[PROG ROCK] We need to talk about TAUK. Like a black hole lined with flavorful, textured sounds, their music sucks you in and swallows you whole. Armed with strong, versatile musicianship, the Long Island natives dish out heavy instrumental jams that propel their unique style. Seamlessly blending a medley of genres ranging from gritty funk, fusion, and jazz to Middle Eastern, ambient and classic rock, they create a sound so rich it’s almost palpable. The lithe fills of AC Carter’s colorful keys, Matt Jalbert’s soaring guitar, Charlie Dolan’s buoyant bass lines and Isaac Teel’s ultrasonic drumming all come together in impeccable harmony, spewing melodies that are as enticing as they are explosive. Their fourth release and first live album, Headroom, dropped in September 2015, and further solidified TAUK’s reputation as one of the most captivating progressive rock bands on the scene today. Mixed by Grammy-winning producer, Robert Carranza, “ Headroom captures the lively energy of TAUK, boasting their flair for getting hot and heavy in the live arena. From the jazzy-funk cuts like, “The Chemist” to a synth-laden, electrified cover of Nirvana’s “In Bloom,” no one can resist grooving along to the beat, and TAUK dares you to try. Catch TAUK with After Funk at Buffalo Iron Works on Wednesday, February 10.
