About Me

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:Q. Who is Johnny Taco?A. Johnny Taco is a fictional character, the persona for whom is constantly being changed by the band members as they feel like it. What is solid though, is that he is a young man from mexico who seems to be a bit like an immoral (maybe even hick) Zoro, but if Zoro was a travelling musician rather than a fencer. Nick Brown is the person to have originally come up with Johnny Taco, while working on a music project for school with Roby Thomas. Nick Brown acted as Johnny Taco while Roby acted as his sidekick, Pancho.Q. Hey, is that crazy guy who sings and is dancing around all the time Johnny Taco?A. No! That's Alex, the lead singer of the Tacodoros. Its an easy mistake though, since he is the lead singer. He also did the voice acting for Johnny Taco on their old EP cd they all did for a music class, since Nick and Roby were recording a song that the others weren't involved in when they decided to record a story. Yes, Johnny Taco doesn't sing usually, get over it.Q. Do you guys have a CD?A. Yes, and no. We recorded a poorly made one in 2006 to raise money for the music department of our highschool, but there are no copies of that left and we'd rather not ever print it off again. We will be working on an E.P. sometime soon though (maybe even a full CD).Q. When's your next show?A. We don't know. Nick usually does the booking, and lately our singer has been busy with 2 musicals he's in. We'll start doing shows again in March and will keep them posted on our Bandscheule.Q. What kind of music are you guys?A. We really don't have one specific style of music, since everyone in the band likes differenct kinds. Alex loves folk, Roby loves Punk, Ska and Soul, Nick loves experimental and alternative eclectic musics, Jeremy loves Metal (even though he's mostly a jazz pianist), etc. We don't really seem to have a single style, sorry.Thats all I can think to answer for now.
