VIDEO: Taddy Porter “Long Slow Drag”

Oklahoma arena blues-rockers’ clip features model/actress Chelsea Tyler - daughter of Steven.

By Blurt Staff

Blurt caught just a snippet of a performance by Stillwater, OK band Taddy Porter at South-by-Southwest, but it was enough. The quartet’s big, bluesy arena rock sound harkens back to a time when it was still cool – and they have the goods to resurrect it, for real. Have a look at the video for the band’s single “Long Slow Drag,” a power ballad minus the schmaltz. Keep an eye out for an appearance by Chelsea Tyler, daughter of Aerosmith frontguy Steven Tyler. And check out tracks from band’s eponymous debut at www.myspace.com/taddyportermusic and see their tour dates after the video.
