Taro O'Sullivan's first stint with a band was in Tokyo, Japan where he was born and raised. Not as a drummer but as a vocalist. He was one of the few people who could sing English rock songs without an accent, so he got the gig! But he knew all along that drums was his love. He never wanted to play anything else.
While living in the Bay Area he connected with the original band Misfit Heroes which received a local award from BAMM (Bay Area Music Magazine) in the Best Unsigned Band category. There, he played all the usual spots such as the legendary clubs Bottom of the Hill, Paradise Lounge, New George’s, Bimbos, Last Day Saloon, and more, and opening for acts like Robby Krieger of the Doors. This led to him joining the original band Angel of Thunder, headlining at the premier original clubs in San Francisco and touring the College Circuit.
He has been plaing in LA since 2011 with Mario in various Metal Bands.
When Taro isn’t playing drums, he can be found on his Harley riding up the Pacific Coast Highway or enjoying a meal at the local biker handout “Neptune’s Net.”
