Keyser Soze has emerged as a top ska band in the West Coast music scene. Keyser Soze blends ska, dub, dancehall, soul, reggae and jazz. Based out of the Reno-Tahoe area, Keyser Soze has built a presence throughout California and the western states via regional touring, CD sales, press and internet coverage, and radio airplay.
Keyser Soze has produced two independent CDs and expects to produce a third by fall 2009. Revenge has already sold 4000 copies and continues to sell at shows and regional record stores. Revenge follows the successful debut EP, Who is Keyser Soze?, which sold 3000 copies itself before the seven songs were reproduced for Revenge. Both CDs have been reviewed favorably in the regional press and supported by commercial and college radio stations. Revenge features 16 energy-packed Keyser Soze originals plus samples, turntables and guest musicians, and is available at live shows, regional record stores, and online through the band's website.
Keyser Soze has shared the stage with many successful international, national and regional artists, playing nightclubs, concerts, and festivals. Headliners include The Wailers, Fishbone, Steel Pulse, Toots and the Maytals, The Specials' Neville Staple, Eek-a-Mouse, Save Ferris, Dubcat, Michael Franti/Spearhead, and Ozomatli. Other successful regional acts Keyser Soze has performed with include Warsaw, the Soul Captives, the Debonaires, Mike Park, Satori, Chris Murray, and B-Side Players.
Keyser Soze features solid musicianship and writing from seven talented artists: Jammal Tarkington, vocals and alto/baritone saxophones; Rodney Teague, trombone and vocals; Ryan Hall, guitar; Ruben Garcia, trumpet; Mike Mayhall, bass; Kev Lum, keyboards; Jon Hall, drums.
