NEWS: Jambase Premieres New TAUK Single
NEW YORK, NY - July 8, 2014 - The heavy NYC dirty funk 4-piece TAUK team up with Jambase.com to premiere "Friction," the first single off their forthcoming LP Collisions - due out July 22nd. The new album features the band's signature sound - intensely melodic instrumental rock - produced by legendary Grammy-Winner Robert Carranza (Mars Volta, Jack Johnson). Stream "Friction" today on Jambase.com, here: http://bit.ly/TAUKfriction.
TAUK also begins their Pre-Order of the 10-track LP, Collisions, available beginning today for just $10, here: http://tauk.bandcamp.com/. The band will celebrate their new album at their hometown Album Release Show at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY on July 19th. Tickets are still available, here: http://tktwb.tw/1mqgXiW and all advance ticket purchases come with a physical copy of the new album, available for pickup at the show.
Collisions is TAUK's follow-up to their 2013 LP, Homunculus. Tracks from Homunculus continue to receive heavy rotation on SiriusXM Jam Onincluding "Dead Signal" and most recently, "In The Basement of the Alamo." Homunculus also helped grow TAUK's grassroots fan following who voted the band into winning Relix Magazine's "On The Verge" Poll.
To Charlie Dolan, bassist for TAUK, this album is the natural progression following an album like Homunculus. "I like to think of this album as an extension of Homunculus," explains Dolan. "We took some of our favorite parts of that album and expanded on them with new sounds and musical flavors. It's music that makes you think, but also makes you dance."
Along with Dolan, TAUK is Matt Jalbert (guitar), Alric "A.C." Carter (keyboard/ organ), and Isaac Teel (drums). In support of Collisions, the four-piece is hitting the festival and club scene hard this summer with their unique blend of experimental melodic prog rock and sexy grooves. The band's summer lineup includes sets at major music festivals across the country including LOCKN', The Hudson Music Project, Floyd Fest, Catskill Chill Music Festival, Yonder Mountain String Band's Harvest Festival, Camp Barefoot, Bear Creek Music Festival, Art Outside, Mad Tea Party Jam, The Big What?, Blackstock Music Festival, Mantrabash, Abingdon Music Experience, Doah Fest, Pasture Palooza, Pink Moon Festival, and more to be announced soon.

TAUK manages to create a live show experience to match their masterfully produced recordings. The unique chemistry and relaxed-focus of TAUK's performance is undeniable, but their ability to create immensely melodic and emotional music without a vocal lead is what continues to captivate and impress music lovers across all genres. TAUK has landed spots on the biggest festivals such as Bonnaroo, The Hangout Music Festival, Summer Camp, and The Allman Brothers' Peach Fest and played in direct support of some of the most respected names in music including The Funky Meters, Robert Randolph & the Family Band, Lettuce, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, moe., Dopapod, Tim Reynolds & TR3, Tea Leaf Green, Toubab Krewe, The Mantras, The Revivalists and more.
