Tattle Tale was a Seattle-based American band active between 1992 and 1995, featuring members Jen Wood and Madigan Shive. They played a significant role in the grrrl pop movement, pioneering a sound that would later be classified as folk punk.
Their track "Glass Vase Cello Case" reached wider audiences after being featured in the 1999 film But I'm A Cheerleader, directed by Jamie Babbit.
Overview
The group formed in 1992 when Wood was 15 and Shive was 17 years old. During their time together, they released singles including "Early Daze" and "Alderwood Mall." Their initial release was a self-titled demo cassette issued by Kill Rock Stars in 1993, followed by the album Sew True in 1995 through St. Francis Records, which is currently out of print.
Tattle Tale disbanded in 1995; Wood subsequently embarked on a solo path and contributed vocals to The Postal Service's projects in 2005, while Shive became the frontwoman of the chamber-punk ensemble Bonfire Madigan.
