Influences
Fugazi, Frank Zappa, Melvins, Trans Am, Golden, Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Franz Schubert, Kyuss, Mudhoney, No Means No, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, The Cherry Moondrive, Schleimkeim... you know, all those bands and some you unfortunately don't know.
2003: Johannes Nowak (Coney Noise), Christian Döpping (The Natural Craze) and Johannes Döpping (Osis Krull) suddenly started a dangerous and degenerate friendship...
Rising from hypnotic sessions, a motley collection of different song structures evolves. In the diverting to epic songs of Tarentatec you can find elements of postrock, stoner, noise, psychedelic, elektronika and jazz, which they interweave intuitively anew.
2006: (Spring) the first record... Jonas Reinhardt (Rip of Junkies) knocked in Tarentatec as an additional singer
2006: (December) the 7-Song-EP "Baracke 5" infiltrated the government
2008: (Spring) Split-CD "The Candy And Springtime Experience" with our hateful rivals "Osis Krull"... Lars Mäurer joined the band on rhodes and organ
2008: During the "candy and springtime" tour in may Patrick Köhler (now punishing the bass in Tarentatec) started an intrigue with serious concequences... blood brother Johannes Nowak sadly left the band... But he did not leave the planet! Hopefully there will be a future mainstream-underground project bringing the friends back together to take revenge on the evil...
The trio/quartet/big band oscillates between widescreen sound and minimalism; instrumental short stories and dry rock'n'rolling; snapshot and steamroller. Musical patterns are being reflected by all members – own ways within rock music are being explored. Besides, the way of Tarentatec, if there is any direction, is always a tightrope walk between convention and the unreserved search for freedom. Regarding content, Tarentatec is the muddled look at their own environment, the contradictions and doubts, but also the affectionate consideration of friendship and pleasure – in a constant dialog between head and belly.
Tarentatec stinks! It is not just us who think so, also „The others“:
"[...] melodies are being broken, frequent tempo changes and epic passages dominate the amazing instrumental pieces. Sometimes this sounds almost like a raging version of Mogwai. One may suppose that more than one band member also feels comfortable in jazz. [...]” Alternative Nation, October, 2006
"[...]Mein lieber Scholli!" VISIONS, Juli 2007
"[...] a lively sound work with open structures which is always keen on walking new paths. A must for every friend of electric guitars in new garment." Freies Wort, March 2006
"[...] Music that breaths, completely without tiresome varicosities. The freedom and honesty to make mistakes. Inadequacy as a strength: Exactly for this stand Tarentatec. Simply impressive how these youngsters are on their way. A stunning exposure with the expectations of the listener, inside of genial tension-curves, absolutely free from predictable riffs. [...]
‘Tarentatec stinks’, says the band about themselves. Just how much that is everyone should find out actually on their own. [...] " Popcultures, in 2006

I am now recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment) for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him (Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection, and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of purchase!!!
