Tacocat is a totally FUN-TACULAR (and superly-duperly colorful & sparkly) punk band from Seattle, Washington, USA. Consisting of four members: Lelah Maupin (Drums), Bree McKenna (Bass), Emily Nokes (Lead Vocals), and Eric Randall (Guitar) - Tacocat is a totally solid punk outfit that manages to have a ton of fun (and sound damn good while doin’ it).
No strangers of awesomeness - Tacocat has an extremely thoughtful tongue-in-cheek satirical edge with a significant elegance to their melodic sound (with at times a raw femininity derived from the band’s admiration of the riot grrrl movement and all things ‘90s). Tacocat’s strong female presence (with the male counterpart melodically driving the distortion on his axe) - the band’s motivations stem from a refreshing female perspective that does indeed have an accessibility to all listeners due to it’s overall brilliance.
Wordplay galore - Tacocat’s wit & charisma are just as colorful as the band’s overall appearance & style (which has been matched by only a certain few). The band has a totally chill, yet energetic demeanor, which is complimented very well by the intelligent, yet harmoniously confrontational lyrical work that can sometimes pick a fight (in a way that totally works and validates the lyrical content). Plus, it’s totally rad that their name is a palindrome (originating from absurdist internet stimuli).
If a unicorn farted out a glitter bomb you would get Tacocat - plain and simple. Such an Excellent band!
