Tasnika Uber Alles

Tasnika Über Alles, or TUA as it's more commonly called, was an obscure Ticonderan industrial band based out of Bonro that was nevertheless very influential in the fledgling Bonran industrial scene. Drama of various sorts plagued the band almost from its inception, largely due to founder and frontman M-Tek's massive ego, and there was practically a revolving door of band members. Mistress Andrömeda, M-Tek's girlfriend and second synth player to join the band, kept it going after M-Tek's fatal drug overdose. The band's lineup at the height of its popularity was: Claude Sorenson on vocals and guitar, Mistress Andrömeda and Inspektor Hex on synth, Lex Pashkarov on bass, and Rachel Garvey on drums.

The band never achieved any sort of commercial success, but their sole, self-published album is a cult favorite among underground and indie music aficionados (TUA bootlegs are extremely popular on the OmniNet peer-to-peer music trading sites). It was chiefly notable for its unique spin on the Tasnican industrial sound, infused as it was with the Ticonderan glam sensibility. Every Ticonderan industrial act that followed apes TUA's sound to some degree, and owes their existence to them.
