"A curious but crammed shoebox full of instant delights. A punky violette noir, where the Cocteaus came and met Kate Bush head on" Melody Maker 1986

Histoire
Objayda's secret lies in the unlikely songwriting partnership between Tarn Ockenden & Tim Howe following their chance encounter in a recording session back in 1982.
Since then the band have toured continuously through out the UK, Europe & beyond with over 3000 live performances to some half million music lovers along the way - either headlining or supporting various names - especially & unsurprisingly those from the 1980s. They have also written, recorded and released twelve studio albums selling several thousand physical copies and attracting media coverage from the likes of BBC Radio One and Two, BBC Introducing, Radio Six International, Absolute Radio, French & Canadian radio stations and BBC and independent television. Their single Skeleton Bob was recently championed by UK comedian and showbiz celebrity Frank Skinner on his national radio breakfast show and who is reputed to be a fan!
The band is completed by drummer John Coombes and most recently - honorary youngest member Amélie Howe ( Tim's daughter ) on some of their studio projects.
