Soulful vocals, hard grooving beats a la Dilla and lyrics with a sense of humour are a few ways to describe their style and sound.
Their self titled debut is Led by first single “Ralph Wiggum”, which Atwood Magazine called "a song that exists on a plane of involuntary stank face”. The album weaves through a mixture of genres - from groove//jazz (“Ralph Wiggum”, “Fullness”) to a smoother RnB/neo-soul sound (“Maybe it’s you not me”, “No Way No How”) and then funk (“Bubble Monkey”, “Adam Driver”).
The central creative force behind the group is singer//keyboardist Kate Melvina, who writes and produces all the music herself. She then brings the songs to her bandmates whom include Barry Mason (guitar), Carson Gant (drums) and Luis El Pana Tovar (percussion) who help bring her vision to life. Kate’s jazz influence can be heard in many of her compositions, and her lyrics can range from personal and introspective to humorous and zany. She draws much of her inspiration from everyday things such as video games and TV (Earthbound, The Simpsons) and even includes an ode to her favourite actor, Adam Driver.
Many of the group’s influences can be heard throughout, including acts like Stevie Wonder (Kate's hero since she was 15), Prince, D’Angelo and newer artists like Mononeon and Moonchild.
Tendavillage's debut EP is available now on all streaming platforms.

Tendavillage Lyrics
Adam Driver Adam driver, you so fine Something bout cha, I wanna make…
Bubble Monkey I was just a normal guy with a regular monkey life hanging…
Escargot and Risotto I can remember getting to know you It was the best…
Fullness I've been tryna find my groove Do some reconditioning Now …
Maybe It's You Not Me You said that you're too far away Getting your life together…
No Way No How No way, no how No way, no how You made me feel…
Ralph Wiggum Things got me thinking maybe Might be going crazy Cuz a lepr…
Sprung She’s always kept close enough to you and ever out…
