band N°103 - RUSTY STEEL AND THE TIN TAX

Also only one of Best crazied early England band ......

Biographie

The Star Tones were formed in 2007, following our debut album "Embassy Sessions" on Foot Tapping Records. However, Rusti & Stewart go way, way back (longer than we'd like to admit) to the "Pre Tin Tax" age, playing in a band called "The Jumpin' Jax" during the early 80s. Success in the form of Fame without the Fortune came along for us when we formed Rusti Steel & the Tin Tax in 1986. After many albums, radio & TV work and extensive touring of Europe, Scandinavia & UK (in which we made so many great friends - it's so good to catch up with some of you on Facebook!), the Tin Tax finally split amicably around 1999/2000. After this, I formed "Check Crosby & his Red Hot Wranglers", a 6-piece Western Swing outfit. I really enjoyed playing purely roots music with this band but eventually wanted to play a more varied set, including Rockabilly, Rock'n'Roll & Blues .... and that is where Rusti Steel & the Star Tones were born. Things took off well for the Star Tones too and we're thankful to have played lots of Festivals & Weekenders and great gigs at great Rockin' venues where we've always been given a very warm reception and great response (thanks everybody for that!) and we're looking forward to plenty more already booked over the next couple of years. Check out our latest album on Western Star Records "Gone With The Wind" ... it's had some great reviews & radio play. Alan Wilson from Western Star did a fantastic job on producing this record and he made us feel so "at home" in his studio that we're very happy to be recording another album with him next year ... watch this space!
