Eonian Records<\/strong>\u00a0is pleased to present the first single and lyric video,\u00a0\u2018Shipwrecked\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>from the upcoming two album set from\u00a0TAZ.\u00a0<\/strong>www.EonianRecords.com<\/a>.
\u00a0
Of the many \u201calmost-famous\u201d Rock bands from The Sunset Strip throughout the \u201880s,\u00a0TAZ<\/strong>\u00a0stands out as the biggest. This band combined Pop, Funk, Metal, and Glam with a stage show that would not let you look away for fear of missing something amazing.
\u00a0
\u2018Shipwrecked\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0was produced by\u00a0Rob Cavallo<\/strong>, producer, musician, and record industry executive. He is among the biggest-selling producers in history and has produced or been creatively involved in albums that sold over 130 million units worldwide. Primarily known for his production work with\u00a0Green Day<\/strong>, he has also worked with\u00a0Linkin Park<\/strong>,\u00a0My Chemical Romance<\/strong>,\u00a0Alanis Morissette<\/strong>,\u00a0Black Sabbath<\/strong>, and\u00a0Shinedown<\/strong>, among others. He has also won multiple Grammy Awards.

\u201dRob was great; he loved what we were doing and wanted to work with us,\u201d Ethan Gladstone said. \u201c(He’s a) very talented guy. I think we might have been among one of his first artists. He got us a demo deal with Warner Bros. We recorded with big-time engineer\u00a0Magic A. Moreno\u00a0<\/strong>(David Lee Roth, Phil Collins, Steve Vai<\/strong>) and Rob producing. We thought this was going to be it. Unfortunately, Warner ended up passing. Thankful to see the Cavallo\/Moreno sessions come to fruition with Eonian Records.\u201d<\/em>

Playing the Southern California club circuit, songwriters and lyricists Ethan Gladstone and Kent Kleven, along with Neil Carlson and Mike Downey, formed one of the most unique and dynamic bands of the ’80s named MANIAC THRUST in 1983.
\u00a0
Playing their breed of energetic Pop-Metal, MANIAC THRUST played throughout Hollywood and Orange County. After several drumming changes and a couple bass players, the band played their final show as MANIAC THRUST in the fall of 1985, eventually changing their name to\u00a0TAZ<\/strong>.
\u00a0
The newly named four-piece band continued playing at numerous Hollywood, Orange County, San Francisco, and Las Vegas clubs. The crowd\u2019s response was exceptional wherever they played, and they always filled the clubs to capacity.\u00a0TAZ\u00a0<\/strong>had formed one of the hottest bands to hit the Rock scene in years.
\u00a0
In 1987 West Hollywood\u2019s Sunset Strip scene had exploded! Hard Rock and Glam Metal were now dominating the top of the Billboard Music Charts, selling millions of copies multiple times over, selling out worldwide tours, and producing chart-topping singles while opening the door to MTV and commercial success for other bands at the end of the decade. It also became the most competitive market for Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll that had existed.
\u00a0
During this time,\u00a0TAZ\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>craft had begun to take shape, as they continued to take their songwriting to a new pinnacle. Exceptionally talented,\u00a0TAZ<\/strong>\u00a0was taking California by storm. They continued to sell out every venue they played especially throughout West Hollywood, including Gazzarris, The Roxy, Troubadour, L.A. Country Club, and Whisky, they were featured in BAM, Hollywood Rocks, Rock City News, and Screamer, as well as on the best Rock radio station in the country, KNAC Pure Rock 105.5.
\u00a0
Over the next three years,\u00a0TAZ\u00a0<\/strong>would record with famed producers such as\u00a0Kim Vincent Fowley<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Rob Cavallo<\/strong>, as well as in The Hangar 14 Studio, Music Grinder Studios, Monterey Sound Studios, and Take One Studio. How\u00a0TAZ\u00a0<\/strong>never made it big is among Rock music\u2019s great mysteries, but at least we can now discover\u00a0TAZ<\/strong>\u00a0all over again.
