Geggy Tah
This super talented trio from the inland empire of southern
California, were, in my opinion, torn asunder by their own insanity
and the machinations of Virgin, who rightly heard the incredible songs
that Tommy Jordan and the others were writing and imagined hit singles
(they'd already had a minor hit with "Whoever You Are".) Upon
delivering their last record they were met with the usual major label
demand to "go back and record some singles" — with the implicit
promise that more "support" would result, which ended up simply
dragging out the record completion process for almost a year. By the
time the wonderful Into The Oh came out the band didn't exist — a
great shame, as this is still one of my favorite records, whether it
was on Luaka or not. Tommy was deeply in love and the songs reflect
his ecstasy in unclichéd and imaginative ways.

(Elsewhere in the page there's a playlist from Aug 2006 that includes
"First Woman in Space," which as far as I know hasn't been released.
I only know of it from years-ago postings about shows GT played in the
years before Oh was released. Unfortunately, the playlist is no
longer active.)
