"......their longevity is interesting as you’d think the odds were stacked against them. Tim and Tarn, who have been two-thirds of Ob Jay Da since the 80’s, also do music as a career, which is odd when you think about it. One side of their activities is being in a covers band for convention/corporate work, or wedding receptions (etc), and they also do a Pretenders tribute, as Tarn has that same lopsided ache to her voice (especially ‘Kid’ era) and an all-purpose 80’s one. Alongside that, ensuring sanity is retained, they’ve maintained Objayda. (Check out the Time Machine section of the website proper and see the Gothy hair. They’re not that conventional! They even named the album after a famous well which is supposed to turn anything thrown into it into stone.)"
MICK MERCER formerly of Melody Maker & New Musical Express reviewing our Petrifying Well album in his journal.
Objayda have created a unique situation – enjoying success in many aspects of the music and entertainment industry. Tim & Tarn have written & recorded 7 studio albums, released on their own Burning Ice Records label, which is distributed in the UK by AVID / ARVATO ( SONY / BMG ) and TUNECORE.
Objayda also discovered early on in their music career, that performing as a covers band offered access to a wider audience. This quickly developed into an act, now regarded as one of the UK’s top function and party bands. With both male and female lead vocals backed by immaculate instrumentation of saxophone, electric guitar, bass & drums - Objayda create the ultimate live music entertainment experience for corporate events, private parties, wedding receptions, civil partnership receptions and dinner dance functions.
Objayda are also behind the highly acclaimed tribute bands “Pretend Pretenders” and 80X “Eighties Experience”
