The ultimate biker movie soundtrack!

Space Probe Taurus are an acid fuzz rock band, formed back in 1992 under the name Snake Machine. The name change came in 1997 when the band started playing shorter dirty rock songs with catchy choruses instead of the 7-8 minutes long spacerock trips they did before.
The band have mostly been compared (musically) to bands like Mudhoney, The Stooges, MC5 & Blue Cheer. The music is heavily influenced by the late 60's psych rock scene as well as the fuzzed out rock instrumentals used in biker movies from that same era.
There have been a couple of different line-ups in the past, but the core of the band has always been Sundler and Sjoberg. The present line-up has been together since December 2003.
Space Probe Taurus have released one EP, "Insect City" (released by US label Game Two Records). The band has also been featured on a Blue Cheer Tribute cd as well as a couple of compilations.
SPT's music is also featured in the B-movie "Actress Apocalypse" (available from Atomic Erotic Films), a sexy, psychedelic mockumentary from Director Richard R. Anasky which exploits the insanity that goes into the making of an underground film, as well as having a 14 track soundtrack cd included in the dvd package itself. They also have a song on the soundtrack to Director Richard R. Anasky's upcoming film "I Am Vengeance" (the psychedelic trip out of David William Hughes). The band has also one song featured in the Director Tim Ritter's eventual Dirty Cop dvd release...
