Bio:

Tai Chi Swayze are a rag-tag mix of art school scenesters, steel city rockers and inseparateable ex-lovers from around the Globe.

We do this band to impress our friends and the kids who bullied us at school. One day we'll be cool...

We rummage through a crinkled mixed bag of quirky Pop, moody Shoegaze and fizzed up New Wave. Add some retro video games and the occasional vodka fuelled mood swing and we're away.

Collective attention spans are still short so we keep songs under 4 minutes. Who has time for epic songs?

We also like the following:

80’s video games, 90’s Synth, Modern art, New Wave guitars, B-Grade Horror, driving fast, drinking hard and making out. This is likely to change before the end of this paragraph.

Enquires, high fives & general abuse:

You may have noticed that Myspace went the way of the Dodo some time ago. We're over here on Facebook and Twitter.

We have T-shirts! Click image below for the Swayze shop.

koutetsu to honoo no kyodai na tou

Immense tower of steel and fire. Roars with laughter as comets collided with his body. A smouldering giant with no memory of his past.
