► Stepping from the sandy beaches of their native Sydney, Australia onto the hard but promising streets of New York City - under the very watchful eye of MTV - Universal Motown folk-rockers TAMARAMA are making a major multi-media entry into American consciousness as one of early 2009's unmistakable breakout discoveries.

The release of the first TAMARAMA EP, WONDERLAND CITY, comes as the duo (Jay Lyon, Nicolas "Pottsy" Potts) play prominent recurring roles as themselves in the new MTV series THE CITY. Jay is in particular focus as the new love interest of series co-star Whitney Port, but the band itself will be integrated into the plot arcs of the show, as will its music and live performances. Already, print and broadcast media have responded to the juicy celebrity aura of the new series and its cast members: three episodes in, the show's website has drawn an instant seven-figure hit total. Visit the group MySpace Page and check out Tamarama performing "Everything To Me" live!
