TEAZE Pure- bred Rock and Roll

Teaze has made it. But success was a long time coming in Canada. Times were
tough back in hometown Windsor, Ontario, where the future looked bleak and
the engagement calendar blank. Then they met up with Bob Rags of Terry
Flood Management, who recognizing their superstar potential, sent them to
Montreal producer George Lagios, who set them on the right track. The rest
is history. They became a smash hit in Japan, playing to sold-out triple
encore crowds. Back home after their Japanese tour and two gold albums,
they still weren't accorded star status in Canada, having to content
themselves with opening for others such as Streetheart. Now, with the
expertise of Donald K. Donald Productions and Aquarius Records, Teaze is on
their way. Pure-bred rockers who don't pretend to be anything else, the
talented four include founder and leader Brian Danter on bass. Also the
group's vocalist, Danter has been described as a "blue-eyed, blond-haired
powerhouse who continuously bounces about like an electrified superball."
Drummer Mike Kozak has the reputation of group ham. Mark Bradac, after
completing his BA in political Science at the University of Windsor,
decided the thrill of going before an audience was more for him, and
abandoned thoughts of a political career for the guitar. Lobster-lover
Chuck Price completes the group's dynamic guitar duo. Hailed as "damn good
rock and roll," by the Edmonton Journal and "one hell of a live act," by
British weekly. Teaze is known as the band that revitalized rock n' roll
roots. They make rock n' roll fun to listen to again.

TEAZE/Toronto
Lady Beaverbrook Rink, Fredericton, NB, Canada, May 8, 1979
by David Dunsmuir for The Daily Gleaner

Rock fans turning out for last night's Teaze concert at the Lady
Beaverbrook Rink could have saved their $6.50 and spent it on the groups
latest album. At least that way they would have been able to hear the
vocals and solos. Feedback from the rink's low ceiling muddied vocals and
guitars solos were all but lost in the bass-heavy din of noise generated by
conditions. Last night's concert got off to a slow start with the mainly
teenage audience unresponsive to Toronto, the Ontario rock n' wave which
opened for Teaze. The main reaction came when Toronto played the single
"Even the Score" but by the time Toronto had worked into their stage
repertoire their performance was almost over. Teaze lit the spark of
enthusiasm with its audience, emerging with a blast of sound and light.
Surrounded by the white mannequins which are part of the group's trade
mark, the lights played around the four member band on stage. Unlike
Toronto, who seemed stifled by the lack of fan interest, Teaze put on a
dynamic and polished show. Teaze stuck to material from it's latest album.
Coming on strong and fast Teaze didn't let up and the fans greeted each
number with increasing enthusiasm. The main problem with the evening was
over-boosted sound for the size of the Beaverbrook Rink complicated by
annoying reverberation. If both groups toned down their sound systems when
faced with a smaller arena and audience, the result would be more
effective sending fans home with the group's songs singing rather than
ringing in their ears.

April Wine/TEAZE
Aitken Centre, Fredericton, NB, Canada. June 22. 1978
by Sandy Portagous for The Daily Gleaner

For reasons which no one seems capable of making clear, there has rarely
been a rock concert that has started even nearly on time. The concert,
slated to begin at 8:00pm didn't start to nearly after 9:00pm But the show
did finally begin with opening act Teaze helping to bring the audience back
to life. Teaze was definitely one of the best opening acts to hit the
Capital city in quite some time. While the group is representative of hard
rock/heavy metal styles, it is much more professional than the average
raunchy opening bands. The opening number was an excellent choice as it
gave the audience a quick example of what the group is capable of. The
four-man band performed its new single "Stay Here," complete with drummer
Mike Kozak's apt solo. The group's latest album title cut "On the Loose"
was performed during the fairly short set as well. One unique aspect of
Teaze is it's inclusion of dual lead guitars, which seems to give the
group a very energetic feeling. Mark Bradac and Chuck Price are two lead
guitar players to be commended.
