The Tangent Twins , are writers & musicians, Steve Meadows & Keith Small .
They first started to work together way back in 1992 at, The Ministry , Liverpool.
Steve had been working at The Ministry under the guise of The Big Picture , which was an earlier band he’d set up with Mick Greenwood .
While there, Steve, was introduced to Stuart Kershaw , by Andy McCluskey ( OMD ) & was invited to collaborate with Stuart on one of his projects.
Keith, who had known Stuart from their college days had also been called to lend a hand with his writing skills & played a big part in this venture.
The three of them continued to write on various projects together & also worked & performed along side, Andy McCluskey as part of OMD.
In 1996, things took a sour turn. Musical & personal issues had raised their ugly heads & the partnership between the three was no more.
Steve, went back to freelance work as a sound engineer & worked in various studios in Liverpool & North Wales.
Keith on the other hand, carried on with what he does best & performed along side several bands in the area, mainly in a group called Skokiaan & has also performed with Thomas Lang .
Over the years, both Steve & Keith have remained close friends & have even written the odd track together.
In 2006, they decided the time was right to work on an album.
It wasn’t going to be easy as both had work & family commitments that already took up most of their time.
But, with the new studio up & running & the ideas flowing, work started in the autumn of that year.
Although all previous songs had been written under the name, The Big Picture, it was decided that a name change was well over due. And having gone through several ideas, The Tangent Twins , was eventually chosen.
It’s a long story…
The album, now named, Insanity For Beginners , is at it’s completion stage. So now, it’s time for you guys ( the good people of the public ), to have a sneak preview of their work.
There are plans to perform the album along with some of their earlier songs, in the new year & work will continue to make this happen.
We hope you enjoy what we have to offer. If you do…
Spread the word.
