History

Tamam Shud evolved from the surf rock|surf band, The Sunsets, in 1967 and was based on Sydney 's northern beaches. The group released two acclaimed LPs, recorded independently, which have both become sought-after collector's items. The band's name is a reference to the Taman Shud Case , a famous unsolved Australian mystery involving a poisoned man. In 1969, Tim Gaze replaced Zytnik on lead guitar. In June 1970, both Davidson and Gaze left to form progressive rock group, Kahvas Jute , with Bob Daisley and Dennis Wilson, Gaze returned to Tamam Shud by January 1971.McFarlane, entry.
