TANKOTA


This band is an off-shoot of the Apocalyptic Centurions.a guitar orchestra pared down to 2 sometimes 3 guitars,later tapes may have more.This is the first tape from Oct. 1992.Tankota is an anagram of a statement on the back of the first Boston album,"There Are No Keyboards On This Album",and there are no keyboards on this album either!All the sounds you hear were produced by guitars,sometimes effected.The 1st track here is Joel,Vance,and me,titled "Trinidad(Boston jr.)"which is a reference to a great 70's movie"Desperate Lives",about at risk kids getting in trouble,and Trinidad is their keyword for herb.The "boston jr."part of the title is because of where I got the name of this fascinating ensemble.The 2nd track is just me and Vance,and is longer by half.Lots more to come from Tankota,See if you can get thru this first!!
