Scottish 4-piece Tacoma Radar formed in the late 1990s, and based themselves equally in Edinburgh and Glasgow. After releasing the singles Tuckahoe (1999) and Pilothouse (2001) on the Glasgow record label Andmoresound (which they shared with Camera Obscura, a band with whom they traded members) Tacoma Radar settled on the lineup of Kenny Anderson (drums), Richie Ferguson (guitar), Andy Hazel (bass, keyboards) and Jennifer Cosgrove (vocals, guitar and violin) for their album No One Waved Goodbye.
