Tattle Tale was an American musical group that existed between 1992 and 1995. Composed of Jen Wood and Madigan Shive, they were active in the grrrl pop scene, playing what was later to be termed folk punk.

The Seattle-based group's song "Glass Vase Cello Case" was featured in the 1999 film But I'm A Cheerleader by Jamie Babbit.

Overview[]

The group was formed by Jen Wood and Madigan Shive in 1992 at the ages of 15 and 17 respectively. They played on numerous compilations before releasing their first single, titled "Early Daze," which was followed by their second single, "Alderwood Mall."

On November 9, 1993 they released a self-titled demo cassette on the record label Kill Rock Stars, and on July 14, 1995 they released an album titled Sew True, which is now out of print.

In 1995, the band broke up, with Wood pursuing a solo career and several collaborative efforts including vocals on 2005 releases by The Postal Service, and Shive fronting the chamber-punk group Bonfire Madigan.
