"…let's celebrate what this is: a big balls-out danceable pop tune…"
— Popjustice.com "Song Of The Day" (5/7/11)
“…a sizeable chunk of dance pop full of sunshine and energizing synth drops. Produced by Grammy nominated Michael Linney and Dj Ivan Corraliza AKA Ill Factor who between them have clocked up a client reading of Ke$ha, Jason Derulo, Kelly Rowland, Jared Evan, Justin Timberlake, Jessie J and Roisin Murphy amongst many, this spritely single buzz track is on course to get seriously noted.” — ElectroQueer.com (5/7/11)
Triple threat Taryn Manning continues to run full-speed ahead with her new single “TURN IT UP!,” a vivacious electro-pop track that’s the first solo endeavor from the musician, actress and DJ, available now at iTunes. She has now made available remixes for the song by Richard Morel, Ian Nieman, DJ Irene, Jochen Simms, CID, Michael Linneyand Automatic Panic.
Her newest film The Perfect Age of Rock ‘N’ Roll arrives in theaters and on-demand August 5. It stars TARYN—along with Kevin Zegers, Jason Ritter, Lukas Haas and Peter Fonda—as Rose Atropos, the fiery manager for a band making a journey along historic Route 66 in hopes of salvaging a long lost dream and rekindling the mojo that made its debut album a huge success. Featuring appearances by some of the world's greatest blues artists, a killer soundtrack and scenes of mayhem, triumph and tragedy, The Perfect Age of Rock ‘N’ Roll is an unforgettable wild ride that brings two friends closer to each other, their destiny and the truth behind the music.

TARYN’s next music appearances are set for Las Vegas this Saturday, June 25 for DJ sets at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Revel Saturdays during the day and Vanity Nightclub that night, coinciding with Electric Daisy Carnival. Both are DJ sets which are open format including Top 40 remixes, dance, rock, discohouse, hip hop and electronica as well as her original music with live vocal. Recent gigs included: Manor House in San Francisco, Blush at the Wynn in Las Vegas, Next Door Lounge in Hollywood for Monster Energy Drink, Voyeur Nightclub in Los Angeles where she performed live alongside her music video, the 125th birthday of Coca-Cola at Kitson Robertson Courtyard, the opening of a new Apple Store in Culver City, CA and House of Blues Sunset’s Foundation Room.
No stranger to the music world, TARYN MANNING already created a successful music career with Boomkat, created with her brother Kellin and signed to Dreamworks Records. The trip-pop band released two albums and both singles from Boomkat’s first record, Boomkatalog One—"The Wreckoning" and "What U Do 2 Me"—hit #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play Charts. The band was named the #5 Hot Dance Club Play Artist byBillboard magazine and their song "Wastin' My Time" was personally licensed by Eminemand featured on the 8 Mile soundtrack, which sold over 6 million records worldwide. Catherine Wagley of Bunker Hill magazine donned TARYN a "…punk reincarnation of Twiggy" in their ‘breakout issue’ (January 2011). This past April she presented her bold, streamlined style for the cover of Playboy’s ‘sex & music’ issue and discussed her careers in music, acting and DJing as she prepares to release a set of two EP’s leading up to her first solo album later this year. “Turn It Up!” is the first of a collection of songs written and/or co-written by TARYN with the help of some of the music industry’s most gifted songwriters and producers including Michael “Linney,” Ill Factor, Butch Walker, Stewart Cararas and H. Vice with Teddy Riley and Jimmy Douglas both lending a creative hand.
TARYN MANNING has also triumphed on the big and small screen, appearing in such films as 8 Mile, Crazy/Beautiful, Hustle & Flow and the upcoming film Manson Girls. In addition, she recently won accolades for her guest role on “Law & Order: SVU” and can be seen recurring on “Sons of Anarchy” and “Hawaii Five-O.” While all have been diverse and complex, it is the passion and emotions that music evokes that keep bringing her back to the guitar, mic and turntables. She is a true musician at heart.
