Dark Castle guitarist Stevie Floyd takes a step into a different realm with Taurus, her new project with Ashley Spungin of Purple Rhinestone Eagle fame. The duo explore some of the same darkness and odd guitar tones that made the Dark Castle material so unique, yet they visit it in a more drone/experimental fashion on their debut LP Life. Stream all of the first side below. You can order a copy at their Bandcamp.
Taurus will hit the road for a string of dates with Agalloch this summer (including Music Hall of Williamsburg on 7/26, tickets), but they'll also be in NYC on July 14, blessing Rockwood Music Hall's bigger Stage 2 at 10pm that night. UPDATE: Due to a glitch in the Bandcamp app in Facebook, this is NOT the same Taurus scheduled for Rockwood Music Hall on 7/14.

There's an NYC band named Taurus that's been playing Rockwood for years - I can't imagine this is that band. You may want to confirm this...

Taurus was the band that wrote the song that Led Zeppelin turned into stairway to heaven.

^ whoops. I'm wrong about that. "Taurus" was the song. Long live the new Taurus.

the app that adds bands dates to bandcamp does so automatically. The Taurus that plays rockwood on July 14th is def a different band. Go to rockwoodmusichall.com and click on the band, you'll see it's different.

Hey guys-
Sorry.... 10:14 was right. Taurus's only NYC show is at MHoW
