The Tea Party - Sister Awake

[@LilahWoods]

I saw them a couple months ago, they were BETTER than on the albums. Mind blowing.

[@monicamason3414]

Good to know. I see them in June next door to me.

[@TheKewzoo]

I remember how much I love this band and they were even better live.

[@aryathorn]

Most underrated band I ever knew, I've been listening to them since 95 still totally unknown in Europe

[@Trubaster]

I never understood why the record company never push them to Europe...I was visiting my brother in Canada in 1999 and was hooked right away forever and took it back home and hooked everybody I knew as well...Such a shame we can never see them live here...

[@valentin80]

One of the best songs that were written... I can't find a song just as beautiful at Led.

[@Jadyn60133]

i saw the Tea Party when i was in Sydney ... amazing show. amazing voice. and all 3 of the guys are so darn talented.

[@mchechio]

Ironically enough, Canadian bands do very well in Australia. I think now, as a Canadian lad, born and raised, that we are no longer taking advantage of our own sound, and music scene. The Tea party was the edge for me, to reflect on what I have here. I love a lot of bands throughout the world, but it made me look into my own backyard...thanks!

[@OutofTune7]

One of the best songs ever, that´s for sure. What I think was unique with this band is the sound they had. Not only the style, but the actual sound engineering. A perfect sound, without being "stiff". There are many bands out there with a perfect sound, perfect pitch and all, but they can´t touch the mighty Tea Party, artists of sound landscapes. A pity that they didn´t played in Sweden.

[@Stars_in_my_coffee]

It's their signature sound.... loved it the first time i ever heard them, which was when i was 8... amazing band!!! Miss them very much...

[@pictureheather]

I have been lucky to have seen them live 5 times... I also got to meet them some 6 years ago... Stuart is the NICEST person!!! I so miss seeing them live its the most amazing show for sure. Their music and vibe in a concert atmosphere is phenomenal!

[@mchechio]

Being a Canuck fellow myself, I truly miss The Tea Party. What a cool song. Thank you for posting this video.

[@williamhaneke6559]

by far the best Tea Party song -- ever

[@kevinkirk4285]

I saw them in Sydney Australia in Oct 2014. Great show and great music! The other Canadian trio you never heard before!

[@angron666]

Great band.. awesome music. I use to listen to The Tea Party back in the mid to late 90's ( aprrox 17-19 years of age then ) with a good group of friends and drop an acid tab or mushrooms and we tripped out hard, wass soooo fun cos of the shit we use to get up to and just being free of stress and worries of life. Anyway, great music like this will always be remembered just like the younger years.

[@SmackQAF]

AMAZING LIVE. so freaking talented. Love this group. Jeff's voice gives me goosebumps. Just saw them a couple weeks ago. SO AWESOME!

[@chamath1985]

I might define myself as a hardcore/metal fan but I've gotta admit this IS Music.

[@shayneoneill1506]

The tea party transcend Genre. I mean technically they'd probably qualify as a prog band (themed albums, 8+ minute songs, unusual musical devices) but they really are their own genre of 1

[@DR2626]

Toronto misses you live! Perfect pitch and rock. Come and rock the Rivoli!!!

[@haroldhedd420]

awesome band and song...I saw them on the recent edge of twilight tour and was expecting a nice sit down and chill to the tunes show...wasn't I surprised by the full on assault of the tea party live...I strongly recommend them live but if you want to sit down and chill get balcony seats cause there is nothing sedate about the tea party live

[@haroldhedd420]

+Lunaria I def suggest checking out some other tunes if you haven't yet...my all time fave of thiers being heaven coming down

[@kimberly5946]

@@haroldhedd420 mine too❤

[@AcerSiXX]

I love their whole work. The earlier albums, edges of twilight, transmission and splendor solis being right there on top of everything else I listen to. Interzone Mantras, seven circles and triptych were all right but I was expecting more originality after their earlier work. I already miss em.

[@ghost179-f2v]

Random tea party listen tonight..remember his voice is amazing and one of a kind

[@M0NSTERTW]

I want to comment on all Canadian rock videos but I don't have the time. Canadian bands truly out do anything out there. The bands from the States can't hold a candle to this era of Canadian rock/grunge music. Amazing.

[@monkeykilling13]

Saw this song as an encore in toronto... a unique rendition too! Great show it was!

[@adamlyler]

This is still the best band I've ever seen live. They had an amazing knack to electrify a crowd. Have seen them 7 times! First time at "Alternative Nation", a one-off two-day rock festival in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The two days also included Tool, Powderfinger, Lou Reed, Nine Inch Nails, L7, Faith No More, Pennywise, Andy Prieboy, and shiteloads more. And Tea Party rocked over all of them, believe it or not! Their 2nd album had just come out.

[@steppinrazor8]

pure beauty ...this song is printed so deep in my memories as a magical time in my life

[@robsgirlforever1]

the tea party is awesome...and i love their music because the talk about truth...if you even listen...love it...

[@JamesBrowningII]

I only know them because we got a radio station 106.9 FM THE BEAR out of Canada when I lived in NY. I've introduced all my friends to great Canadian music since moving back to MI.

[@wesleync]

I read in an interview a while back that Sister Awake is Jeff Martins fav song to play live. Funny how it is my Fav song to hear them play live.

[@hardcharger]

I was there, still have the Mardi gras shirt from Mad Hat Brewery even... I was right in the front...saw them later on in Ottawa...both AWESOME shows, as I sure ANY Tea Party show was.

[@mchechio]

I reside in eastern Ontario Canada, and we got hit hard this year with snow. Our dear neighbors to the south got the Ice storm this year. I remember when we had the ice storm..not cool, and I feel for those folks.

[@cjaap]

Soy de Venezuela y realmente me encanta este grupo, son grandiosos. I´m a Venezuelan guy, and I really love this band there are great.

[@soulsong4ever]

I love them and see Jeff often. the TEAPARTY tour of canada this month and next year In Australia.

[@Jizyon]

Awesome !!! The tea party = Perfection in my ears ...and soul !

[@wilsonmcphert]

This wonderful clip complements beautifully this song, one of their best.

[@raindancemaggie904]

Just saw them in Peterborough last month - amazing. Can't wait to see them again - hopefully at the Venue in Peterborough again or outside under the stars in Bobcaygeon.

[@mysterywoman9]

I miss them too...sooo beautiful..

[@bigballlllsofun]

totally under rated band they desserved alot more I love their use of different musical instruments truely original and a awsome sound and his voice a jim morris reincarnation simply the best

[@shigei]

Until very recently (Leonard Cohen's new tour) these guys had the Best Concert Ever Seen title in my head. They were tight, they were engaged, they were.. man. Phenomenal.

[@xynalitis]

Brilliant saw them play at Mac uni Bar in the 90's and I do believe they shared everything they smoked with their audience

[@savoy6JTV]

I first heard of the Tea Party, when I was in Basic Training. There first album was playing over the speakers of the music store, and loved there Doors/ Led Zeppelin sound ever since. ( Not any more.) Either way they put out some amazing music. There music grabbed me the moment they made there first album, and loved them ever since.

[@MarkBoyd]

Great song from one of the greatest albums ever recorded

[@hounderdawg]

Canadian artists do bring out some of the most original music.

[@Gadzooxtian]

wow. goosebumps. never gonna get over the fact this band is no more.

[@orderinchaos]

Indeed. At least we have Jeff Martin's solo work to look forward to, though... This video is excellent - thanks for uploading

[@Happygolucky1313]

This is one of my favorite songs! Thank you!

[@lucifang]

Tea Party are back! I saw them play in Brisbane the other day xxoo

[@psychopomp31]

It was directed by Curtis Wehrfritz and shot in Toronto in 1996. Floria Sigismondi directed the three clips from the previous album Splendor Solis

[@PYSCOPOMP]

These guys are like Pink Floyd. Timeless. Only two bands that can do it.

[@Tone6372]

The Entire Edges of Twilight Album is amazing, the way they blend ethnic instrumentation with rock. Very underrated album. Saw them Live multiple times in Oz in the 90s.

[@anglfrmhvn04]

CANT WAIT TILL JULY 15TH. THEY PUT ON AN AWESOME CONCERT!!!!!!!!! AWESOME BAND!

[@coffeeinvasion]

I love this song!! this is my favorite video of theirs.

[@LillyLavine]

god this song brings back memories, and good ones, such a simple but great time in my life, i love this song

[@FeistyMcFeisty1]

Goin to see these guys in a few days in Toronto. nice :)

[@lespaul59burst]

I am really glad your safe and sound and your here to enjoy this song with us. I wish you all the best.

[@ripleyx3]

Just saw them in Barrie, amazing !!

[@Amalekites]

I started listen to them since I played Road Rash 3D on Playstation 1, back in '98. (louzy game by the way). ^^ "Temptation" was the first song I heard, and so I looked them up. Really great vocal and sound! Still one of my favourite bands.

[@calmlikeabomb123]

My guitar teacher played a gig with these guys back in the day :D

[@OIdiesCentral]

A song,SECOND TO NONE,indeed.

[@SalaGMR]

Esta canción y este vídeo son verdaderas obras de arte.

[@RODERICKMOLASAR]

What an amazing voice.

[@01vanir]

thanks for posting these videos, haven't heard them in a while and needed a quick fix from a good selection

[@evi90]

AWESOME BAND.....VERY TALENTED

[@doubleplay1919]

one of my favorite songs ever

[@jroblesart]

brillian video, one of the most truly unique artistic videos ever

[@MrBeansMommy]

This band makes my skin tingle! Lol

[@butcherboyproduction]

Great Canadian band, reminds me of seeing them in 1995

[@Mineav]

Pure magic, this song is. Indian/middle eastern style.

[@doubleplay1919]

still one of my favorite bands ever

[@mchechio]

No worries Adam. There are a lot of Canadian "Tea Party" fans looming. I miss the Arabic, Celtic, Canadiana rock they gave us. I will miss them dearly.

[@wesleync]

They just finished a tour of Canada and are back in Austrailia right now with new tour dates. Find them on Facebook, they are real good with updates and you can follow each one of them.

[@Bestonlinerpggames]

love this song, reminds me of me and my cousin Mira back in the 90's

[@digitalsignalx]

Beautiful tune!

[@AlbinoScout]

Not to mention that they had 6 releases during the 90's, all of which varied greatly in style. You can't say that about any of the other bands you mentioned. Plus they didn't break up in the 90's. They broke up in '05. They had three albums after the 90's. Two of which were really good. One of which, TRIPtych, had their most popular single on it. Their live shows wouldn't have been the same without Lullaby and Halcyon Days, especially with the Zahira/Rakim intro. And Mantra was a masterpiece.

[@riku122]

Simply entrancing.

[@Fyawnym]

...and they seem to have plans to come to Australia soon. The tour was initially scheduled for February, but their homepage is updated on 4th April and it still says that plans exist for Australia. That would actually be a dream come true...

[@obrike]

i was at the show too. Saw them in Austin the previous night I believe. Only 20-50 people at the Austin show. San Antonio definitely had a bigger TP fan base.

[@stockloc]

I love the overall middle eastern influence to this track. So good!

[@sameerchannar1261]

Think it's Indian actually. There's the sitar, and he actually talked about it being a mix of Indian and Celtic music. The scales are also Indian in origin, but they were also used in middle eastern music, you're right

[@Al-oo5cp]

pretty sure this sounds more middle eastern than indian...

[@killercour]

I'v always liked the tea party, i dunno what it is about them they just make me wanna chill out and relax they are pretty cool.

[@HansomeAssasin]

I believe that The tea party is truly one of the most under rated bands that has ever hit the music seen. I only wish they had pulled off a Nickel back & played the states to push there talent out there. If not the top Canadian band ever then a top 5 at least. truly a great band and missed talent...peace.

[@artysag73]

This is my favourite Tea party song God i miss em

[@salgis]

This track ia an amazing piece of art.

[@diangesh]

Beautiful

[@themixturemedia]

Hey there I guess these guys are doing 15 shows in Canada this summer 2011 :-) if they do this will be my 3rd time seeing The Tea Party 4th time seeing Jeff Martin. Man I miss there music and sorry but Jeff Martin was never the same with out The Tea Party.

[@Mineav]

Masterpiece

[@SalaGMR]

Obra teatral inspeccionando los rincones más confusos de la música;The Tea Party es sin duda alguna,más que música,es arte.

[@Iamnoone70]

Is this an awesome tune or what I love it!

[@rayzorsedge77]

Whadda ju mean? This is their best tune! EVER!

[@majewda]

SAw them do this one live. Awesome concert :)

[@edge102102]

The Tea Party is one of my favourite bands, 1 of the most underated Canadian rock bands ever. Along with Finger 11, Moist, I Mother Earth and Big Wreck, (Thornley is amazing solo too though)

[@homesicktree]

a few years ago australia was their biggest fan base outside of canada. nowadays... i am not sure! but oh... what memories...

[@Mineav]

Best Tea Party song, and that says a lot.

[@percyzeppelin]

I love this so much.

[@Greatgonzales222]

My friend, they have reunited, and are working on new material now! :D

[@TheArts8]

There are only 2 songs equaly awesome......luxuria and must must

[@eirekarmatech]

Thank you both guys, Pleurotus and Sether...

[@DuendecS]

I love this song

[@doubleplay1919]

Gregs place chilliwack 1987 me and my gf smuggled in a couple mickeys to watch them...good times still got the concert shirt

[@doubleplay1919]

in my opinion their best song

[@Smite061169]

@martbook They are performing in Ottawa on July 14th as well

[@lubetlubet]

bu nasıl bir eser? :) muhteşem.

[@markmerrin]

They are on tour right now.....

[@sweiland75]

While The Tea Party created great music, they also created great videos to compliment their music. I don't know who directed their videos, but they are impressive.
