About Me

tartrazine is a guitar combo from Ealing, London WestSide, also home to the Magic Numbers.After a dozen or so shows in London in 2006, 2007 has already seen the band back in studio putting the finishing touches on a 14 track Long Play record which should see the light of day sometime in the Spring."Bringing their punk pop to the Rock and Roll party…it’s an additive in sweets and cakes so you may find yourself getting a bit hyper prior to sitting in a pile of yer own pooh and having a screaming hissy fit coz the boy with the lisp has stolen your Thomas the Tank Engine."Yes, quite.If you like hearing live music, come see us. If you like putting on live music, come book us.
