The Tea Party Edit Meaning

1.

Canadian-based power trio, often compared to Led Zeppelin and The Doors, which are both arguable comparisons. They have produced, for EMI Canada, 7 albums, and contradict their anti-music-industry stance with a few #1 hits. They have performed with the Rolling Stones at Toronto's SARStock, and have toured the country with an orchestra tour.

I went to a Tea Party show the other day.

2.

1. The now-defunct rock band. The ultra-pretentious douchebagJeff Martin announced the end of The Tea Party at a press conference in 2005, allowing his two band-mates of 30 years (Stuart Chatwood, Jeff Burrows) to find out that their careers had been terminated by getting phone calls from journalists.

Once mighty, The Tea Party have fallen off the ends of the Earth, with their songs now only occasionally played on Canadian rock stations to help fulfill the CRTC's Canadian-content regulations. Already, most college and university students have no clue that this band ever existed.

2. To be a Canadian rock band that is hugely successful in Canada and overseas, but compromises their integrity with vain attempts to penetrate the U.S. market.

1. The Tea Party's only #1 hit was Heaven Coming Down.

2. I hope Billy Talent stick to their guns instead of being a Tea Party.
