TAO
Biography
TAO is an italian songwriter, musician, producer and creator of the revolutionary project TAO Love Bus Experience. He started his career in 2003 with the single Che colpa abbiamo noi, followed in 2004 by Primo Amore (both singles with a good radio airplay).
In 2005 TAO published his firts album FORLìVERPOOL - label Grace Orange/distribution Venus - recorded in the city of Forlì. The title and most of the songs included are a tribute to the music of Fab Four. The album received good attention from italian press, web and radio-tv network.
TAO played on the record guitars, bass, drums and vocals. He wrote, produced and arranged the whole work with a little help from his friend David Sabiu.
In 2007 TAO published his second lp LULTIMO JAMES DEAN (The last James Dean) label Grace Orange/distribution Self) produced with Paolo Agosta and with Tommaso Colliva as sound engineer (Muse, Afterhours, Vibrazioni).
A warm record with twang guitars that remind the first Morricone, Shadows and the beat generation. The songs are also influenced by old italian songwriting from the 60 (De Andrè, Tenco, Paoli). The singles were two rock songs: Nessuno ti ama per quello che sei and Spirito del Rock (that soon became an anthem during the concerts).
To promote the album from the summer of 2007 TAO give life to TAO Love Bus Experience,
an incredibile rock n roll tour: the first rock n roll motion tour on board of TAO Love Bus, a Volkswagen van of the 70 hyppie style (with a powerful audio equipment), inside which TAO and his band give life to a real concert.
250 live shows in 130 cities during two years of never-ending tour. With the great attention of national press and tv, in 2008 TAO has received by MEI (the most important meeting of indie label in Italy) a prize for the most original tour and for the best and innovative model of musical distribution (TAO Love Bus is also a shop!)
TAO is now ready to publish his third album and to export outside Italy with his band this incredible adventure called TAO Love Bus Experience!
Great version.
