With no singer to front the band Dan left shortly after and formed Madhops. Things went well at the start but the band's line-up only lasted about 3–4 months when it was cut short by D-hauz leaving the band to join 20 Dead Flower Children after their original singer left the band. The band's first song was "Coma 99" which later went on to become a 20 Dead Flower Children song in a different version. The initial line-up featured D-hauz on vocals, Mike on guitar, Dan on bass and Steve on drums. After a few conversations, the 4 members dissolved their current bands and formed the first incarnation of Taproot. One day these bands played a gig together and they both took an interest in each other's band. While another band called Skumbag featured Steve (now of Taproot) on drums and Mike (now of Taproot) on guitar. They are most known for their hit single "Poem" (#5 most played rock track in 2002), as well as a number of other singles from 2000 to the present.īack in the mid 90s, a band called Cymonic Drive featured Dan (now in the band Madhops) on bass and Dennis AKA D-hauz (now ex-20 Dead Flower Children) on vocals.
