  • Bio

    "The Bastard Child of Janis Joplin and the Stooges"-Thomaxe, New York Waste Newspaper This red-hot power trio fuses proto-punk and blues driven by incredibly powerful vocals and lead bass solos. Tara Elliott and The Red Velvets' passionate live performance renders audiences mesmerized. Fronting the band, punk rocker Tara Elliott performs in a theatrical demeanor: rocking hard head-to-toe in a sensuous red velvet that is custom-made and self-designed as her duly trademark. On special occasions, Burlesque dancers are featured and red velvet cupcakes are served during their performance. Their sound reflects influences: Muddy Waters, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner & the Ikettes, The Velvet Underground, The White Stripes and Iggy Pop & the Stooges. June 6, 2010, Tara Elliott and The Red Velvets rocked over 5,000 people at NJ's 19th Annual LGBTI Pride Celebration. They have also shared the stage with national and international acts: Steve Conte of The New York Dolls, Nicole Atkins, The Ramones' producer Daniel Rey, Hamell On Trial and more. In December, Tara Elliott & The Red Velvets' self-released debut eponymous EP listed at No. 9 in SIMGE's TOP 12 EPs of 2010. The EP was engineered by Monster Magnet drummer, Bob Pantella. In an attempt to revive good old fashioned rock n' roll humor, Tara Elliott let Rosemary Conte (mother of New York Doll guitarist, Steve Conte) wash her mouth out with soap for the album cover art. Currently, Tara Elliott & The Red Velvets are recording their forthcoming full-length album. Their 4-song EP release resulted in major radio airplay and interviews on New Jersey rock station 95.9FM The WRAT's Electric Ballroom Radio show as well as Jersey Rock radio show. Legends such as Joey Ramone, Iggy Pop, The Who, and many more have been guests on Electric Ballroom. They have also appeared on New York Television's The Vinny Vella Show last October for their debut TV performance. "We love Tara Elliott. She's a great local talent soon to be an international in the upcoming future. She's been called "The Bastard Child of Janis Joplin and the Stooges". There's not too often you get a quote like that, that someone actually delivers. And she delivers." ..-Keith Roth, DJ of Electric Ballroom Radio 95.9FM The WRAT, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, David Johansen's Mansion Of Fun. Tara Elliott and The Red Velvets have rocked New York City's: Bowery Electric, Arlene's Grocery, Otto's Shrunken Head, Trash Bar (opened for The Ramones producer Daniel Rey), The R Bar, The Shrine and New Jersey's: The Stone Pony, NJ's 19th Annual LGBTI Pride Celebration, Wonder Bar, Wave Gathering Festival 2009, The Saint, Asbury Lanes, Brighton Bar, and countless others.
