Bio:
In January 1997 UK-born Taz Taylor took a leap of faith and boarded a plane to Los Angeles with nothing more than a guitar, a backpack and roughly $2,000...He spent much of his first year in the USA as a long haul truck driver, criss-crossing the country countless times in an 18-wheeler and spending the downtime in his sleeper berth practicing guitar. Eventually he settled in San Diego CA and set about recording his debut instrumental album "Caffeine Racer" which was released in July 2004. A band was formed and live shows commenced.Caffeine Racer got the attention of legendary vocalist Graham Bonnet, most notable for working with the best guitarists in rock (Ritchie Blackmore, Michael Schenker, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai) and they set about recording the Taz Taylor Band album "Welcome To America" which was released on the UK label Escape Music in Aug 2006. Present TTB drummer Val Trainor joined immediately after the WTA sessions were completed.International tours followed in 2007 and 2008, taking the band to UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary and Czech Republic.In 2009 the band recruited another ex-MSG vocalist, Keith Slack for the "Straight Up" album, also on Escape Music, and also featuring a guest appearance from Deep Purple's Don Airey on keyboards.2010 saw the band returning to Taz's instrumental roots with the release of "Big Dumb Rock".Current TTB bassist Barney Firks joined immediately after the recording of this album and the band played a string of dates to promote BDR opening for MSG (4 times), Uli Jon Roth (4 times), UFO (twice), Gary Hoey (twice), Pat Travers (twice), Dokken, Skid Row, Great White, Molly Hatchet, LA Guns, Lynch Mob, Wishbone Ash, Tony McAlpine, Alan Holdsworth and Greg Howe.In 2014 TTB are on a mission with their brand new album "Deja Voodoo", an all instrumental offering of eight songs featuring a line-up that has been together now for four years and has bonded and grown into something really special.During the summer of 2014 TTB embarked on a 10-date Summer Tour to promote Deja Voodoo, including dates in California as well as eight dates in the UK.
Album:
”The Other Side of Midnight” is the newest LP from UK-born rock guitarist Taz Taylor. Available from his label, No Hair Records, the album features various subgenres of rock and roll – from riff-driven hard rock to ballads and a couple of instrumentals showcasing the band’s abilities.With this new album, TAZ TAYLOR BAND reaches new heights as a quintet (rather than former line up as quartet) – thanks to the addition of acclaimed keyboardist Alessandro Del Vecchio. As an even bigger left turn, ”The Other Side of Midnight” marks the first time his band solely features a female vocalist, who in this case is Laura Vreeland.The result is a piece of work that successfully demonstrates how a marquee guitarist and bandleader – and who had in his previous records several heavyweight vocalists like Doogie White, Graham Bonnet and David Reece – can maintain consistency in his own “voice” (vis a vis, his instrument) even when the singer is an entirely different gender.With her smooth voice and sexy phrasing not excent of power Laura Vreeland provides a really welcomed female touch to Taz’s classic rock bluesy riffs influenced by the likes of Gary Moore and Michael Schenker. They do a cover of Rainbow’s classic ‘Temple Of The King’ and works greatly.
