The Tea Cozees

About Me

There's enough to be depressed about in the world, so let's make happy songs!

The Tea Cozees is a pop band.

Once known as the band 3.38 and an Eye, the group has moved away from its improvisational comedy rock (guitar, bassoon, sax, tambourine combination) format to a more accessable indie-pop rock outfit.

The band produces songs that allow the listeners to pick up their song right away, using "na na's" and "bap ba's" constantly throughout their songs. Their songs are simple, catchy, and fun.

Hey hey, we're The Tea Cozees!

The name comes from Mike's TV show pilot about a rock band called The Tea Cozees, today's answer to The Monkees.
"Believe it or Not," it's the The Tea Cozees!
Present day Tea Cozees:
With Rafa living in NY, the band has taken a hiatus. Rich and Mike now play in a band called The Star Tree with their friends Alicia and Jenna.
