With the addition of Chad Tasky on drums and Larry Boothroyd on bass KnightressM1 dives deeper into metal undertones, all the while avoiding any genre specific typecasting . With decades of honed musicianship and rebellious musical natures, each member brings forward a unique take on their instrument and a profound understanding of how to evolve as a powerful and cohesive unit.

Having been a part of the Bay Area music scene since moving from the Seattle area to San Francisco in 1992, Chad Tasky has performed with a wide variety of bands - including The Goldenhearts, Disastroid, The Rocket Queens, Enda, StereoGrande and Andiamo. He studied music-recording and African drumming in college and is currently on a mission to read every book ever written by a drummer. When not performing, Chad works as a professional touring drum-tech for some of the best drummers around - including Dennis Chambers, Stewart Copeland, Tim Alexander and Abe Cunningham.
