Julian Shah-Tayler decided to move to Los Angeles after playing the Avalon with his electronica band Whitey while supporting Peaches on tour. Though playing electronica may have been fun, the versatile British musician and producer, who already has an extensive list of credits to his name, wanted his next project to resonate more emotionally.
Shah-Tayler, who cites John Lennon as his biggest influence, proceeded to record his first solo record, which will be released under the name Shah in March 2009.
The guitarist/vocalist/bassist/keyboardist says he strived for variety with songs such as the sexy dance number, "Wetter," and the ballad "Beautiful World," to avoid being tied to one genre. Shah will release the tracks currently on his website, on iTunes via his label, Impossible Things Records
Club Moscow at Boardners will host the release party on January 21.
