiff Necked Fools. Next to be introduced by Chad Lindsey of My Rock 96.5, were 3 of the most talented musicians around. Clint Lumpkin, Kenneth Thornhill, and Alex Addy of the Tambourine Machine will throw you into a world of percussive bass-driven distortion. When these guys are under the lights, they transform into an electrified engine! Their sound is derived from many Rock & Reggae influences. Alex Addy & company assembled the perfect blend of twisted Texas treats. New original songs like “Feeling in the Air” and “Funky Town Explosion” provoked the party animal in everyone. Check out the video below to catch a sneak peek of what is to come from The Tambourine Machine this winter. ”

“Alex Addy & the Tambourine Machine blew the roof off the place when they began the show with their energy and presence. The crowd was enthralled as they surrounded the band in the corner that was this night a stage. The Tambourine Machine did an array of obscure covers and new originals, as well as tunes from their latest release, Talking About Love.

“Alex Addy & The Tambourine Machine- Aggressive mixture of sweet island sounds and shear rock n' roll overtones. A band that works hard to spread the message that if you aren't loud then you won't get heard. No one really ignores Alex Addy and when you put a band of maniacs behind him you have a long awaited sound that this music world needs to hear. The songwriting is very unique and the live show of the Tambourine Machine is something that should not be missed. A very explosive, demanding frontman in front of a dynamic, yet sporadic rhythm section makes for a band that has a future of brightness and rock n' roll.”

“Alex Addy & The Tambourine Machine had fans clustered directly in front of the stage area as they peaked out the sound system with their unique sound involving an aggressive mixture of sweet island sounds and sheer rock n’ roll overtones. This seasoned band of musicians performed magically while keeping the party going, rocking out songs including “For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield, “The Distance” by Cake, and an awesome rendition of “Rocket Man” by Elton John just to name a few. As the drinks were poured and good times were rolling, The Tambourine Machine gave us all a sneak peak of a couple of songs off of their new project. Look for “Better Man”, and “Clementine” to be added to the collection of Tambourine Machine madness on the next record.”

— Robbie Gunn, http://inparistexas.com

“ Alex Addy & The Tambourine Machine started the most amazing show I have seen in Paris Texas since Toadies came to Crosswire. They opened with The Bloodhound Gang’s “The Roof Is On Fire”, and played original songs like “Funny How Life Goes”. I was totally blown away with this band’s completely energetic sound! ”

— Robbie Gunn, In Paris Texas

“Alex Addy & The Tambourine Machine will not be ignored. Addy, 23, works hard to spread the message that if you aren't loud, then you won't get heard. He and the rest of the band bring their driving, demanding rhythms and unique song writing to the Cloud Nine Hookah Lounge Friday when they celebrate the release of their first CD, "Talkin' About Love."”
