Band bio:Tarantella started up in 2000. Liv-Hilde and Inger-Lise from the previous fuzzrock band "Heart of Darkness" wanted to make some new and creative music.They got Monica Ruud (who played drums in Cybele and Dr. Kurt (+ other bands - and now bøyen beng / Kakke & DeMonica with them. Inger-Lise startedtosing for the first time (after playing guitar) and Monica changed her drums with synth. Marianne Mortensen stepped in at drums and Taran Greni, who hadplayed in different bands (mainly with Maria Orieta ) wanted to play bass. Taran sometimes sings for Big Bang and Undertakers Circus. The band played for a while and recorded some songs in 2001 and 2002. Amongst these are Laika which is about the russian dog Laika who was the first dog in space...
