Taste of Teeth

The weird guitar band at dance parties and the weird dance band at rock shows, Taste of Teeth will break you into little pieces and put you back in a new order. ToT deliver rich textures, bombast attack and magnificent chaos, creating sonic worlds that dodge genre trends and fuse hypnotic drum driven dance rhythms with a vast palate of psychedelic sounds.Deeply rooted in the Japanese underground, guitarists Yusuke Akai and Daiji Igarashi and keyboardist Scott McConnachie play their instruments like control interfaces for space shuttles. Boldly original and sonically lush, this forward thinking guitar playing flags this band deep within the territory of modern psychadelia and finds it’s perfect counterpoint in the complex yet relentlessly driving rhythmic arrangements and live fire of the two drummers (Nik Mayer-Miller & Tim McConnachie) and bassist (Mike Lynn).In the past 2 years, Taste of Teeth have made ripples in the new music world, carved a unique voice in Brisbane, Sydney, Newcastle, Lismore and Melbourne and have developed significant audiences through a string of 70 or so acclaimed festival and club shows including: a collaborative performance with Damo Suzuki (veteran of the Krautrock scene and vocalist for 70’s psychedelic rock pioneers “Can”), the NOW now Festival Of Spontaneous Music 2008, Queensland Music Festival’s “Australian International Music Market”, Exodus Live, The SOOB Festival, Valley Fiesta, Island Times Festival, Earthdance, The Judith Wright COCA, BIGSOUND 2006, Starlight Full Moon Festival, The Zoo, Sedition, Akemi, The Globe, The SolBar, 303, Bar Open, Rubys Lounge, Uberlingua and many others.Taste of Teeth have recently released their debut LP (Janaury 2008). A stand alone work, this record captures the spirit of improvisation in the group’s music whilst employing the full advantage of a studio environment to further push each composition’s textures, forms, dynamics and depth, bringing the group to new creative heights. The self titled album is now available at ToT live shows, The Forest Cafe (Boundary St, West End) or contact us via myspace!!
