** Taggart's 10th Anniversary Show with Late Night Television and Snakes and Music **
Taggart, together as a band since 1995, has been tearing up stages in the tri-state area with their high-energy brand of rock n roll. Taking cues from seminal bands like The Replacements and Husker Du, coupled with British legends like The Who and The Beatles, Taggart has released two full length records and has been featured on numerous compilations, including "Left of The Dial: A Tribute to the Replacements" and "Who’s Not Forgotten: A Tribute to The Who", both on New Jersey indie label, Face Down Records. Taggart’s sets are high energy affairs, sometimes lasting a bombastic 45 minutes, and other times lasting an arena rock worthy two and a half hours! With well over 50 originals and triple that in classic and obscure cover songs, Taggart have been Philadelphia’s best-kept secret for almost 10 years!

Taggart on WPRB this Wednesday
We will be performing a half-hour live set on Jon Solomon’s radio show on 103.3 FM WPRB out of Princeton. It’ll air this Wednesday night at 8:00 and if you live anywhere in the New Jersey / Philly / NYC / Northern Delaware area you should be able to pick it up. If you’re not lucky enough to live in one of those posh areas you’ll be able to listen online at WPRB’s website. Another place of note online is Jon’s website where you can listen to all of the live performances he’s brought us over the last four years. It’s an amazing mix of local heroes (Grand Fabric, Sugar Skulls, Late Night Television) & national treasures (Crooked Fingers, Portastatic). And if you’re not already doing so check out Jon’s radio show every Wednesday night at 7:00 on 103.3 WPRB.

New Songs from GBV Karaoke available for download
We put on a few tunes that captured the spirit of that show. Sure, some of the singing was out of tune, some of the music was wrong, and most of the words weren't right. But at least everyone had a lot to drink. Enjoy.
