History[edit]
Forming in 1998 and straddling both Glasgow and Edinburgh, Tacoma Radar were a slowcore, indie band formed around the nucleus of Kenny Anderson, Richie Ferguson and Anne Langridge. After playing several shows in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee, the band were signed to Glasgow label Andmoresound for whom they released the EPs Tuckahoe (1999) and Pilot House (2001). Bassist Gavin Dunbar moved to label-mates Camera Obscura and was replaced by Andy Hazel of Edinburgh band Arctic Circle, and Langridge was succeeded by singer, guitarist and violinist Jennifer Cosgrove. The band toured with bands such as American Analog Set, Bright Eyes and Her Space Holiday.[1]
Their sole album No One Waved Goodbye was produced by Andy Miller at Chem 19 Studios and mastered by Nick Webb at Abbey Road Studios.[2]
Despite attracting positive reviews, and airplay from John Peel, the lineup had dissolved by the time the album was released, in early 2004.[3][4][5]
