Y Kant Tori Read

Y Kant Tori Read was an American synth-pop band fronted by singer-songwriter Tori Amos and active between 1984 and 1989. The band originally consisted of vocalist and keyboardist Amos, guitarist Steve Caton, drummer Matt Sorum (later of Guns N' Roses), bassist Brad Cobb and for a short time, keyboardist Jim Tauber. The band's name comes from an incident in Amos's childhood where she was asked to leave the Peabody Conservatory because she refused to read sheet music. The band released one album, also called Y Kant Tori Read (1988), which was considered a big commercial failure.
