   About TagYerit
Songwriter's Rich & Flo Newman started TagYerit in 1994 to infuse their joi de vivre vision upon the unsuspecting listening public. But even before the band could start, Flo had to build her electric guitar in the shape of a rabbit. Only then was it possible to bring their slightly off-centered view of the world to bear fruit.

Their first release Heavy Construction found critical acclaim with many reviewers and in 1996 was selected on Richard Johnston's top Editors Picks list, where he wrote, "full of the pure joy of words and music." Due to untiring online promotion of their first CD, Heavy Construction reached 6 continents. There are still a few copies available, but it is soon destined to become a collector's item. (though it will continue to be available through the digital stores.)

In 1999 they released Tubeman which once again received many fabulous reviews, though with less time spent in promoting, didn't quite reach as wide an audience.

Dateline 2007: TagYerit released Gazing Globe a 6 song EP available at CD Baby

BTW, if you're a gamer, check out the Getting Up Anthem on The Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure game. That's TagYerit's song sampled & remixed with Talib Kweli & Rakim rapping
