Raised in a looming "mansion full of sadness" on Pilfershire Lane built by her father in Hartford Connecticut, Tara was the youngest in a large family, surrounded with the music of Bowie, Zeppelin, ABBA and Janis Joplin. Discovering her musical talent at the tender age of 3, she went on to form bands throughout her teenage years, including Dahli Llama and Sheva. Many session gigs led her to Miami at the 2001 Winter Music Conference where she met her love and collaborator, Maf Lewis. The pair returned to Cardiff, UK where they formed the deeply revered "lounge-core" outfit, Dynamo Dresden on Plastic Raygun Records with producer, Rohan Tarry. As tides turned and Maf & Tara moved to North Carolina to be with her family, Tara exiled herself under lock & key for several months writing, producing and engineering what would become Pilfershire Lane. As Tara clamoured away in the studio on one end of the house, Maf set up shop in the dusty, sweltering attic above, creating beautiful, perfectly reflective videos such as "Motorcrash" and "Tag”. Enter the musical talents of Mike Walters, Nick Speaks & Alex Maiolo - from Minimoogs to Melloman; from Fender bass to whammy pedals & sleigh-bells, these gentlemen were Tara's faithful and adventurous sonic militia.... Finally, in summer 2006, Maf & Tara packed their life into a small U- Haul & traveled west to the glistening Pacific, landing beneath the swaying palm trees of Southern California. "The lights are on, maybe we're home".....
