Tak Matsumoto Group (often abbreviated as TMG) was a supergroup consisting of members from several bands around the world. The group includes Tak Matsumoto, Eric Martin, Jack Blades and Brian Tichy.[1] From July to September 2004, the band underwent the "Dodge the Bullet Tour" of Japan.[2]
After an album, 20 shows and some videos and DVDs, the band never performed again. In a 2016 interview, Martin said he calls Matsumoto every year and asks him about a possible reunion, to which he always answers that he'll "think about it".[3]
