Space Probe Taurus

about

Stoner / garage / psychedelic rock band from Karlstad, Sweden. Members: Sjöberg - Vocals & Guitar, Tömte - Guitar & Backing Vocals, Enberg - Bass & Backing Vocals, Boman - Drums & Percussion Facebook Biography (from the band's facebook): "We started out back in 1992 under the name Snake Machine and it was our aim to play loud and dirty as hell garage rock in the vein of Mudhoney, The Stooges and Monster Magnet. The early years served more as a learning period for us in the band and after a short trip into space rock inspired territory we ended up with the sound we have to this day. With the refined sound we also decided to change the name of the band, so in early 1997 Space Probe Taurus was born (the name is taken from a 1965 sci-fi movie). Our music have mostly been compared to bands like Mudhoney, The Stooges, early Monster Magnet, MC5 & Blue Cheer. The music is heavily influenced by the late 60's psych rock scene as well as the fuzzed out rock instrumentals used in biker movies from that same era. There have been a couple of different line-ups in the past, but the one remaining member has always been the vocalist/guitarist Sjoberg. We have released one EP, Insect City (released by US label Game Two Records). We've also been featured on a Blue Cheer Tribute CD as well as a whole bunch of compilations. And on July 4th 2008 our first and self-titled album was finally released (more or less on the band's 16th birthday), to very good reviews, by the Belgian label Buzzv
