Artist Bio
|
Tak Matsumoto, having carved his reputation as chief songwriter, guitarist and producer of the Japanese rock band, B'Z, is a bona fide guitar superstar in his native land, with a huge following. The B'Z have sold over 80 million units in Japan alone, making them Japan's biggest selling band in history.
In late 2003 he formulated a new band venture billed as TMG - Tak Matsumoto Group: a collaboration featuring the Night Ranger and Damn Yankees credited bassist Jack Blades and ex-Mr. Big vocalist Eric Martin. Drums came from the ex-Foreigner, Slash's Snakepit and Pride & Glory man Brian Tichy and Lenny Kravitz drummer Cindy Blackman, with Chris Frazier taking over for live work.
The debut single, "Oh Japan (Our Time Is Now)", was released in Japan in March of 2004. An extensive Japanese tour was scheduled for July with the album selling huge amounts and charting!
Some early reviews in the international press describe the album as follows:
"This is a perfect slice of hard rock, with a super heavy and in your face production that updates the sound, melodies and style to 2004, while keeping the best elements of the classic debut's from Mr. Big and Damn Yankees" - melodicrock.com
“TMG drag melodic hard rock kicking and screaming into 2004” – Fireworks Magazine, UK
A strong contender for the hard rock album of the year title has come ! Don't miss it !!!
