Taipei Houston is the newly formed band of Lars Ulrich’s sons. Myles and Layne Ulrich have shared a snippet of an original song called “Respecter” on their Instagram. The duo is scheduled to perform at Alex’s Bar in Long Beach, California on Thursday, September 9.
Back in April 2020, Ulrich posted a video of Myles and Layne’s blistering take on “Eleanor Rigby” (The Beatles). At the time, he described their rendition to Rolling Stone as “this insane, three-minute Blue Cheer, crazy, garage-rock version of ‘Eleanor Rigby’. “Obviously, there’s been some incredible versions of ‘Eleanor Rigby’ along the way, but I’m pretty sure there’s never been one that had this kind of sound, this kind of feel, this kind of energy and madness to it,” he said. “I was, like, ‘You know what, boys? You done me proud.'”
23-year-old Myles plays drums, while 20-year-old Layne plays bass and sings. Ulrich had Myles and Layne with former wife Skylar Satenstein.
