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
Things got me thinking maybe
Might be going crazy
Cuz a leprechaun tells me
That I gotta go burn things
I can spell C A T
And I think of mine on the daily
Don't know the answer to your question, but
I’ll tell you 'bout my cat
Know everything there is to know about that
Wanted to be with Lisa
Told her i choo-choo choose ya
Walked her home in the summer
Couldn't get her number
Would she be my valentine
If I didn't have a simple mind
Daddy tells me that I’m special so
Bet you that I’m fine
Why do they run from me all the time
My cat cat cat cat breath smells like cat food
It tastes like burning
Might be going crazy
Cuz a leprechaun tells me
That I gotta go burn things
I can spell C A T
And I think of mine on the daily
Don't know the answer to your question, but
I’ll tell you 'bout my cat
Know everything there is to know about that
Told her i choo-choo choose ya
Walked her home in the summer
Couldn't get her number
Would she be my valentine
If I didn't have a simple mind
Daddy tells me that I’m special so
Bet you that I’m fine
Why do they run from me all the time
My cat cat cat cat breath smells like cat food
It tastes like burning
