About Me

Eroom Tam joined The Monster Pickles in 1993. While contributing such gems as "I Gotta Fart" and "I'm A Lush", he did not feel that the growing influence bands like Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine and Tool were having on his music belonged in the Dylan-influenced TMP.

So, Eroom set out to record a solo album in 1994: Art/Logic. The rest is history.

While a fully committed Pickle, his music differs from the band in approach (he writes music and lyrics before recording them...and is usually sober), tone (dark and damn depressing) and production (electronic recording and editing).

Eroom currently lives in Ottawa, Ontario where he assists the band as best he can from the wilderness of Canada.

Albums

Art/Logic (1994) Too Many M's (1995) Anomie (1997) IPA (2002)

Tam also released retroactive time virus , a limited edition EP, in 1994. Only a few copies were produced and it is generally not considered part of Tam's oeuvre except by die-hard collectors who enjoy sappy, overly earnest crap.
