Band Members:Tao Jones live @ Gaspar’s (now Schuba’s) Chicago 11-27-1985 ~ Carla Evonne: vocal, alto sax & percussion ~ Michael Evon: guitar & vocal ~ Terry Walker: keyboards & vocal ~ Bill Hyland: bass ~ Oberheim DMX: drum machine ~~~~~ October 31, 1984: Terry Walker & Michael Evon dissolved their band "Two Worlds Collide" in Akron, OH. and moved to Chicago to join the remaining members of one of the hottest & most popular bands in Chicago - "Bohemia". "Bohemia" did not survive, even with this influx of "new blood", but out of it’s ashes arose another ill-fated band - "Tao Jones". Bohemia’s Carla Evonne. along with Michael & Terry, wooed Bill Hyland from another of Chicago’s top bands, "Phil n the Blanks", to play bass. This is the debut of Tao Jones. The next show, opening for "Midge Ure" at Chicago’s "Vic Theater", was canceled at the very last minute. Tao Jones was on stage ready to go, Midge Ure’s fans were lined up outside for a couple blocks, when we finally learned that despite tremendous effort, the headliner’s missing instruments (lost at LAX) could not possibly reach Chicago in time. Sadly, creative differences brought an end to this to this project almost at it’s inception. Luckily, this video has survived.
