Böblingen, Baden-Württemberg

Changed name
Formed in:
1994
Genre:
Thrash Metal
Themes:
N/A

Years active:
1981-1994 (as Backwater), 1994-1995, 1995-1998 (as X-Ray), 2007-? (as Backwater)
Not to be confused with Taipan (Doom Metal from Meiningen, Thuringia).

The reason that they changed their name from Backwater to Tai Pan is that Backwater had submitted a demo to Shark Records, but got a response back that the label "isn't interested in hard rock." They then sent Shark Records the same recording under the name Tai Pan, and were immediately offered a record deal.
