Tsunami

Tsunami is an American indie rock band from Arlington, Virginia, formed by housemates Jenny Toomey and Kristin Thomson in late 1990 to play at New Year's party. They enlisted former housemate John Pamer to play drums and Andrew Webster from Bricks and Jenny's previous band Geek to complete the line up. Following their inception, Tsunami split their time between touring, recording various 7-inch singles and devoting time to Toomey and Thomson's Simple Machines record label- from which Tsunami would release the majority of their own music.

==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have discovered the band in 1992 and played tracks from their records. Further airplay from the group including a session recorded in 1993 was played on his programmes. Peel even mentioned speaking to members of the band and seeing them perform in Norwich on his Peel Out In The States (Program 11) show. However, by 1994, Peel seemed to have lost interest in the band and never played any of their records.
