Acoustic grrrl-pop duo
Tattle Tale was formed in Seattle, WA in 1992 by singers/guitarists
Madigan Shive and
Jen Wood, schoolmates who formed the group at the respective ages of 17 and 15. A series of compilation appearances preceded the release of
Tattle Tale's debut single "Early Daze," soon followed by "Alder Wood Mall"; in 1994, the duo also issued a self-titled demo cassette on Kill Rock Stars. After completing the full-length
Sew True Tattle Tale disbanded, with
Wood later mounting a solo career and Shive spearheading the chamber-punk ensemble
Bonfire Madigan. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
