1) Tallah is comprised of 6 members from Pennsylvania: Justin Bonitz on vocals, Max Portnoy on drums, Andrew Cooper on bass, Derrick Schneider on lead guitar, Alex Snowden on rhythm, and Mewzen* as their DJ. Tallah shares a passion for playing intense, angry, loud, and heavy music. Tallah relies on the spirit of innovative metal realized through panicked guitar screams, treated with industrial elements and distortion. Screaming vocals, mixed with melodic choruses, and the driving bass guitar, with its deep and dirty tones, sync up effortlessly with the thunderous bellows of the drums and screeching ping of the snare. As of recently, bassist Andrew Cooper parted ways with Tallah due to artistic differences, and the band will tour with a fill-in bassist until they find a permanent member.
*as of August 2023, Mewzen was kicked out of the band due to grooming allegations
2) Tallah is one of the remarkeable persons of Berlins nightlife. He started djing in the beginning of the 90ies, when the wall in Berlin came down. Old bunkers and warehouses became his second home and he enjoyed beeing at all these fresh and now historical parties such as the first Mayday and Loveparade. He started his career playing in several youth clubs in the eastern part of Berlin. After a short period he became resident dj in several known Berlin Clubs such as the MATRIX or SAGE club, which led him to gigs all over Germany. With this reputation he started to organise his own events in several Berlin Clubs, where he played together with Germany’s top Elite DJs, like Westbam and Marusha as well as world famous artists like Felix Da Housecat, John Askew or Paul van Dyk. After his success at the world famous Heineken Thirst DJ Contest he became booking requests from all over Europe and played at places like London, Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, Barcelona and of course the world largest party mecca, IBIZA. Apart from his dj career, Tallah works as an instructor for Europe’s leading dj school, the VibrA School of DJing to support young and fresh talents.
