Tyketto is an American hard rock band. The group was put together in 1987 by former Waysted vocalist Danny Vaughn; Brooke St. James, Jimi Kennedy, and Michael Clayton completed the lineup. By 1990, the band had signed to Geffen Records, and released their debut album Don't Come Easy, which included the modestly successful single "Forever Young". Musically, the album was somewhere between Whitesnake and Bon Jovi, and Tyketto opened for the former on many bills.

  • Tyketto is an American hard rock band. The group was put together in 1987 by former Waysted vocalist Danny Vaughn; Brooke St. James, Jimi Kennedy, and Michael Clayton completed the lineup. By 1990, the band had signed to Geffen Records, and released their debut album Don't Come Easy, which included the modestly successful single "Forever Young". Musically, the album was somewhere between Whitesnake and Bon Jovi, and Tyketto opened for the former on many bills. However, the rise of the grunge sound in 1991 saw Tyketto's hopes of a big breakthrough begin to recede. Jimi left the band and was replaced by Jamie Scott. Their second album was rejected by Geffen and finally emerged in 1994 under the title Strength in Numbers on CMC International in the USA and Music for Nations elsewhere in the world. The following year, Vaughn left the band to look after his wife, who had developed cancer, and was replaced by former Tall Stories vocalist Steve Augeri. Tyketto's sound began to move more toward a Journey-type style (Augeri would later become lead vocalist for Journey), and this line-up released Shine in 1995, again on CMC / Music for Nations. However, dwindling audiences and the changing landscape of the rock industry saw the band split up in 1996, releasing the live album Take Out & Served Up Live as a swan song, having never really broken through. The various band members went onto other projects: most notably Vaughn, Clayton and Scott would reunite in Vaughn. Vaughn would eventually start releasing material under his own name in 2007. In 2004, Tyketto reformed for a reunion tour with the full original lineup. They played a second set of reunion dates in 2007 and stated at the time that this was the last time the original four members, or any other line up, would ever perform under the Tyketto name. To coincide with the dates the band released an The Last Sunset - Farewell 2007 consisting of alternative versions of previously released songs and unreleased songs unearthed from long forgotten demo tapes. Despite this announcement, in 2008 Tyketto reformed again for more dates. In April they played the Hard In Rio 2 festival in Brazil, and also played four European dates for October 2008 including Firefest. However due to scheduling conflicts Brooke St. James was unable to join the band for these dates and was replaced by P.J. Zitarosa, a former member of Vaughn and Danny's solo career backing band. Zitarosa has remained with the band since this. Tyketto toured Europe in January 2009 and South American dates are planned for May 2009. The band are not currently recording but have expressed interest in possibly writing and recording new material.
  • I Tyketto sono un gruppo hair metal statunitense formato nel 1987 a Belmar, New Jersey.
  • Vindo de Nova York, Tyketto é considerado pelos amantes do Hard rock como uma das mais injustiçadas bandas do gênero. Surgiram em 1991 quando o Grunge veio com tudo detonando os outros estilos musicais que dependiam das rádios norte-americanas. O vocal Danny Vaughn se junta com o guitarrista Brooke St. James, o baixista Jimi Kennedy e o baterista Michael Clayton Arbeeny. A banda faz bonito logo no debut Don´t Come Easy de 91. Apesar do talento de cada um dos músicos, o ponto alto desta banda era a voz de Danny. Músicas como Forever Young e Standing Alone são cultuadas até os dias de hoje. Agora com Jamie Scott no baixo, no segundo disco Strenght In Numbers de 94 o Hard rock perdia terreno nas rádios e para piorar, Danny sai em 95 para ficar mais tempo com a esposa bastante doente. Steve Augeri substitui Danny. A banda lança Shine em 95 e Take Out & Served Up Live em 96. Augery sai para substituir Steve Perry no Journey decretando o fim da banda. Os integrantes originais da primeira formação se reuniram em 2004, e fizeram shows por toda a Europa, é possível encontrar na internet o bootleg do show realizado em Madri. Danny Vaughn segue carreira solo, onde retrata um estilo um pouco mais pesado que no Tyketto. Em 2007 é lançado o album The Last Sunset: Farawell 2007 com algumas demos, raridades e alguns bootlegs, o que era para ser o album de despedida, mas com a boa resposta dos fãs o Tyketto ficou novamente com a atenção voltada para si e excursionaram pela Europa e América do Sul entre 2007/2008, onde foram aclamados pelos fãs brasileiros no Hard in Rio II. Empolgados com a resposta do público, a banda decidiu continuar na estrada, mas infelizmente no final de 2008 é anunciada a saida de Brooke St. James, devido a incompatibilidade de tempo e projetos particulares, em seu lugar entrou o guitarrista PJ Zitarosa, que tocou com Danny nos álbuns Soldiers and Sailors On Riverside e Fearless. Após o Firefest, é anunciado também a inclusão de um tecladista no Tyketto, seu nome é Bobby Lynch. O Tyketto excursionará pela Europa e América do Norte em Janeiro/Fevereiro - 2009, na turnê chamada Around The World in Eighteen Days Tour.
