Geggy Tah is a band initially composed of writer/singer Tommy Jordan and keyboard/guitarist Greg Kurstin. Each of them has a younger sister who was unable to pronounce her brother's name when very young; "Geggy" and "Tah" were the baby girls' mispronunciations of their brothers' names. Their first release, ''Grand Opening'', appeared in 1994 on David Byrne's label Luaka Bop. For their 1996 release ''Sacred Cow'', they added drummer Daren Hahn to the lineup. Also on Luaka Bop, the album spawned the hit single "Whoever You Are" which peaked at #16 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart (the song would also appear in a Mercedes-Benz commercial circa 2001). Gina is the name of the last track and the name of the dog on the covers of both ''Grand Opening'' and ''Sacred Cow''. Gina's owner was Susan Rogers, the producer of ''Grand Opening'' and ''Sacred Cow'' whose credits also include Prince, The Jacksons, David Byrne, Barenaked Ladies and Edie Brickell. In 1999, the band announced a new album entitled ''Music Inspired by the Fragrance'', and released two songs ("Space Heater" and "Sweat") on the web in mp3 format. However, in part because of Luaka Bop's move from Warner Bros. to Virgin Records, the album went unreleased until 2001, by which point it had acquired a new title: ''Into the Oh''. ''Into the Oh'' was released on Luaka Bop / Virgin with new band members including Los Angeles session percussionist and composer "Lavey" Bruce Millstein. In 2006, Kurstin formed a new band, The Bird and the Bee. In 2010, Kurstin was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Producer, Non-Classical division for his work on Lily Allen's ''It's Not Me, It's You''. ==Discography== * ''Grand Opening'' (1994, Luaka Bop) * ''Sacred Cow'' (1996, Luaka Bop) * ''Into the Oh'' (2001, Luaka Bop/Virgin Records) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Geggy Tah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
