Tank & The Bangas

Description:

This is the major-label debut album from the hottest New Orleans soul band in the country, who won NPR's 2017 Tiny Desk Contest with unanimous acclaim from among 6,000 contestants. The band's main performer, Tariona "Tank" Ball, has been writing and singing her own poetry since she was a child, and the band members' wide-ranging musicality transcends genres, and their improvisation and fun performances are the main attraction. Tank's lyrics are also very sympathetic, as he is from New Orleans and faces many of the problems that America faces, but also addresses them in a positive and happy way, as he addresses emotional problems that can be shared by everyone, regardless of race or gender. [Members] Taliana "Tank" Ball (vo), Norman Spence, Merrell Burkett (key), Joshua Johnson (ds), Albert Allenbach (as, fl)
