BILLY SHEEHAN'S TALAS is coming to the Iridium MARCH 4th - MARCH 6th! Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here: http://bit.ly/TalasIridium To set the ...mood, check out this INSANE bass solo from Billy, filmed around 1983 (and kudos to whoever shot this classic bootleg video and preserved it after all these years. Not all heroes wear capes!) ______________________________ In 1983, seeking to take TALAS further than just regional success, Billy Sheehan reformed TALAS with dedicated vocalist, Phil Naro, drummer Mark Miller, and guitarist Mitch Perry, later to be replaced with Johnny Angel. TALAS would release only one album, Live Speed on Ice! TALAS went on to become direct support for many US tours such as Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, Anthrax, White Lion, Quiet Riot, Iron Maiden and more! In 1985 Billy withdrew from TALAS to join The David Lee Roth Band AND THEN... After 32 years, Billy, Phil & Mark reunited, added guitarist Kire Najdovski and played what was to be one night only on July 19th, 2017, in Rochester NY.... With that enthusiastic response, The music of TALAS continues!
