Bio
.. --> HTML Codes by Quackit.com --> ....The Official Tarkus MySpace Page.. ......Create a free website.... .............. ....Myspace Layouts.. at Pimp-My-Profile.com / ..Hot Graphics.. .. .... .."Tarkus History":.. ..First Chapter:.. In Peru, in the era of the 70’s, a Rock band (Heavy Rock) was born, with songs sung in Spanish. The music begun to show people that hard rock, could also be sung in Spanish. At that time, rock was only sung in English. That group was called Tarkus... ..The name Tarkus was inspired by an LP record of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, whose cover picture inspired the musical force behind the band Tarkus... ..The group was only together for 7 months, recording a single album, due to the fact that the guitarist and composer, Dario Gianella, retired from the band after the album was recorded. This action led the other members to cancel the project after the album was released... ..The album had it all: great songs, talented musicians, and a futuristic vision. However, the record company found that music was too advanced for that time. Never-the-less, they decided to release a minimum number of copies of the album, without any promotion... ..Second Chapter:.. ..Years later, in the 90’s, the original Tarkus album was rediscovered and re-released via the internet. It started to become popular internationally and fans began to order the CD online. The "boom" was so impressive that it opened the door to a new generation of rock fans that began to consider Tarkus as a cult band... ..Taking advantage of the continuing impact of the revival of the first album/CD, in 2007 Alex Natanson, aka, Nathanson (original singer) and Walo Carrillo (original drummer), along with Christian Van Lacke (on guitar) son of Guillermo Van Lacke (ex-bass of Tarkus) were inspired to seek a reunion with Tarkus to satisfy their audience. They started to practice the 8 songs that were on the original recordings of the “Tarkus” album and thus were able to perform them in a series of live concerts in 2007/2008... ..Third Chapter:.. ..Then the idea was born to follow up with a continuation of the magic of the group, by recording a second CD, entitled Tarkus2... ..As a result of having had the opportunity to record new Tarkus material and for being the only member who remembered some of the unpublished songs that the group had (but were never released) Alex felt a great responsibility to take charge of the overall production of the CD. Throughout the years, he sang the songs with different groups, however, never recording them because it had always been his desire to record them someday with Tarkus... ..The opportunity presented itself in April of 2008 and was completed in November of the same year... ..With Alex’s new songs and adding some unreleased songs, the collection was formed that would be required for the recording of new material. Thus leading to the birth of the new Tarkus2 CD... ..It is the hope that the new songs on Tarkus2 are to the taste and touch the heart of everyone who admires their original music. It is the greatest wish that this CD open doors for Tarkus to continue sharing their songs and their art with the rest of the world... ..And the story continues............ .. ...."Tarkus2 CD Now Available".. .. .... .. .. .. .. .... ..Price Includes Shipping and Handling.. .. ....Also Available On -.. .. iTunes:.. ....http://www.apple.com/search/ipoditunes/?q=tarkus2...... .. ......CdBaby:.. ......http://cdbaby.com/cd/tarkus...... .. .......... .. ......Lala:.. ......http://www.lala.com/album/2810527644569829377......
