Biography
Greetings from the Star Chamber is the first solo project of Todd Parker, founding member/guitarist/vocalist of 1990's NYC/Hoboken neo-psych group, the Tadpoles.
Following the Tadpoles' last show in February, 2000, Parker announced the Tadpoles would be going on indefinite hiatus. In 2001, Parker released the Tadpoles compilation album "Use With Headphones Late at Night (Best of 1990-2000)" and went into a self-imposed retirement from the world of music.
For the rest of the decade, Parker oversaw the Tadpoles back catalog on Bakery Records, but produced no further releases while moving the base of operations from Hoboken, NJ to Sacramento, California.
Parker emerged early in 2010 and released a 20th anniversary digital download remix of Tadpoles' 1990 cassette-only album "William's Doll" through the Tadpoles' website and Myspace site.
Shortly thereafter, Parker began working on a solo album and renewed a collaborative relationship with Mike Audino, Tadpoles' original drummer through 1993. The album, Greetings From the Star Chamber, contains 12 new songs including a remake of Tadpoles' "Give It to the Elf" which appeared on the 1991 cassette-only release "Ride The Soul."
Reflecting "Williams' Doll", Greetings From the Star Chamber is a co-production of Parker and Audino and the first in 20 years.
