Tao Chemical was a Santa Cruz new wave punk band comprised of Rob Brezsny (a.k.a. Ray Foreplay, a.k.a. Pope Artaud) (vox), Not Michael (guitar), Rick Walker (drums), Bill Walker (guitar), Jim Rutledge (bass), Janet Ring (sound engineering and backing vox), and Marina Shoupe (lighting and stage design).

The quintessential art band, they called themselves "avant-gauche prague rock" and "pagan gospel muzak." They were known for their musical intensity, theatrical stage show, and psychosexual lyrics that seemed intended to provoke everyone, including punks. See more info at www.facebook.com/TaoChemical
