Reformed ’70s rock legends TASTE recently launched the lead single and video, I Am God, to their forthcoming album, Life On Earth, at Melbourne’s Ding Dong Lounge.  This exclusive hometown performance made history with the return of original member and globally celebrated drummer, Virgil Donati making a special appearance.

One of the most revered drummers working in America today, the band’s original drummer, Virgil says from his home in Los Angeles, "TASTE was the band that set me on the rock’n’roll road as a teenager back in 1975… Ken Murdoch, Joey Amenta and Michael Tortoni are my musical brothers and I can’t wait to get back on stage to play some of the songs that started this incredible journey."

The Ding Dong audience also witnessed the unveiling of Clayton Jacobson’s explosive video to I Am God: a stunning post-apocalyptic vision of mechanical spiders stalking the havoc of a world in flames, as the band unleashes its prog-metal might in the ruins. 

After two Top 20 albums in two years and four hit singles including, Tickle Your Fancy and their unapologetic signature tune, Boys Will Be Boys, TASTE were just about to sign with Sire Records in the US, when their parents broke down the door of their manager’s South Yarra apartment and all hell broke loose.  This was rock’n’roll in the 1970s. But these four boys were young. The year was 1977 and TASTE were over.

Bass player Michael Tortoni recalls, "We had a tour lined up opening for Queen, Freddie Mercury and the boys were vocal fans of TASTE.  They blasted Boys Will Be Boys each night before they took the stage of their A Night at the Opera tour….  TASTE had the makings of a long-term global success."

With all members going on to have an exceptional career in music across a number of admired bands (Planet X, Uncanny X-Men, Southern Sons), TASTE reformed and the new album, Life on Earth (due late May) was recorded in 2015 with new drummer Damian Corniola.

Life On Earth is out late May.

Remastered versions of the band’s classic 70s albums, Tickle Your Fancy and Knights of Love were released in late 2015 and are available on iTunes now.
