The band started in 2001 with Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey and a small 8
track machine. John Stanley (aka DJ Downfall) joined the band to help create
rhythm tracks and play the bass.
The first album (Film Molecules) came out in 2002, a new single (Language
Lessons EP) came out at the end of 2005, and a second album (6 Billion People) came out in May/June 2006, released on
Fortuna Pop!/Matinee Recordings. The latest recordings
feature Claudia Gonson (Magnetic Fields) on drums.
Before Tender Trap, Rob, Amelia and John all played in Marine Research,
alongside Peter Momtchiloff (now in the Would-be-goods, Speed of Sound and
Scarlet's Well) and Cathy Rogers. Before that, Rob and Amelia played in
Heavenly, alongside Peter, Cathy and Amelia's brother Mathew Fletcher. Meanwhile
John played in Dweeb.
And even before that, Amelia (and for a very short period also Rob) were in
Talulah Gosh, alongside Peter, Mathew, Chris Scott and Liz Price/Eithne Farry.
Rob was also in a Bristol band called Five Year Plan.
