This band are doing a beautiful thing" Mick Jones" Taurus Trakker are firing on all cylinders!" Pete Wylie Formed in 2006, Taurus Trakker combines the songwriting and guitar talents of Martin Muscatt with the fluidity and energy of female rhythm section Allison Phillips and Denise Page. Using the raw spirit of punk as their art form, the songs are inspired by the experience of life in London, present and past, as well as icons of counter culture such as Dylan, Bukowski, Strummer, Patti Smith, early Stones and The Who. The album 'Between A Bank and A Funeral Parlour' was recorded mostly live with very few overdubs, on 8-track analogue tape, capturing the essence of the band's artistic flow. The band have hosted a tribute to Joe Strummer, playing Clash songs with Mick Jones and members of Hard Fi, as well as a residency at Mick' Jones? Carbon Casino in West London, where they were joined onstage by Mick. Also amongst Taurus Trakker's admirers are Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols), Tony James (Carbon Silicon/Gen-X) , Pete Wylie (The Mighty Wah), John Cooper-Clarke, James-Dean Bradfield (Manic StPreachers), Richard Archer (Hard-Fi) and rock journalist Chris Salewicz. The band are currently in the studio with Mick Jones producing their second album featuring the single - 'Monks Punks and Drunks'.
