Hey! Hello! is a British-American power pop band, formed by the New
York-based singer Victoria Liedtke and the British singer-songwriter,
Ginger Wildheart
Leading on from a chance meeting in a record
store between two old school friends, Tax The
Heat crafted the early rumblings of their
retro-rock'n'roll sound in the late-night living
room jam sessions. As a result, the 4-piece
started recording their own demos using
whatever suitable equipment and locations
were available at the time.
The band have since found the ears of some
of their most well respected contemporaries
with Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy fame
announcing Tax The Heat as his 'Favourite
New Band' on VH1's "That Metal Show"
(USA).
Tax the Heat support bands are;
Broken Witt Rebels + Crimson Star
Birmingham quartet Broken Witt Rebels
combine the power and intensity of indie rock
with the finesse and delicacy of soulful blues.
Heralded as one of the most exciting new live
bands in the country, they have just released
a new EP Georgia Pine which is out now.
