		Colin Meloy might have bloomed into a bespectacled, yarn-spinning scallywag by the time he found fame and fortune with the Decemberists, but with his first band Tarkio, he sounded like a blushing bride about to be stripped bare.
		Based in Missoula, Tarkio was named after an even smaller Montana town, as if they knew the mission to break into indie rock success was doomed.
		Meloy's voracious pop connoisseurship and bookish charm might well have created a buzz around the University of Montana scene, and can be heard gathering strength over the band's early '70s drench of Americana strings, banjo picking and steel guitars.

	Pitchfork: Daily Music News
		During his college days, at the University of Montana in Missoula, Meloy was in a band called Tarkio.
		The band, which took its name from a small town in Western Montana, was comprised of Meloy, Gibson Hartwell (guitar), Louis Stein (bass), and Brian Collins (drums).
		With the success of the Decemberists, Kill Rock Stars will be releasing a complete and comprehensive set of Tarkio material.

	Tarkio: Omnibus: Pitchfork Review
		You would have lived the rest of your years completely and perhaps blissfully unaware of Tarkio if it weren't for the fact that the band's singer and primary songwriter was Colin Meloy, now president-for-life of the Decemberists.
		On the other hand, these songs weren't recorded for this type of release, and bands like Tarkio aren't mean for widespread scrutiny.
		Tarkio formed in Missoula, Montana, in 1996, after Meloy returned from a few semesters at the University of Oregon with a mind to change his major to English.

	julseas.com: Tarkio
		Colin Meloy's (The Decemberists) first band, Tarkio: 1996-1999 (Missoula, MT)
		Tarkio is similarly literary (although there is a similar epic literary them with songs titled "My Mother Was a Chinese Trapeze Artist" and "Tristan and Iseult" -- download at Kill Rock Stars) and Meloy's voice is just as distinctive.
		I'm trying to put my finger on the biggest differences between Tarkio and the Decemberists (I suppose the former is lacking the many maritime themes of the Decemberists).

		Tarkio is also a pioneer band in the raprocktechnopop(mariachi?) genre.
		Separately, Tarkio members are interested in art, violin, swimming, badminton, singing, cello, acting, learning sanskrit, blaring the Click 5 with the top down, hanging out with carnies, lifeguarding, piano, kung fu, and Fit Boyz.
		Tarkio would like to meet Garrett, the inspiration for our song "Garrett," and the apple of our eye.

	Amazon.com: Omnibus: Music: Tarkio
		My friends and I were all going to UM at the same time of Tarkio's hey day and this collection of their recordings has made me think of places I haven't been to in years.
		The album is a collection of Tarkio's two LPs, and, I believe, an EP, as well as a 4-song radio appearence.
		They were an excellent indie pop band in the Smiths tradition that probably would've made it on their own had they been signed.

	DREAMS OF HORSES: Tarkio
		Tarkio was his band while he was attending college in Missoula, Montana.
		I posted a few Tarkio tracks awhile ago, from their only album I Guess I Was Hoping for Something More.
		This fall, Kill Rock Stars will be re-relasing a Tarkio album, most likely I Guess I Was Hoping for Something More, although Tarkio did make an EP, Sea Songs for Landlocked Sailors that may be packaged with the album.

	Tarkio: Omnibus - PopMatters Music Review
		This two-CD set collects EPs and demos from Colin Meloy& first band, Tarkio, which formed in 1996 in Missoula, Montana.
		Meloy himself seems dismissive of his Tarkio years in the liner notes, summing up the whole opus with an offhanded, “As for the songs: feh.
		I like them pretty well.” Still you can see the seeds of what makes the Decemberists so compelling—the elaborate wordplay, the vivid images, the smooth, melodic largeness of song—along with a certain amount of appealing modesty.
