About Me

Rockstar by Taggy TonesRockabilly Rumble by Taggy TonesThe band was formed in 1989. Jess was working in a record shop, when he met René who had come to buy some drums. Jess remarked that he wanted to join a band if the opportunity was there. The drumming position wasn't really working out for Rene, so he decided to play doublebass instead. They got Laurent on leadguitar after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper. he was looking for a rock´n´roll band to join. Jess called Jakob and when he joined the band on drums, Taggy Tones was a reality.Read more... MySpace Layouts
