Black Tambourine formed in Silver Spring, Maryland, and were influenced by The Jesus and Mary Chain, Shop Assistants, The Pastels, 14 Iced Bears, Orange Juice, and the early English bands signed to Creation Records. The band comprised singer Pam Berry, Brian Nelson, Archie Moore and Mike Schulman. The members came to the project already acquainted with each other; both Nelson and Schulman were in Whorl together, while Schulman (also of Powderburns) co-founded Slumberland Records. Moore, meanwhile, was in Velocity Girl, and Berry had co-founded the Chickfactor zine.
Black Tambourine only played a handful of gigs but still had a great influence on emerging American indie pop. They released one single on Slumberland in 1991 ("By Tomorrow"), another on Audrey's Diary the following year ("Throw Aggi Off the Bridge") and had several other songs featured elsewhere: "We Can't Be Friends" appeared on a spinART compilation titled One Last Kiss in 1992 ; and "Pam's Tan" was included on a 1989 Slumberland 7" called What Kind of Heaven Do You Want?
After the band parted ways Berry went on to sing with numerous bands including The Shapiros, glo-worm, Castaway Stones, Veronica Lake, Bright Colored Lights, Belmondo, Seashell Sea and The Pines; she also returned to Chickfactor. Nelson went on to Velocity Girl; Moore to Heartworms; and Schulman to Magpies and Candleman.
