Danielz & Tarazara: Behind The Mask, CD

Daniels & Tarazara were formed in 1984 out of the ashes of numerous musical influences (T.Rex, Queen, Thin Lizzy, Sweet and Whitesnake) and they found in Danielz a lead vocalist, who, for a short time in 1984/85, became the darling of the rock music press 'Sounds' and 'Kerrang'..

The band began touring around the UK playing support to Eddie & The Hot Rods, as well as key London dates such as The Marquee, Dingwalls and The Embassy. Two record companies were courting them the first being the mighty Atlantic Records, the second independent FM Records and the band aimed high and went with Atlantic and needless to say, the deal fell through at the last hurdle and by that time they had let the independent slip through the net.

The album recorded in 1984 for that elusive deal is now released for the first time ever with quotes from the time such as 'This guy is a total trip, an ego on stilts' - Malcolm Dome, Kerrang. The band called it a day in 1986 even though they performed on Channel 4's ECT and had testimonials from Ritchie Blackmore, but they still had no deal.

Danielz has for past decade and a half been fronting T.Rextasy, who are one of the most sought after tribute bands in the UK today.
