Tin Tin

Artist Biography by Greg Prato Astral Taxi Comprised of members Steve Kipner (keyboards, percussion, vocals), Steve Groves (guitars, percussion, vocals), Johnny Vallins (bass, guitar, vocals), and Geoff Bridgford (drums), the obscure Australian pop/rock band Tin Tin formed in 1968. They issued a pair of albums in the early '70s -- a self-titled debut from 1970 (which spawned the single "Toast and Marmalade for Tea") and 1971's sophomore effort, Astral Taxi -- both of which were produced by the Bee Gees' Maurice Gibb, who also played assorted instruments. The quartet broke up in 1973.
